Aloha from HI!
Bought a new Vespa today - left over 2016 stock. Pretty stoked
It will be a while before it gets here though, got it in SoCal and it has to get shipped over.
Not my first Vespa or scooter, but I'm hoping it will be the best one yet. Had an Elite 50 back in the day and later a 2 smoke 125 Vespa. Since then got into street bikes, then dirt bikes for a long time, then hung up the two wheel stuff and got into amateur (read highly unskilled) road racing.
Borrowed a scooter the other day and rolled around with some people here. Had a blast. We all had lucha libre masks. Killer fun. Got hooked again and here we are.
Should mention that I have the mod bug...just can't leave well enough alone...that said, looks like some cool parts are available for the Vespa. Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspenders to name a few

She's here
Picked her up a little while ago about 3hrs away from home (less if it isn't raining like mad!)
Been really loving this bike - so lovely to ride Any way, black OEM front rack and carver surf rack incoming. Thinking about some bar end mirrors and maybe a little black trim for the leg area maybe but stoked for now.

Congratulations on your new ride. Enjoy! (Now, if we could just get a scooter shop on the Big Island that would sell and rent Vespas - I guess that is too much to ask.)

Hi thanks Judy and yes Big Island. Also thanks for the tip on parts, I knew I'd be rolling up my sleeves having a vespa here.
Got it from Sherman Oaks vespa in CA; had it shipped over. She was leftover 2016 stock. 43k miles!?! Awesome! That is the most I've ever heard of on one of these. Ironbutt Judy! Nice work I posted a pic a couple of post above this one, but here is a rear end pic with the surf rack and top box installed. Not for the faint of heart as it required some grinder work on the box to make it all come together. Mounted the surf rack backwards too, meaning big plate below rack and little plate above (then ground off the mounting studs)
