I eMailed him for details. He may or may not respond. Hope so.  I finally found this in my oft neglected eMail I think he is a bit optimistic about the performance: responding to your email, I just reposted the listing, thanks for looking..
This is a very very rare bike indeed! You will never see or find one anywhere else ever!
Completely custoom built and very very long list of performance upgrades aswell.
May trade for a good running fishing boat or cabin cruiser.
The Bike......
NOTE: these are both Italian made motors,
2001 Yamaha Vino frame and body.
2004 Aprilia Rally 50 motors, Motori Minarelli is part of Ducati, Vespa and Piaggio look it up for yourself. This bike was professionally built by yours trully.
Airsal all aluminum high performance 70cc bore 2 ring kit
Racing ignition by Molossi
High performance Molossi reed cage with Molossi carbon reeds
High performance Molossi kevlar drive belt, comes with a brand new still in the pkg kevlar belt aswell
Molossi variator with 2.5g roller weights 
ARRECHE 21mm carb with the manual choke, much much better than auto choke!
Thechnigas 70cc exhaust
many other custom upgrades must see in person and ride.... this is one of those bikes where you ride it once you will have the biggest smile and def want to buy it!! really!
Vinos usually have the battery mounted directly under the seat, I moved the battery to the floor board so i could weld in a reinforcing bar to sturdy the frame more.
This bike handles like its on rails, too much fun to ride and very very powerful and fast. Will outrun a Vespa 150 any day of the week hands down!! don't believe me bring your 150 and lets race for titles!! really!
This bike has more room for performance upgrades but after building it i am more than happy with how it performs. Very Very reliable will never leave you stranded anywhere, you can zip around the city all day long and never have to worry! really! I removed the oil tank and i premix the fuel myself which makes the motor more reliable and cleaner to run. This would be a great bike for messengers and for someone that wants either a toy to zip around on.. the brakes are very nice, the bike feels like it wants to throw you off when you open it up! lots of power!! and the top end is about 65 - 70mph this bike always starts on the first kick every time.
Feel free to check out my Youtube videos of this bike in motion and what it can do.... Even still the videos do not do the justice!! from a stop when you open the throttle its 0 to 65 in like 3 seconds! really, don't believe be watch the videos.... you will see for yourself. anyways serious buyers only, Sorry I will not let an inexperienced rider take it for a ride, unless you have a severe death wish and want to pay for it in advance sure it's all yours! take a look at the youtube video links. thanks for looking.
The riding vids are not really impressive |

Dude's 'Super Vino' ain't half as super as Walter's is. Did you note that Dude was running 2.5g rollers. His top end is probably only no more than 45 mph. He doesn't even have a speedometer. How does he know he's going 65? I thank I've just about hijacked Brent's build thread. Sure didn't mean to.

Hijack away. Gave me a good laugh. First off, it's not a bad scooter.... it's just not what he makes it out to be. The odd part to me is that he took a fairly expensive Yamaha and replaced all it's parts with Chinese stuff. The 2.5g rollers are working to some degree.... but considering how long he went WOT in one burst he's never getting to 65. Not that My Venus is fast up top either, but I don't go around claiming it is like this dude. Molossi? Really!?! (He REALLY likes to say really.) Malossi is one of the big boys in scooter tuning and he claims to be a professional but has no idea there's an A in there. Look at the boxes for all of those parts you have.  Anyone else find it odd that he wears rubber gloves just to show you his scooter? |

One thing I learned from some youtube vids I was checking out the other day... some people say "I built" when they mean "I paid for" or "I picked parts for" at best. One guy in a youtube vid said that he had just got his motor back from some company ready to drop in. Then he said "I built it with..." and "I installed" etc... Kinda makes me wonder about this "professional". Did we wever see both hands? Maybe it was just one white latex glove to pay tribute to Michael Jackson? :scared:

I guess he's a 'surgical' tuner.

While I was cleaning the CVT from the belt snap, I wanted to do a couple of mods. I lightened the clutch shoes just a little and got some Dr. Pulley sliders. I had seen that 7-8g was about right for rollers, so I got 6g, 7g, 8g, and 8.5g sliders. Even the 8.5g sliders are too light. To make sure it wasn't soemthing else, I've swapped clutches, clutch springs, and contra springs as well to no avail. With rollers being too light It gripped and got going then slipped and then gripped all the way out from there. Now with sliders the clutch hits with a little jolt then it revs like it's slipping then it catches and is fine from there. Sometimes I hate CVTs. lol My friend was watching me last night and said he wished he could adjust his bike's transmission like that. I told him I'd trade him for a transmission that doesn't slip with 6 speeds.

The 9.5g (heaviest I could get) sliders came in today. I stuck them in there (along with the 1500 contra, stock clutch, 2000 clutch springs, 3 vari spacers). Took off and gripped. No slipping. Sweet... or not. Shifted to "2nd" and bogged. Went up to the 2000 contra and it slips a bit and then still bogs. For some reason I can't get these sliders to stop slipping with any decent setup. I had a bit of trouble with the rollers too, but this seems worse. Hmmm. This thing is gonna make me cross-eyed.

It seems I coulda got it in tune with what I had. I just couldn't really tell and thought I could eliminate all the slipping. It seems I get the best performance if I can live with a little slipping. It's at 8g sliders, 3 vari spacers, Hoca vari, filed vari faces, powerlink belt, stock rear pulley, malossi torsion control, 2000RPM contra, lightened clutch, 2000RPM clutch springs, stock bell. Revs a little higher than I like... then again I've spent a lot of time on a 99cc.... but runs pretty well.
It was topping out at 45-45.5MPH on flats with me sitting up. It just seemed like I was missing out on something, and I've been wondering if my MRP pipe could improve performance. Not a fan of the styling, but if it works it may be worth it. I bolted that on and wow is it loud. I was thinking it was quieter. Tried again to make sure it was sealing at the header. Still loud. I took it for a quick pass and got to 47MPH sitting up, but fairly similar otherwise. It might have gone faster if I gave it more time to try and rev out, not sure. I'm gonna try to repack the silencer, but if that doesn't help I may not be able to keep it. I shoulda known... after all I used to make people jump when I revved it in town sometimes. Not sure if the volume really comes across in a video, but here it is... I think the best clue of how loud it is, is that it sounds similar to the tone of an open header if you're used to that at all. I had a little headache after even a brief pass.
It's also out of tune with the pipe it seems.

I repacked the silencer this morning. Made a nice difference. It appears that last time I used too little packing and it pushed all the packing to one side of the silencer. Last time I used 1/2 a bag, this time I used a whole bag of FMF packing.  It's still not quiet, but it's reasonable. This pipe really has a lot of that 2T ping... probably because I've scraped it up so bad that the metal is thin.  You can really tell that it's out of tune in this vid. Sorry if it's ugly Reg, but if I can pull a few more MPH out of it it might just stay ugly and "hemaphroditic". |

Well, the faster you can make it go the less "hemaphroditic" it looks.
Lola.... La La La La La, Lola. ;D
