Modern Vespa

Hey guys... I realize It's been a quick minute, but i've been scootless for some time now and without a Vespa to speak of, it's difficult for me to justify posting on a Vespa forum...

....and as y'all might have guessed.... i'm in the market for a new (old) bike.

basically looking for a sixties bike that can keep up with rallies (had my eye on a VBA) with a p200 swap...) so actuallly looking for any input on what it would take to kit a 150 to expect P2 performance out of 150 cases... so please guys let an absentee asshole reap the knowledge of ya'all's genius...

because honestly if i dont have a scoot by next month im gonna lose my shit....

Sure. Send me all your bank details and I shall wire transfer the funds to you.

on vba cases you need to open up a port at the top,,,its 20bucks for jb weld and 70or so for a rotary tool like a dremel, then open up the sides a tad (carefully) and fit a polini 177 or maybe a bgm 177.


you will want a bigger carb than the 1517,,no need for reeds just a 2020 or 2424 will do.

check the condition of the clutch and go from there

Thanks for gettin wit me on this one... I am HAVING a fuckin scooter this month... this is lookin like the one..

and yeah.... i know its overpriced.....

Damnnnn.... where you been!?
You livin in the Seattle area now?

doesnt look like a vba man, looks vna ish...just check what intake it has..yep

If you are in Seattle, lemme know if you'd like to look at a couple of mine that might suit you better. That one's too pretty for you, mine not so much.

i have a project p200 for sale in seattle for $600.

MY MOTHERFUCKER! How you been Robert? beers are on me next time we meet...

No i was in AK for 6 mos... back in PTown now.... and fresh outta Vespas...

Jesus.... No shit? i'm more into 60's bikes but damn... Pm me with the deets.... I'm still tryin to figure transportation from seattle to portland, but damn... damn... did i mention DAMN

I guess i shoulda been more specific (i was a lil drunk) as i was more asking that all my internet scooter homies weigh in on my purchasing decision (I.E. spend my money on your ghetto dream bike), not so much buying me a bike....

ps... bummer is a '77 Rally just sold here for 1500 or less

Hey, wake up and shake off the cobwebs, you have PM. Guy I know wants to sell you a nice Sprint that's ready to roll if you don't have time or a work space to jump on Rob's DOD project.

Yeah... hey Rob, pics & repost in Deal O' The Day please! Seems like just a good motor is worth that during the 'season'.
