RMS 'Classic Catalogue' 50 special racing Vespa project
Established in 1985 and based in the Monza/Milan area, RMS Performance Parts specialises in the distribution of spare parts and accessories for the motorcycle and scooter industry in Europe.
The company sells a range of over 40,000 product references to dealers throughout Italy and worldwide.
In addition to parts and accessories for the latest mainstream model motorcycles and scooters from many of the leading manufacturers worldwide, RMS has a strong 'Classic' programme, focusing mainly on older Vespa and Lambretta scooter models, as well as other PTWs such as APE and mopeds.
Featuring more than 800 pages of new and updated product lines from leading brand names as well as its in-house designed 'RMS Classic' line, the company's latest, 2023, 'Classic' catalogue marks the 10th anniversary of their 'Classic' programme.
To mark the occasion, RMS' Filippo Rigamonti told IDN that they decided to transform a rusty old frame into a 50 Special racing Vespa, ready to compete in the 500km of Pomposa.
They documented this project, making a total of 10 episodes, that can be seen online on their YouTube channel (@RMSMoto). Starting with the sandblasting, followed by the chassis setup, and ending with the engine rebuild and tuning, then the painting as finishing touch, each episode is dedicated to a specific phase of the restoration and showcases product from their 'Classic' programme.
"In order to realize our project, we put our products through extreme testing conditions to show the durability, robust design, high levels of quality control" said Filippo. "All RMS branded product lines are the result of extensive in-house R&D and high-quality precision production standards.
"The RMS Moto brand has strong Italian design and manufacturing DNA and offers a very wide range of products at a competitive value for money price point. Every RMS Moto part maintains the highest OEM parts standards, proudly distinguished by the 'Factory Quality' logo.
