Were they actually produced, I thought they just a concept...….I`ve seen the exhaust but that's it.
I was looking at a Polo (the scooter not the mint for clarity) the other day and thought I could see me on one of them, with a rapid engine in it.....that would be a head turner !

I am no expert but I believe that several prototypes were built. At Gijon, in 2010, there was most of one for sale. I remember the unusual looking black frame but that’s all I can remember about it.
There used to be a Polo at ESP in Wigan. That’s a few years back mind.

Isn't that a picture of the 'new' V200 in B&W!?

I believe so. I have read an article about them in the past, possibly in one of the old mags like Scooter Scene. There were other prototypes too including one that was badged 300. I have a picture of that somewhere that I took in Gijon. I’ll try and dig it out.

I saw that Amiga in Gijon. It was outside in the rain !. I think the exhaust was with it. It was just the frame as I recall. Shame it wasn't complete. It looked like someone had stripped it rather than it being an incomplete prototype.
