In this section you can find some articles and leaflets that appeared on motorcycle magazines, regarding racing Vespas and generally small-frames.

We recentrly added some maintenance manuals for our beloved Vespas. Still some are missing.

Keep in mind that most of the articles are scanned form old magazines so the quality can’t be excellent.

We are sure you’re going to appreciate this material, anyway.

Unfortunately most of the articles are in Italian. If you have any English or other languages material, please send it to us!!
