Italika 150

Nicraage · 03-13-2013, 09:02 PM

This has been parked across the street from my house, lately. These are pretty abundant here. My 200cc barely crept past one of these at top end on the way to work this morning :evil:

Just a thought, but If can assist finding hard to come by parts for any of the regulars here, I'd be happy to do my best. Several different types of china bikes here.

I saw an Arizona plated Itallika,like your photo, here in Yuma, but a motard-style bike. It said 'SM 50' on the side, but my guess it was a 150, as I don't think they came as 250s, and the engine was vertical (and did not look much smaller, if at all, than my 200)

Hey boys and girls, Traveling Turtle here!
These ITALIKA make are assambled in Mexico and they sell them EVERYWHERE!
I did not know you could get them in the US. They are prety inexpensive (for american standard) and they are quite popular with delivery guys and off toaders wanna be, since thyey are more motard oriented.

I have talked to a few people at my work who have scooters, and they are kind of expensive compared to the costs in the US for scooters, but Italika has a dealer network, and seem to be decently built. I understand the same company that sells them, a store chain, is also a bank, so can finance them, hence the higher prices.
