Review of the 2008 Italjet Torpedo 50:ITALJET GOOD BUY EXPENSIVE FOREIGN PARTS |
2008 Italjet Torpedo 50. Picture credits - Italjet.

This is an awesome little bike with big wheels for increased stability at high speeds. I am a 240lb man and get maybe 40-45 m.p.h. on this little Italian scooter | ||

This bike is the new top of the line italjet torpedo model. It is extremely comfortable with space for maps a nice storage unit and motorcycle type tired. The rear brake is on the left and front is on the right. If you´ve ever ridden a motorcycle this takes a little getting used to. The brakes perform well, but on tight cornering I feel a strong gravitational pull that seems to want to force my legs side ways off the bike. This seems to be an issue with all scooters so i guess I am more of a biker guy. I truly enjoy my bike and recommend to all, but not for those looking to carry a female on the back, although it is designed for a second person with 240lbs +140lbs=380 lbs and it decreases torque dramatically so if ur intent is for a quick ride with a girl friend boast up to a 125cc or 150cc and you will not regret the investment. Another thing parts on all italjet models are scarce or cost alot in labor. I recommend you know what your getting yourself into and know of a local shop or online shipping and manufactor for just in case. Also I believe here in the states these big tired things are classified as str8 ^ motorcycles so a DM maybe necessary, but the advantages to it is that its allowed on major highways.
