I had a play on my mates Fuoco 500 the other night (left him standing, he was on my 250), he's taken the big screen off, which makes it a totally different ride, with the bare handle bar and nothing in front of your face it felt like i was riding a big dirt bike, and doing 85mph was exhilerating!!
You never see Fuoco's without a big screen nowadays?

No, no! "New Vespa 500 Pictures" was supposed to be the title of the post and "April Fool...HA HA !!" was supposed to be the content when you opened it. As a Bob Newhart monologue involving Abraham Lincoln once said - "No, no, Abe. First you were a rail splitter, THEN you became a a lawyer. It would not make sense for you to give up your job as a lawyer to become a rail splitter." Sequence is everything.

assuming we're still on screens (and not talking about going commando Laughing emoticon )..

it took me back to when i first tried a 500, it took my breath away, you just don't get that looking through a sheet of plexi

mind you Sticky, where you're from, there's more flying critters, and they're bigger!

Saw one parked on the sidewalk the other day. They had to alter the frame to fit the larger engine. It was vintage styled, but not GTV.
