The Spirit of Bologna

The Malaguti name – associated with some of the funkiest scooters of the 1990s boom such as the F12 – is now in the hands of the KSR Group.Austrian company KSR are behind some major brands now such a Lambretta scooters, Brixton and KSR motorcycles and most recently Malaguti which they are using as a brand for both scooters and motorcycles. Production is taking place in China.

At the 2018 EICMA show Malaguti put on display a machine that they are calling the Malaguti Madison 300, named after Malaguti’s old Madison maxi-scooter. The strange thing about it is that it doesn’t look anything like the Madison design. Instead it looks very much like a Gilera Nexus – a Piaggio Group design from 2004 which is no longer in the Piaggio range.

The Madison300 shatters the myth of the dull commute. It breathes attitude, class and power into any journey, no matter how routine. Its sleek design cuts through on the city street, backed up with an impressive engine that means it can more than handle itself on the motorway.

It has updated design of the turn signals that are now integrated in the bodywork. Au contraire, the Madison 300 has a bold and assertive vibe to it, a feature that will most likely draw a lot of attention from both seasoned riders and newer ones. Malaguti prepared two color options: a sober, black one with diminutive red lettering, and a more eye candy red and black livery that stands out in the crowd.

Underneath the robust-looking fairing, Malaguti installed a 4-stroke 278 cc injected single with liquid cooling that can produce almost 22 horsepower at 7250 rpm. Given the dry weight of 173 kg, the Madison 300 should behave quite well even when ridden hard on the highway, with decent stopping power from the ABS disc brakes front and rear.
