Context: Italian magazine reports on scooter and motorcycle performance.
"La versione 50 e quella "targata" sono diverse, come sono diverse gli utenti a cui si rivolgono." This was referring to the Garelli Tiesse and the internal quotation marks were used by the magazine. I understand that ***targata*** means the bigger bike must have a licence. I am sure, however, that there must be a specific expression or word for that in English. Can anyone help? (I also begin to understand the passion for bikes!)

More powerful
"The 50 cc and the more powerful version... " I would do it this way Mary, rather than hunting around for a term that I don't think exists in English.
Note from asker:
You are right. I think it makes sense - here the important thing is the power and performance, not the plate. |

full license/larger capacity (bike)
it depends on countries, but this is what it means and you have two options:
to put the emphasis on the fact that you need a license to ride it (full license bikes, as opposed to scooter license bike) or on the bigger engine (larger capacity engine)
to put the emphasis on the fact that you need a license to ride it (full license bikes, as opposed to scooter license bike) or on the bigger engine (larger capacity engine)
