The Latest L-Series Prototype Shown at the EICMA 2006 Milan Motorcycle Show:

CMSI, the manufacturer of the L-Series motor scooter, presented the latest prototype at the 64th Milan International Motorcycle Show (EICMA). This latest prototype represents several improvements from the initial prototype that received rave reviews during the USA tour in 2005.

EDI (an engineering and design firm based in Italy) has recently completed the latest round of engineering improvements and testing on the second L-Series prototype scooter that was originally developed by renowned scooter builder Frank Sanderson of Scooter Innovation in the U.K. This latest L-Series configuration incorporates many improvements that were based on market feedback and engineering input. The L-Series will utilize state of the art components while staying true to the classic style that echoes the design of the classic Lambretta motor scooter.

“I find it particularly interesting and unique the rediscovery of the precise style of the Lambretta with avant-garde technical contents, as far as engine and other modern components are concerned.” Says Marco Doveri of EDI.

According to Tom Lynott, President of CMSI, the manufacturer of the new L-Series, “Lambretta enthusiasts will love the new L-Series for the blend of authentic classic styling and modern engineering. We look forward to selling the new L-Series in Europe, N. America, Australia, Japan, Korea and other markets where discriminating buyers want performance and reliability packaged in a scooter with the classic heritage and looks of Lambretta.”
 
“The L-Series scooter builds on CMSI’s tradition of being a leader in designing, manufacturing and supporting affordable, high value scooters.  This will be the most powerful luxury scooter available to authorized CMSI dealers around the world.” Says Piero Manzini, Interim President, CMSI International.

More details regarding initial production of the L-Series and specific technical data relevant to the bike will be released in the USA at the Indianapolis Powersports Dealer Expo, Feb 17-19, Booth #5219.
