P-series Technical Notes: P200

If you are in the market for a scooter, the P200 is a good choice. It is a well designed "classic" scooter with power to spare. Many people complain about the angularity of the P-Series, but they are still very waspy. The front mudgard and cowls are what give the "P" it's look. I think it really suits an electronic music lifestyle (reminds me of the old JX-3P synth in my room). Anyway, I find the specifications give a good insight into the workings of this infamous series. What follows is a list of specifications for the Vespa P200 under ideal conditions.
