@@samsulbahari5455 I have a 49cc aprilia sx50 look them up. Looks like a motocross bike has 6 gears in the UK this is a moped... it has to be 49cc and limited to 28mph in the UK it can be an automatic or have gears. Always under 49cc
I think the most impressive thing is that the scooter is making 43hp from a friggin 150cc engine, that's 287hp per litre! Significantly more than any supercar or bike.
Come to southwest europe, poland to france to spain, thats not TOO rare here. Got the Aprilia RS's, Honda NSR, all kinds of Vespas, Simsons and so on. A good friend of mine has an NSU Mofa, originally literally a bicycle with a support engine, pumping about 2hp from 50ccm, now making about 20 from 70cc.
would of been interesting against a manual m3! The last gear change for that vespa makes it drop back abit. Probably hasnt got the torque to get it back up to rev range quick enough
That final gear shift is so short it stays right in the rev range never drops out in fact it only drops about 1k rpm shifting to 4th gear.its still near the redline. . It's just the aerodynamics and drag. Plus the vespa is already tach out at 97mph. So it's top speed is not much over 100mph. While the m3 will do 160 mph easily.
It just needed one more horse power😂 just one more .. I'm not a racer but would it of helped if the rider on the ped had put his weight over the back wheel ?
@@zigzag7194 He seemed to have no issues with grip, and its more of an issue with that moped doing a wheelie off the line, which is why he was leaning forward
@@zigzag7194The guy obviously specialises in drag racing I’m sure he knows exactly where to sit … But thanks for your advice He’s almost certainly trying to stop it lifting the front wheel 😉
Respect to the vespa rider, considering the vespa has most of its weight in the rear, with 43 bhp keeping that front wheel on the ground needs some serious skill and control. I know this very well, as I owned a 200cc vespa in the 80's (my first ride). That thing had only 12 bhp and it still was a hassle to keep it planted on hard acceleration from a stop.
Ive a 2016 PX125 with all the emission crap off it, sip road 2 exhaust, reedspeed cdi, bigger carb and jetting, t5 flywheels and stator, it can pop the front wheel up easy.
Readspeed scooters has a 53bhp vespa and it's only a 125cc. It's ridiculously fast. Can't even keep the front wheel down. They're planning on a bigger carb with they a 38mm at the moment and nitrous 👀
Of course we knew the BMW would be fast and yes the Vespa was race-spec purpose built machine but that was a seriously impressive performance from the scooter.
It's more a case of aerodynamic drag. Bikes always struggle with this. It's why the scooter can keep up until around 70mph, at which point the car's superior drag coefficient allows it to pull ahead.
Wow, what a scooter! Look at him put all his weight to the front during the launch. Man, that not only takes some balls but looks like work! Nothing like Sunday Mornings in Texas with my coffee and Officially Gassed
Jamie you never fail to disappoint!!! For 7 months UA-cam dropped you from my feed, decided to tune back in and not a drop in quality, proud of you man!
@@paulstevens9409 agreed my 600hp xfr will dust him from start, but as you say average car stands no chance. His biggest problem is the wheel barrow tyres, i have ridden many vespas, scooters and sports bikes, those little tyres are a nightmare they 'tramline' like mad, cause speed wobbles and are dodgy at best with spirited cornering. All that said he has created a mad scooter and i hope he has a lot of fun with it, hats off to the lad for what he has created. Reckon he could have a lot of fun by putting a pizza delivery box on it and surprising a lot of people with his fast food image!
to manage something like this on 40+ year old smallframe vespa base (aka something that shouldn't go over 50km/h) it is nuts fur sure, not to mention actually riding it. respect.
I own a e90 320i and a Vespa Primavera...so my word is law (hahahahaaa...). I could write a book to comment this challenge. The Vespa is absolutely insane, very far from the stock one...and insanely funny. I can't even imagine going 97 mph with her 10" wheels. The stock Vespa 50 had 1.5 hp and max speed of 40 kmh (28 mph?). Obviously the stock Vespa 50 doesn't exist, none ever saw one. Ever. At least they make some 60/65 kmh, some get to 80 while been perfectly fine for daily use. I love my humble 320i, but my Vespa is a faith...43 yo and still perfectly running. Awesome challenge, very fun, thanks to you all!!!!
I worked in a scooter shop years ago a guy in there had a DRZ motocross engine in a Lammy and he said it pulled 80 mph in 3rd gear and he’d never used the rest of the box. It’s on here somewhere it’s black with a Suzuki DRZ 400 engine. Saw some other crazy builds CR 250 and YZ 250s in them 💨
What is power though? The M3 has 420 ish hp at 8K rpm but torque is only like 280, the 335D has less hp but I’m willing to bet nearly double the torque and that torque hits from 2-3K rpm all the way to nearly redline if properly tuned. Not bad for straight line racing or just daily driving - the match up on the 1/4 mile would be dope though. Over the 1/2 mile I bet the 335D would get gapped hard 🤔
What a cool experiment to test such different yet comparable HP/weight class. Thanks for the video. What surprises me is seeing your list of 0-60 and 1/4mi times. It makes me realize that watching this GAS burning lot drag race is like watching horse-drawn chariots race. My electric 4-door daily driver can beat everything on that list-and this has been the case for years. I said goodbye to my E36 and E46 M3s years ago for electric, and I'll never go back to GAS. Cheers.

