Modern Vespa

Minneapolis
My darling Vespa is for sale. I wish I could keep it , but I have Stage IV bone cancer in my legs and it's spreading . Meaning, I don't have leg strength to kick start my baby anymore. And can no longer use the right foot brake. It's not going to get better so there are decisions I need to make.
So, without any bikers in my family, I must part with my Vespa, let someone else enjoy it. She runs perfectly. Recently installed a new engine, a long brown leather seat, new battery, new tires, and a spare.Comes with dust cover.
Email me at playingmusic@yahoo.com with serious inquiries only. It has a clean title, no liens, and a 2025-26 registration. Firm price.$6,000.

I hope the best for you. From a cancer survivor.

Thank you. Blessings to you too!

Sorry to hear.
Wishing you the very best.

Wishing you the best!
From someone going through something similar.

Hi CubFanGal - that truly sucks. I hope that your treatment goes as well as it possibly can.

You might want to edit your original post, change the subject to something like and flag it to be moved to the For Sale / Wanted forum. You should get some more eyeballs on it there.

All the best.

You will actually get more eyeballs on it here in NSM then you would on the for sale section ….and under the circumstances I'm gonna let it ride.

(The title format is only important if you do decide to post it on the for sale section… just a heads up)

Thanks Birdsnest 👍🏻

Of course, one could post there, also, as long as one was to use the correct subject formatting, correct?

Beautiful scooter Cubfan.

So sorry to hear this. Sending you lots of love through the ethers. My heart goes out to you.

Sorry to hear of what you are going through, very best of luck with the sale

Since I have (incurable) cancer, can I say it?

And do you have any pictures of your bike that were taken in Minneapolis, rather than Hanoi?

That bike was put together in Saigon.

Exactly what I was thinking !
That does not sound right…

Dang it... that's what I get for paying attention.

or

Damn... that's a lot of tropical foliage for Minnesota. Didn't realize palms did so well in the snow.

FWIW, that exact same location appeared in photos of a different scoot that was supposedly for sale in Boston last year. Same pavers. Same vegetation.

Who would give such health dramatic details when selling a bike ? What's the point ? Pity ?

Looks like a scam.

Will lock.
