Polini Motori XP4/50, 2008, 2,000 km, Kaarina

Familiar from the American Car Show: eye-catching and possibly Finland’s own Polini XP4.

This is a 2008 Italian-plate “minicross” model. These are no longer imported, so it’s a relatively rare moped. It’s not a patched-together frame job, but a Polini XP4 on its own plates.

The moped was fully gone through, serviced and customised during the winter of 2025 — hours and money were spent without skimping to make it very tidy.

All parts have been painted with quality Mipa spray paints. Tank covered with real carbon fibre. Fully customised, hand-made textiles from Mopotex. Exhaust refurbished and the silencer shortened for better looks. Wear parts replaced, electrics renewed, USD forks serviced and the engine serviced, etc.

Technical specification: 50cc Lifan Monkey-type engine, 16pz carburettor, 17–48 sprockets and Polini standard pipe with shortened silencer. Top speed about 50 km/h, so police should have no objections as the mechanics are stock.

During the winter several items were purchased, including:

• YCF number plate

• YCF front mudguard

• new headlight

• new taillight

• Sigma MC10 speedometer

• underbar mirrors

• footpegs

• grips

• Deli 10” tyres front and rear plus inner tubes (tread almost like new)

• custom decal set ordered from Italy

• quick throttle

• Mopotex custom seat cover

• Mopotex custom bar pad

• carbon fibre on tank

• + a large pile of tuning parts

• (tuning bolts, washers and other bling parts)

Wear parts/works carried out during winter 2025:

• new front sprocket

• new chains

• fork seals and oils changed

• new clutch cable and lever

• engine timing adjusted, oil changed and new copper washers

• new 16pz carburettor

• silencer shortened

• brake fluid added and rear brake bled

• chain slider

• gear lever

• air filter oiled

The moped’s electrics were completely renewed over the winter to be tidy, durable and simple.

New electrical parts include:

• voltage regulator

• CDI

• ignition coil

• battery

• spark plug

Surely I forgot something, but everything bought for the moped was purchased new from shop.

The moped project culminated in the shows. The Polini was displayed at the 2025 American Car Show.

There is a video of the whole project on YouTube under the user name “Polini xp4”.

The Polini was also shown at ACS 2026. After some summer rides it has been put back into show trim.

After the project I rode it occasionally last summer. I already have a car, so I no longer need the moped — time for it to go to the next owner.

So this is a unique show bike for someone, with stock mechanics.

13 April 2026: checked after winter (tyre pressures, chain lubrication, battery charged, bolt tightening etc.) and started (started on the third kick). Last ridden in summer 2025, so it may require minor carburettor tuning, etc.
