All this hate for the model will assure its desirability in 10 years. However, I don't think it beats the S&P 500.

I saw a Bieber Vespa in person but didn't stop to really look at it. Can the graphics be easily removed or are they under a clear coat? When I was a kid I rode an all white Skyway TA. White frame/fork, white Mike Buff Z-Rims, white GT tires, white Vector bars and all white parts, so I kinda like the all white look!

Biebermania's height was 2010-2012. Had a dim resurgence after a few years... and then this bike came out 10 years too late. If your dealers are actively undoing your work, either Piaggio USA isn't listening to their dealers, or Piaggio global isn't listening to Piaggio USA... Either way, no one is listening to Biebs.
from google trends - biebs search volume over the years... good job piaggio

Plus, I believe the age group of Beiber fans can't really afford an expensive Vespa, let alone be able to ride one legally on the road.

lol, so it turns out Piaggio didn't bring this bike out ten years too late, they brought it out ten years too early. There's a plot twist
