Black Moonliner: Vespa, Meet Kustom Kulture

The bike's visual signature is built on a foundation of flawless, mirror-finish black paint. This deep canvas is the perfect backdrop for the delicate, hand-laid pinstriping by Jeffrey, which wraps around the bodywork. The direct homage to Mooneyes is unmissable, with 'GO! WITH MOON' script and an array of Rat Fink graphics. The defining feature, however, is the set of solid Moon Disc wheel covers, which streamline the scooter’s profile and anchor its retro-futuristic aesthetic. It's a look that feels both classic and contemporary, a difficult balance achieved through a clear vision and an obsessive attention to detail, right down to the custom suede seat and tinted lighting.

"It’s a rolling tribute to Mooneyes, blending hot rod spirit with an obsessive collection of high-end, often out-of-production, tuning parts."

Beneath the bespoke bodywork, the original 125cc heart has undergone major surgery. The build centers around a serious injection of performance, led by a ttmrc direct-injection kit and a high-flow Level10 CNC cylinder head. Fueling and ignition are managed by a programmable aRacer Smart mini X controller, a staple in the high-performance scooter scene. This is paired with a 34mm Keihin throttle body and a custom CNC velocity stack, indicating a setup built for sharp throttle response and significantly increased output. A handcrafted AM exhaust system provides a fitting soundtrack while a host of CNC components, from the oil pan to the cam, show a build where no detail was overlooked.

With a heavily modified engine, the chassis and braking systems required a complete overhaul. Handling is now managed by a full suite of Shark Factory components, with an X2-FSP fork up front and an X2-RAP shock at the rear. The braking power is immense for a scooter, featuring a Brembo M50 monoblock caliper—typically found on superbikes—gripping a Maru's 220mm disc. The rear isn't neglected either, with a Brembo CNC "big crab" caliper. This build is also a showcase of unobtainable parts, boasting a vast collection of discontinued Maru's CNC items, including the forged wheels, hubs, and brake levers, making it a true collector's piece. Fren Tubo carbon fiber lines complete a package focused on maximum control.
