Modern Vespa

Alright what is that bulbous thingy near the kick start? see pic 1


And my cousin just bought a Honda something or other, what is this? (see pic 2) kinda resembles a urine sample.. total newbie here! I don't feel too bad about it though. No one seems to know what that cup is.

for the first question see [topic3956]

as for the second that would be the brake fluid reservoir and at the risk of sounding a bit like a jerk that should have been covered in the owners manual. And if one was not provided (new or used) your cousin should have sought one out. And who have you been asking that they couldn't figure that out?

No not a jerk. I was expecting someone to point out how ridiculous the question was...
I asked only a few people. He and biker buddies.
Thanks for the reply Corinthian

Look close and you can see it's a ducati. Sadly, many are fashion accessories. You don't need an owners manual for a purse so I guess you don't need one for the duc. It just needs to be covered by a wrist sweat band like all the race bikes.

I dunno - I need a manual to deal with my wife's purse - it is very mysterious and complicated, and I need permission to go near it.

Unfortunately, my wallet is not so mysterious and complicated, but luckily my wife keeps away from it.

Just to clarify the pic I took was not the Honda my cousin owns.
That is all

This one ...

is to visually check the oil level, and this one below

is the gas tank. You did know hat Vespas get 235 mpg, right?

Isn't that second photo of the brake fluid reservoir?

psst: Corinthian had already answered correctly

Ooops, that's embarrassing , at least I didn't get it wrong.

hehe.

Looking at it again, it reminds me of a Hefeweizen beverage holder.
