Killer deal...

No kidding. Someone want to pick that up for me? I'll start looking for tickets now and ride that bitch back

Dont like the look but cheap price..

Yeah what's with all the stickers and decals hiding the simple lines of that bike?

from the color scheme i'm guessing,hhmmmmm maybe canadian

there has got to be a simple, cheap way to take care of the nasty color of that bike.....if only I knew what it was...

Oh I'd clean that sucker up if I could get my mitts on it

you could get that bike shipped from door to door fo around $200.
I bet you could get this for a total w/ shipping for $2200

Hm, seller is willing to ship, but I can't find any rates for under ~400. Also, how do people ensure a safe financial transaction on something like this?

And $40 so you you can MATTE BLACK THE MOFO!

wow what a colour and so many stickers but i like the sticker in the tank fuel its a sign

The sticker on the fuel tank rocks, love it. Going to have the wife check her lab and see if they have any. Can send you one if they do.

that will be awesome

Thats right down the way from me. I can take a look if anyone is interested.

Best part about rattle can black? It covers up ugly stickers.

Certified bank check. Have them send you the title first, Thats what I just did from Ohio.
Here is the shipper I used.

Christos have you been robbing emotes

Who Sir? me Sir, no Sir, Not me Sir.

I've been looking at this for my first scooter. It's really pretty ugly, but I have a friend that does bodywork. I'm wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate on how much I might need to invest if I wanted to completely restore it. I have no idea what I would be getting myself into and I'm not going to have the cash to toy with the idea until fall. However, it would give me something to ride for the rest of summer, seeing as how I just totaled my car.

I only have limited funds until fall so I'm deciding between this and maybe a newer LX150 or something cheap

From my understanding corresponding with the owner, it doesn't need body work. In fact, that is original paint. I would not touch that. Just take the stupid add-on stripes off and you've got a very valuable bike. Unless you have to, getting rid of the original paint will devalue the scoot!

Didn't realize those stripes were stickers. I still wanted a blue one :\. But I guess if the original condition was in good shape it would save me money I'd put into it.

Has anyone checked this thing out? I'd have to drive quite a bit to go see it.

I THINK they are stickers. The seller did tell me the paint underneath is the original paint. It doesn't look like you'd need to do much to ride it daily... in fact I think what it needs to run well is to be ridden daily! Keeps the guts from gumming up. I think Eric knows more about it, but the seller seems nice, so I wouldn't hesitate to drop them a line as well.

If your looking for the best scoot Vespa ever made Buy it IMHO. But know this. You need to wrench these things a little. Try to find out what was rebuit and what is original. Get back to us after you find out. We can tell you more with more info.ask for more pix and post them here. People here know there stuff and are more then happy to help.
It says carb. cleaning if that's all It needs sounds like a good deal.
I must agree with some here, those stickers cheapen the scoot.
If your looking for a great reliable old first scoot try to find a P200 they are around for sale everywhere and parts are plentiful. They are not as sexxy as the Rally but they are the Vespa work horse. Best...Brian
