MOPED ARMY

Thanks! Dang I thought I could maybe get a kit :/

The garelli team kit with a 5mm base spacer, a custom intake, pipe and reeds from treats and you can kit it. Even with the parts from treats you're probably going to have to modify them because they are made for the VIP.

This bike was the top post on Reddit r/moped for a while.

Those photos are from 5 years ago.

I've seen it in person and it's a clean build. If you don't kind having to custom make stuff than go for it. If you want parts availability there's a fast magnum on Los Angeles craigslist. I assume that's where this monza is located.

Like if I needed a new clutch down the road would I be able to get one off like treats or something?

I’m not too sure on that! But it does look like the VIP!

Thank you stephen!! How do you like your monza?

is there a particular benefit to the monza engine? hell, maybe a vip engine would be a swap candidate? i assume the stroke is different huh....

why in the world would they import a similar but totally different engine to the us back then.....that had to be a pain for the dealers/service centers...

Update::: I purchased the bike for 1100!! Super stoked on it! So clean! Had been sitting for 5 years and started right up!! Max mph 27... hoping to get it a little faster

35-40 would be nice!

I will check on that! Thanks!!

Here’s what it still looks like :)

The cylinder on those look huge and probably have room for porting but that's just a guess. You can definitely weld on an expansion chamber onto the header and probably upgrade the carb and get a couple more mph out of that bike. 1100 is a decent price for that build. Follow @woollybullies on Instagram come out to the next ride whenever we do something so I can see that bike in action. Last time I saw it was at a 2 stroke function at Deus Ex Machina.

Forsure thanks. Yeah the cylinders huge!! Tonight I would atleast hit in the 30s. Gonna have to look into that! I gave it follow!!! That’s right before the bike got sold haha. Then sat in storage for 5 years...

did ya change the "non-detergent" oil before starting it up?

just be careful, man

they're pretty rare and if you break something engine wise (ex: pedal the shit out of it and break the internal chain drive) get ready to crack the cases or pay some jerkoff on ebay 500 for a beat up replacement engine that "may" run

its an antique, treat it like one and your kids will ride it one day. if you wanna thrash, grab a beat up Maxi as a daily and only take out the Monza when you want the girlz to chase you down the street

Also, 27mph is way low.

you should be hitting 32-35 easily

but before you start pulling shit off it start with jet sizes in the carb and go from there (intake, carb, exhaust)

nice bike, take good care of her
