INSANE vespa auto 1952
Sweet ride ... very nice work. There are far too many Vespa purists on the road, good to see a 'darker' model.

I took a 50cc Ruckus and installed a 150cc elite motor in it. I have respect for the fabrication you have done!! Great Job!!

Very cool! The only part that looks a bit funny to me is the headlight although I know that is how they were made.
I have to agree though, I thought the old battered green paint had more charm. Seemed like a cool old military scooter or scrambler. |

One of my favorite parts hasn't been mentioned yet..
the seat. Being a big oaf, i'm always sitting back in that half-way position anyways.. i'd love to see how you mounted that seat to sit halfway back. -Eric |

at first i though he killed a good scoot
but the finished product was cool. i like the mix of modern/race style wheels, etc. did you put effort on customizing the engine etc. to make it run as fancy as it looks?....i like a mix with retro and some new stuff.

Awesome!!! Always liked classic lines and modern performance and never had any fear of blending the two. Great style comes out of pure self interest. If your not pissing people off your doing something wrong . It belongs to you. Do what you like.

this bike rules... More old bikes should be cut up. Let this be a lesson to those people who want them kept all original, if you want them original buy them your damn self and keep them original.
