1969 Lambretta GP 200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Lambretta's scooter motorcycle platform, the 1969 Lambretta GP 200 utilizes a 198 cc (12.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.7 HP (8.5 kW) at 6,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