Exacly man, the same feeling good work jamie
Finally a ridicolously tuned Moped! Im so glad this happened. Thanks Officially Gassed, youre staying true to DIY Motorsports' Spirit.
Big up Aidie. He drove the wheels off that Vespa
Imaging if the moped had a little more gearing! 😂
"unfortunatly" most of the times those vespas are build specifically for 1/8 mile
I thought the same - looks like the Vespa gets to v-max and then the BMW pulls away.
Also even though you have the weight to power ratio aerodinamics are not there.
It's more a case of aerodynamic drag. Bikes always struggle with this. It's why the scooter can keep up until around 70mph, at which point the car's superior drag coefficient allows it to pull ahead.
Yeah he just barely ran out of gear.
Best race yet 😂
So much fun and interesting to watch
Laughed all the way through this... can't take anything away from the m3 but that vespa is quick 😂
This is why a love your content Jamie! Always bringing different kind off races to the channel! Was such a great watch.

Shame it weren’t a 1/8 mile race I’m no scooter man but that 2 stroke is super impressive 👍🏻

Damn that first race was close….and to be fair that second wasn’t too shabby either…I mean a moped vs a +400bhp M3 😂😂😂
It felt like I was being tickled watching this race, especially when that little one was doing the most
Yooooo that scooter is insane man wowww after a couple years watching this whas also the time worth bro greatings from holland💯
The moped rider needs to figure out a way to have less wind resistance at high speed. I believe that is what is killing the win. Great video!!
Definitely needs more gearing and a bit more RPM range on the little banger....
It's not quick enough? Appears to do the job for me considering 150 cc's I assume it's modified even though I did not read the fine print
5 or 6 speed upgrade would help it a lot
good lord... that was way closer than it should have been.
The Vespa was no pushover. Highly entertaining.
Thanks for a great showdown.

I saw a green moped at a Straight liners event, unbelievable how fast it was
Most impressive thing here was the scooter well done aide ,very very impressive
Good race ... Illustrates the power to weight physics perfectly x
Don’t forget that the rider will more negatively affect the p/w ratio of the scooter than the driver will affect the p/w ratio of the car.
I was rooting for the little vespa
Had the M3 driver used Launch Control he would've been significantly faster. I managed 3.9 to 60 in my m3 with similar mods.
eden the Vespa with an anti-wheelie pad in the rear would have set a better time.
Dude's out here surprised that scooter is "fast" as opposed to realizing his car's just slow for the weight.
One of the best drag races ever xD Amazing rider too
Great video!! But with a manual M3 It wuold be fairer 😜
How can one car be soo good looking. E92s are the best modern day classics and the m3 & 335s are fast aswell 🤤🏆

Mad to see your 335 faster over 1/4 with less power.
What is power though?
The M3 has 420 ish hp at 8K rpm but torque is only like 280, the 335D has less hp but I’m willing to bet nearly double the torque and that torque hits from 2-3K rpm all the way to nearly redline if properly tuned.
Not bad for straight line racing or just daily driving - the match up on the 1/4 mile would be dope though. Over the 1/2 mile I bet the 335D would get gapped hard 🤔
Are we not going to mention that Jamie’s 335 beats the m3 👀👀

What surprises me is seeing your list of 0-60 and 1/4mi times. It makes me realize that watching this GAS burning lot drag race is like watching horse-drawn chariots race. My electric 4-door daily driver can beat everything on that list-and this has been the case for years. I said goodbye to my E36 and E46 M3s years ago for electric, and I'll never go back to GAS.
