Engineered by Piaggio for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2011 Piaggio Beverly 300ie features a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Beverly 300ie measures 183 kg (403 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,535 mm (60.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 9.7-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 125 km/h (78 mph).
