A day spent visiting my dream machines at the BMW/Vespa dealer.
My favorite blue BV500.  The wine-colored one on the right is nice, too.

Farsideman Thanks! I had not seen the blue BV500! Now I gotta get one, blue is my favorite color. If my wife would let me I would trade now. The Vespa is paid for, the BV would have to be payments. Just do not need that right now.

It is a great bike, and I will get one next year, I hope, Beale.

Beale, notice the blue one has a helmet lock bar on the side of the luggage rack. The wine-colored one has a different rack with no helmet lock. Keep in mind that there is no room under the seat for a helmet, not even a beanie helmet. The salesgirl told me the side cases made for the BV500 are awesome-looking, as is the top case, which is instantly removable with a key. I've seen that setup on a slate gray one, and everything matches perfectly. A medium-tall windshield is also available, which I've also see. Like you, I love the blue BV500, but I have to pay off my vintage green Vespa first. I'm trying for next year, too. Laughing emoticon

The helmet lock bar is new for 2006 models and up.

Farsideman,

That dealer needs to hire you to work there part time. You definitely have the Vespa Virus.

You know the more I looked at it... it has the helmet lock on the rear rack. So it must be a 250.... But where's the windshield?

Oh well, still looks purdy. (A girl I work with says things look "purdy" and I'm always mimicking her about that) Razz emoticon

I was wondering the same thing about the windshiel.
On the BV200 it is separate as on the 250 it should be part of the handlebar, but I cannot see it.

Maybe it's a BV225!! Clown emoticon
Hey Farsideman- sorry to highjack your thread. I REALLY do like that blue BV500. I had a blue LT150 and really liked that scoot in that color. I'm going to have to check them out next time I visit my dealer. I've heard nothing but good things about the BV500.
