This beauty finally arrived at AF1 Racing today. Three color tones, including contrasting matte/gloss on the front. It looks better in person than in the promotional photos released earlier this year.

It's for the tears shed when you pay the price ...

It's a beautiful looking scooter, but I still don't get the practicalities of the wheel bag. I know it looks good, but it's usefulness is debatable.

The cylindrical bag is more beautiful.

I am not stoked about it but it looks beautiful. If and when I decide to get another Vespa this would be my color of choice. Besides Dragon red I believe this is the most color ever.

My color vocabulary is limited, so I can't really opine on whether it is Champagne. It seems to have more yellow hue than any Champagne I've consumed.

I didn't buy it for the bag, but I have to say the bag looks good. Like so much fashion, it might be pretty, but it might also not be so practical. I think the bag comes for "free." If you take the cost of the Supertech and add a rear rack, you're basically at the price of the 75th.

The wheels are lovely; I'll take a photo and post it once I pick up the scooter.

Here's Robot's look at it:

We got them here a month ago. You really have to see it in person. A really great color...

And I got my "75" badge I had on backorder...

The basket on the Picnic edition comes with a water proof cover and i don't think it would fit a helmet. Same with this bag. ie pretty and pretty useless 🤷‍♂️
