If you’re a fan of Alex Márquez or Fermín Aldeguer, or both, it’s likely you also have a soft spot in your heart for Gresini Racing. While you’re watching MotoGP, and seeing Márquez on the podium at virtually every venue this year, the name Italjet keeps coming up.
Although relatively unknown in the United States, Italjet has been around for 65 years, making motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, minibikes, and electric bikes. Probably the best-known Italjet in the United States was the famously green 350T, ridden by American Bernie Schreiber to a runner-up spot in the 1980 FIM Trial World Championship, a year after winning the title with Bultaco in 1979.
These days, Italjet is best known for its scooters, including some impressively high-tech models. That brings us to the 2025 Italjet Dragster Gresini Racing MotoGP Replica Limited Edition. Only 75 numbered examples of this model will be produced.
For that price, you’re looking at a scooter with some impressive bits and pieces.
Öhlins takes care of the suspension with a piggyback-reservoir shock at each end. That’s right—this is a fork-free, hub-steering scooter. Behind the seat, you’ll see wings inspired by the Ducati GP24s that Márquez and Aldeguer rip around on.
Each handlebar end has a lever guard for when you’re dicing with traffic on the Pirelli Angel Scooter tires—12-inch front and 13-inch rear. Brembo slows you down, as necessary.
You can’t miss the Akrapovič Racing exhaust system, which takes care of the spent charge from the 278cc, DOHC Piaggio HPE engine with a fully automatic CVT. It puts out 24 horsepower at 8250 rpm and 19 ft-lbs of torque at 6250 rpm.
The red trellis frame with a removable subframe is an absolute work of industrial art, even by Italian standards. Curb weight is right around 300 pounds.
The 2025 Italjet Dragster Gresini Racing MotoGP Replica Limited Edition scooter also features a hologram that serves as a guarantee of authenticity. The livery is pure Gresini Racing MotoGP Team, with its signature colors and sponsor stickers.
So, if you find yourself in Italy with €9,499 burning a hole in your pocket, get yourself to an Italjet dealer, ASAP.
