Here’s a look an Italian Urban Scrambler, the first motorcycle designed by TPR Italian Factory. The new company has been established by Pietro Figini, and designed this Urban Scrambler, presenting it to the Italian press recently.
Pietro Figini, known as “Figio” had decided that no Italian offering on the market expressed character, style and uniqueness, and so he designed this, as the bike he had been looking for. His father, Figio Senior, is a well-known collector and restorer of Vespas.
Figini has a passion for English motorcycles, and so decided to use a twin cylinder 800cc engine as a base, along with the Triumph Bonneville’s double crade chassis. The rest of the bike then went into production, taking inspiration from bikes from the 1960’s.
The Urban Scrambler is also a performance bike, with work on the engine and fuel system resulting in a respectable 75 hp. Alluminium has been extensively used on the bike, making for a weight of approximately 180 kg. Now all we can do is wait to try it… Technical specs after the jump.
