Hello all! New to your forums but have been lurking a while in preparation to purchase a shifty. I am currently riding a Buddy 125 and it has been great but I have the bug. Just brought home a 79/80 P200E. Needs a new top end but I wanted a winter project. With all the great info on here and the Interwebs, not to mention friends, I should have her up and running in no time (if I can find the time).

Welcome to MV!

That is a darn good looking P200E! I have never seen one with the leg shield protector (for lack of better description) on it. I like it.

Have fun getting it roadworthy and you get bonus points for pictures in your first post!

Thanks! That is the first "bra" I have seen on one also. Looking forward to getting her on the road.

The Badge states it's a PX200E but I"m not so sure when we looked up the VIN. I have noticed there is some confusion regarding the PX200E.

Nice looking scooter. You might want to post this in the Not So Modern section. That's where the people are who have shifty's.

Awesome!

I like the black and blue combo. Are you going to keep that?
