Positioned in Piaggio's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Piaggio BV 350 pairs a 330 cc (20.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 30.2 HP (22 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 29 Nm (21.4 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 91.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (8,250 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 BV 350 measures 176.9 kg (390 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.86 kg per horsepower). 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 1,540 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
