Modern Vespa

I just bought a 1980 p200e and came across these videos of a very detailed complete restore. Amazing!

Welcome to MV Bizi - yes, Robot has a ton of good vids out there.

Him and Steve did a bunch, and Robot has kept up the tradition. It's a great service to the community!

This video series is so good! He goes through the entire engine rebuild, and all the things that need attention on old bikes.

Very pretty bike!

I used these videos religiously in working on a similar P200...the only challenge is that there are a lot of things he doesn't do (cuz he didn't need to) related to bearings and other stuff.

Still a great primer and I'm in his debt.

The best videos by far are the scooter restorations ones that Sausage did. Worth every penny. Yes you can still order them from the UK. Not that the scooter west ones are bad, they are also helpful!

Robot has some awesome videos for moderns too, they do have a huge library

Have you watched these if so what did you use for a player? This comment has me a bit worried.

PAL format only – This dvd can be viewed also in NTSC regions with a compatible system e.g. laptop computer or via a UK DVD

I have the Lambretta ones on pal dvd and they play fine on an optical drive for my Mac. I have the Vespa ones digitally from someone else and the content is amazing. I will rewatch the engine one before I put together my Malossi 166 build I’m doing. Lots of top tips.

I keep my Robot certified YouTube scooter technician pin handy to give me extra confidence when I’m in over my head 🙂. Videos, MV and help from friends make this hobby possible for me.

I just ran across this one.

SIP showing how to rebuild an engine. They make the bearings look easy. They can't be this easy.
