45 years ago, Valerio Boni, Vespa tester was 20 years old, set an unofficial 24 distance record. Now, he took the same Vespa around the same track, and get an official Guinness World Record, 300 km farther


Certified by the Guinness World Records organization, the record distance now is 766.19 miles.

To make the event worth a few more lines is that not only is the scooter a 45-year-old Vespa 50cc, but that the same Vespa, with the same rider, in 1979 accomplished a similar feat, though not officially acknowledged, running a distance of 584 miles on the Pirelli test track.

Congratulations to 65-year-old Valerio Boni who, surprisingly, inscribed Piaggio Vespa on the Book of Guinness for the first time in the 78-year life of the most iconic scooter ever.
