Aprillia, Vespa, Motto Guzzi, and Piaggio Motorcycles All in One Spot
Posted in 
Feels like Italy has just moved into Shuweikh, I have known for a while that Aprillia and Vespa were in Kuwait but I didn’t know that most of Italy is housed in one location. Just behind City Center is the motorcycle shop for Aprillia, Vespa, Motto Guzzi, and Piaggio with a large selection of motorcycles. There is probably a motorcycle or scooter for every person, every color or king from retro to modern to aggressive to comfortable to sport in the showroom.
I’m a huge fan of Piaggio Motorcycles and its my first time seeing such a large selection of them. Whats popular in Kuwait is the Vespa scooters, I have seen some women driving them, and I have heard some guys driving it all the way to the border. Never underestimate those machines, some of those scooters can hit up to 180 kph which is ridiculously fast for a scooter, I never imagined that they did. Then there is the Piaggio three wheeler, and there is a black one which looks like a combat machine with all the bells and whistles to be driven by Robin, because Batman has the cooler bike.
Now for the Aprillia, the main reason that I went to the showroom, it has been too long since Aprillia has come up with the revised version of the RSV, since 2004. This machine looks better in person then any picture can depict and its reasonable priced. MSRP in Kuwait is 4990 KD for the Aprillia RSV which is pretty low for an Italian Motorcycle, and its sounds oh so good. Thanks to Ahmed for starting one up for me, I was impressed and it sounds so good for a stock machine, the Italians know how to make their machines look good and go fast. If you have any inclinations for two wheeled machines then I recommend that you head there directly, and if you like to see all the color combinations then head over there.

I really miss my 1994 Piaggio Skipper 150
it was very fast, much faster than the current models cos it was 2- stroke. I used to wheelie and wheel spin that scooter!
I always wanted the RSV but something is happening to me, I found that there is no point of buying racing bikes for Kuwait’s streets

@NE – AGREEEED!
@Kuwaity – You can enjoy the curves of the road that is what I do! On another note there is a couple of two strokes there you would enjoy!
@Teeman – Get the Vespa and Enjoy!
@Laialy_q8 – It does require a license if your gonna drive it on the road!
@A.Albaz – Its a Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe, Moto Guzzi’s make very nice looking retro machines, but you should here the tone of the exhaust, it will make you shiver!

Checvk out TriStar Motorcycle Academy for training & getting a license.Call Salem 2240 5194

For a 50 cc you don’t need a license, if you like anything bigger than 50cc we can train you and help you with the license

Being an insurance man,I assure you,one needs a license to be on a motorcycle on public roads,irrespective of the CC. When an accident happens & you do not have a ridding license then you can not make any claims & you will be liable for the third party damages also.
Get professional training ,not just from someone who wants to sell a bike !

Mr. Khaled, thanks for your feedback. Please note that Kuwait law and many other countries don’t require a bike below 50cc to be registered, therefore it doesn’t require insurance or a license. However this situation will prevent you to ride on public roads. The bike basically will be handled as a bicycle. You can ride in your neighborhood or shaleh or farm but no main roads. As far as professional training, we have a certified trainer that is certified by an American institution to train and to qualify trainers. Our job is not just to sell, but also to make sure we educate riders and to insure their safety. That’s why we always ask customers if they know how to ride or if they require training. The service is free of charge to our customers.

Craig,
For extra safety of ABS in Kuwait traffic , check out a used BMW C1 at TriStar Motorcycles

Dear Mr. Craig,
thank you for your inquiry. unfortunately it would be extremely hard to find a PX200 in kuwait, i myself would love to get one. however, VESPA just released the 2011 VESPA PX150 should be coming to kuwait soon with the same old look and 4 speed. and as biker said, we also have brand new VESPA GTV with ABS. call us on 24929303 for more details.
have a great day.
