Even with her relative obscurity here in the USA, sales of the Scarabeo have surpassed the three-quarter million mark since they were introduced in back in 1993. The Scarabeo design is so successful, I can think of no other model with as many displacement options. In Europe the Scarabeo has been available as a 50cc 2-stroke, a 50cc 4-stroke, a 50cc Ditech, a 100cc, 125cc, 150cc, 200cc, 250cc and a 500cc over the course of the last couple of decades. Thankfully, in the United States, there are just three to choose from right now - 100cc, 200cc and 500cc.
Original and still designer Giuseppe Ricciuti, also responsible for the Aprilia’s Tuono, RS250 and the RSV Mille, shows that he can do more than road torching sport bikes by producing an elegant style often imitated but rarely accomplished in other big-wheeled scooters.
