Got my brand new 2013 piaggio bv350 yesterday and omg its the Cadillac of scooters and very fast.... does anyone know of any good upgrades right off the bat for them? I would love to make mine a little more original don't really need more performance its already a beast, thought about a ram air of some sort and possibly a carbon fiber two bros exhaust....

Luke everything you've read or heard about it is true.... its freaking amazing drives its self almost and so much power easily pass people with a flick of the wrist and the engine braking while it does take some getting use to is amazing and I am pretty sure the headlights and running lights on it are brighter then most cars! On the way home from buying it at Vespa Marietta I had to get on I-75 in Atlanta and omg can it hang with traffic I have not tried to top it out or anything since its brand new but taking that on ramp I know I hit well over 80mph... I am truly in love with this scooter and catch myself going outside just to look at it lol.

Fuel Injection one hell of a good thing to have over the carburetor. I love the Piaggio you should have a blast with it. Ram air try a uni filter and make your own intake chromed or stainless.
Yeah get a video of it man.

I don't think Piaggio make a bad scooter. I love my Fly 150 and its built much better then my "Fashion". I am enjoying the hell out of the "Fashion" tho! Hate that I have to sell the Piaggio.

I would just leave the bike alone. A louder exhaust is just that-louder. If you plan on doing longish rides the sound will actually wear on you. Plus performance mods always affect reliability.

agree with KZ,,, i hate when people upgrade for speed. , like for instance the big bore kit, 99% of people who install BBK on their scooter end up overheating., engine block scuffing, and god knows what else shet happens. if you need speed get a higher displacement scooter or get a 20 speed bicycle. my goodness!! you should listen to Kz, he's a veteran when it comes to many things.
plus he's rubbing elbows with the gardener. lol

Lol don't need speed this scooter does over 90mph stock just want to make it my own and look different then everyone's and a carbon fiber two bros exhaust would do that and a ram air would get rid of the air box making it again look different which is what I said in my original post

Go for it myself52, It is your ride and you do with it what you want, do not listen to the nay Sayers. Forgive them for they know nothing of what they say. Actually they may not know much about scoots except what they read Alleyoop
