Modern Vespa

I am now the proud owner of my first vespa.
My dad sold it to me at a bargain price and has just finished restoring it.
It runs really smooth, but the paint/body work isn't in the greatest of condition.





I know she's not quite as nice as all the others on here, but she's my first one, and I'm new so be nice haha.
Also, her name is Trixy.
What do you guys think?

get the malossi 172 kit on

i would but i only have a provisional UK license, and a 125 is the biggest engine i can ride on that i got seventy five out of her in 4th the other day, i'm quite happy with that for now haha

very nice... i wish there were more T5's in the United States.

I would like to hop on a plane and take that from you...AWESOME SCOOT YOU LUCKY BASTARD!

Welcome to the forum!! Great looking scoot you've got there I specially like the paint job

I love that - The things that make life awsome...ENJOY all of them!

Here s my T5 from 1989, wished i still had it, it was sweet

nice rides! I like the seat on the yellow

cheers everyone! i was worried of getting shunned because it's not mega modded etc
thanks a lot guys seriously, i'm loving her to pieces right now. yesterday i tried to justify a reason to ride it other than to work etc, but i figured i don't need one, great fun
certainly beats me shameful old suzuki ap50
don't judge, i was poor and it was all i could afford haha but now i have the real thing!

No judging, some people like to mod em, some like stock, some like ratbikes. We appreciate all types here "The things that make life awesome" Love it!

Blue T5 Trixy is SEXY

u have a nice trixy trick there have fun and ride safe

there was a production line fault on the mark 1 t5 Eric they forgot to spray under the frame so in most european countrys alot of these t5,s rusted very badly around the shock mount and floor , countrys like Italy and spain have better climates ( not so much rain ) so there is plenty left there . in spain they had a t5 mark 1 ( sqaure headlight ) called a tx 200 thats a t5 with a px200 motor . just thought you might be interested to know this .

classic i got last month its not very well

and my pride and joy

what a beaut. i'd kill for that seat

does the T5 have an electric start? i've been annoyed at my p200e's lack of starting ability. i was told to let the bike idle after riding to let the fuel run out before letting it sit for a bit. is that y it's so hard to start up?

Might as well add mine

Could be. A good way to turn it off is pull up, switch off the petcock, and let it run a bit to minimize flooding of the carb after you kill the engine.

...and mine

very nice !
