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.
How did my finger get up there?
My beautiful baby! I wish!
A beautiful X9!

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.

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

Maybe it's a BV225!!
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. |
