W/NW Mopeds & Scooters

This gem is a photo of a scooter brand I owned, Moto Rumi from Bergamo, Italy. The Lambo of the scooter world. Twin piston 125cc little screamer. The same engine in a racing motorcycle frame and tune could do 100MPH. Mine, the Formichino, came in single and dual throat carb versions. I had the single throat, thankfully. The dual throat was quite a bit quicker. Here is a photo of one. I did not have whitewalls but otherwise this is exactly the same.

I had the scooter almost 70 years ago, no camera back then. I could hardly afford gas. So this internet pic has to work. It is the one. This is the story: Moto Rumi - Wikipedia
