Ok, I have been scooter for a year now. I started on a 50cc Mojito, Bought the wife a s150ie, and last weekend I bought this charmer. She has 10xxx miles, working speedo, and a numbers matching 180cc motor. Its an older restoration done 7-8 years ago. Right now, I am getting a new coil installed and a larger carb, Thinking about getting repainted to clean up. Now the fun will begin.

It had the correct date stamp and yes we caught that. The person we bought it from had 5 vintage rides, and the guy who looked it over has been on scooters since the 60's. I can love past a lot of things that are not 100%.

right on. I say so because there are many Rally 180 specific parts and the quadrant is one of them.

I would say grats on your buy, but I know of a few peeps who wanted it as well. lol j/k grats and take care of it. they only made about 25k of them total.

Grats!

People can say what they will about that color, but I like it, especially in that night shot, it's a looker.

Good score! You got to that bike before I did!

I saw that bike at Amerivespa two years ago. I think the seller wanted about $2,500 for the bike back then. That scooter hauler mishap saved you same cash!

I like.

I had the same year.

I had a slew of bikes before I moved up to LA. The only two that made the trip were the bmw and the 180.
