2000 Italjet Dragster 180 scooter (take 2)

With summer upon us, I decided to put the Italjet back on the market. I've created a new ad to keep things tidy, as I've done some work to it over the winter.

This is an Italjet Dragster 180cc that has been heavily modified. You won't find another like it. I will go into great detail below, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for a fast, interesting and beautiful scooter, this is it.

Looking for $6,500 or nearest offer. Would also consider interesting trades, both straight up or adding/subtracting. Some examples of interesting trades:

1984-85 Mazda RX7 FB
1st/2nd Gen Miata
Old jeep (2 door)
Rolex
Panerai
C4/C5 corvette
Modern Vespas (looking for multiple)
1970 Viking mini bike
Old RV or Camper
Guns!

Try me! I like trades.

2000 Italjet Dragster 180 ‘superleggera’

This build started out as a stock 2000 Dragster 180. I purchased it from the original owner in Washington, who had been using it as a pit bike. I’ve always loved the Dragster, and wanted to make it into something even more unique. If you aren’t familiar with the Dragster, it was designed by Miguel Galluzzi (of Ducati Monster fame) with hub-center steering designed by Elf. It is a liquid cooled 180cc 2-stroke.

The following is a list of modifications, but as it’s been 4 years in the making I’m sure I am forgetting something (or a lot of things). It is the fastest, lightest, most fun to ride scooter I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. Clear Colorado title.

The Bad

-Small dent in exhaust, hard to spot as it follows the bend.
-It's light. Very light. You will lift the front wheel by accident.
-Everything else (since my last ad) has been addressed.


Between the stock bike and modifications, I have about $16k into this bike (and all receipts).

As I said, I’m sure I’m forgetting something. With all of the modifications, it’s pushing 36hp at the rear wheel. I’ve had it up to about 120mph (indicated), and it had a bit of room left. I’ve also taken it on 400+ mile trips, and it’s been super reliable.

This would be a great toy for MotoGP this month

 

Open to offers!

 

Bump!

 

I was actually thinking about taking a video this weekend if the weather permits

 

Figured I'd bump this. I'm moving in August, and would rather sell before I do. Accepting reasonable offers.

 

Listed on eBay at 6500. Fchat price 5200.

 

Still for sale. Price reduced to $5K.

 

Reduced to 4,500 for the holidays. This is a smoking deal at that price.

 

Lowered to $4k for a quick sale. That's as low as she goes. Grab yourself a $15K scooter for peanuts.

 

Alright, on ebay. Low low reserve of 2500 if someone wants to grab it.

 

It sold, sorry.
