After having to sell my beloved PX125 because of an injury 😨 Just moved onto a "modern Vespa"' looking forward to it personalising a bit more 😀
Slowly getting used to it and actually starting to enjoy, though if I'm honest missing the PX, just hope this satisfies 😀

Hi and welcome to the forum

That's a good looking LX, nice colour and plenty of scope for personalising.

Although you miss the PX now, look on the bright side - your LX will probably be much more reliable!

That's a good looking bike.
Lots of ways to put your own individual touch on it. Getting rid of that light seat will help. I never liked them much.

Enjoy!!

Nice looking scooter, they look good in dark colours. I'm sure you will learn to like riding it, I have a shifty and a twist and go and each has their place.

Update - new LX paid for and I'm picking it up tomorrow! A chrome spark plug cover will be ordered sharpish, as I think it looks so good on your scooter Grump 8)

I'm pleased with the Lx, though got to be honest think I'm still dreaming of another PX.
Yeah think the spark plug cover is a nice touch, also might go for a head lamp rim with peak next.
Enjoy your scoot 😀

The headlight rims look good, but I was not keen on having to drill holes to fit it, and worried about whether the 3M adhesive would be strong enough to hold it on...

I think the PX125 sold long ago...and was in Coventry anyway so probably wouldn't have been cost-effective to ship to the states...
