Modern Vespa

Hey everyone! I just thought that I would share some pics of my Giallo Positano Sprint 150.

Current accessories..


Matching trunk and leather cushion
Matte black crash bars
Floor cover
Mix of random stickers and OEM Vespa stickers
Vespa Italian target helmet

Not many upgrades but still looks far from factory

Some more. I am using my phone so I can only upload them 1 by 1

Some Italian flag license plate holders

Yellow is a great color for a scooter. And yours is looking good!

Very nice and you've done well making it your own. Well done.

I have no dog in this fight but my two cents worth is:

When a first got on MV in 2007 one of the universally accepted truths was that the rubber floor mats were not the way to go. I can't remember exactly why. I think it was because, when a rock or any other grit gets underneath, it damages the paint.

Another majority opinion was and still is that side stands are bad medicine. I really like using mine to hold up the bike while I get off. Would I leave it on the side stand in a place where there was a chance someone would make the stand retract and drop the bike? No; but that doesn't mean they don't have their proper uses.

Also, when getting off for a few seconds to mail a letter etc., the side stand is great. I used to feel silly putting the bike on the center stand like I was going to park it there for a long time. It's like getting completely dressed warmly when you only want to reach outside the front door for the morning paper

Nice!!

I agree with you on the sidestands. I never ever use mine but I cannot return it so I decided to just keep it on. Looks cool to me. As for the floor mats my scooter is always immaculate after driving 500+ miles I take it off and theis just dust under it. It is actually more comfortable for my feet using the mat too. I actually notice the difference. Thank you for your concerns

Nice looking ride ! How is service at Miami Vespa. I'm going to be there till April and need to bring in my scoot for the first service next week. What do you think ?

To me they are excellent. Very very good people who have done so much for me ( for free ). I go in their all the time because they have a great selection and I just BS with the staff and we all became pretty good friends.

Thanks for the service report. Looking forward to getting my service done. If your around when I go maybe we could hook up to say hello and I can see your sprint live 😀

That would be awesome! I also have a 2009 Buddy 150 St Tropez =). My Sprint just started backfiring a little bit today I am not sure why. It was ridiculously humid out so maybe that it why. Regardless, let me know when you are actually in Miami and I will tell the guys at Vespa to hook you up!

Very nice, but you helmet doesn't match. Go and correct...

Lol I already have a black helmet but it is too hot for florida. A yellow one would just be tacky imo

That is smooth AF!! Not usually a fan of the yellow, but you did it up right. Great job. I'm with you on the matching helmet. Might be a little much- You'd look like a honey bee riding a yellow jacket.

Here's my Ruby. Goes with any color.
