2018 Lambretta V200 Special Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Lambretta for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2018 Lambretta V200 Special features a 168.9 cc (10.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.9 HP (8.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12.5 Nm (9.2 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 70.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the V200 Special measures 86.2 kg (190 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.24 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
