The Malaguti Centro is an Italian-made motor cycle, produced by the motorcycle manufacturer Malaguti in two generations: the first from 1992 to 2001 and the second from 2007 to 2011.
The first series debuted in 1992 and is the first high-wheeled scooter produced by Malaguti at the Castel San Pietro plant. Initially proposed in Italy only with a single-seater saddle, the two-seater saddle was also introduced which was already available abroad. The engine was a 49.2 cm³ two-stroke single cylinder with air cooling, electronic ignition and continuously variable automatic transmission with dry centrifugal expansion automatic clutch. The frame was made of steel tube with differentiated section with front suspension with hydraulic telescopic fork with a diameter of 26 mm while the rear had an oscillating motor with hydraulic shock absorber with helical spring with differentiated pitch. The braking system consisted of a 200 mm diameter front disc with hydraulic transmission, rear drum.
In December 1994 the restyling made its debut, leading to the debut of a new instrumentation, a new front grille with new direction indicators and new colors for the bodywork. The top-of-the-range SL version with enriched equipment is also added.[1] In 1999 the catalytic converter was introduced as standard.[2] Production of the first generation ends in 2002.
