THE APPEAL
Styled by Bertone , the GP range (DL outside the UK) was the last of the great Lambretta scooters.
Available with 125, 150 and 200cc engines, the new motors offered several improvements over their predecessors, including more robust crankshafts and better gearing. The new styling was also that bit more streamlined.
In the last of the line, the GP200 Electronic, the one Lambretta weak point – the ignition – was replaced by an electronic alternative supplied by Italian motorcycle manufacturers, Ducati.

SUMMARY
The GP200 Electronic is probably the ultimate expression of the Lambretta scooter offering even better performance and robustness than its predecessors, with the added chic of Bertone design. And that Ducati electronic ignition takes the uncertainly out of firing up the motor.
An added bonus is the machine’s quality restoration and that it comes from a knowledgeable Lambretta enthusiast.
