hi

i've plan my hollidays with many vespa rides, corsica south of france, vulcan scooter secte meeting... for the moment on my GT200L

but i'm now thinking, maybe i'll enjoy it more with a px200...
i've got the engine, i can fit it in a clear body (px200) with new bitubo front suspension for more or less 1000e all included

as i'll do most of the long way with a vwT4, i don't care about the speed limit of the px, i'll do country rides...
& i love & miss the gears, the 2strokes engine, its smell not for commuting, but for shorts rides...

what do you think about?

Sounds cool, keep us posted for sure. I know personally (just my opinion), I would pick the PX if it was an option... Good luck!

Sounds fun as hell, and I think the PX would be more fun(of course, I'm a bit biased), but only 2 weekends to put an engine in a frame? Can you do it without problems?

dreamer...
happy to read that you think like me about one more scoot!
It makes me feel less crazy!
Maybe the fact that this one is a "vintage" & has gear is a good point for justifying it to my girlfriend! Even if it's "more dangerous", less brake etc... it's for a pleasure rides

to answer you:
first i work 4days per week, so a week end is 3 full days! lucky me!
second, i'll do it with a bro that is an expert on the px,
it makes, 3 days X 2 week end X 2 guys = 12 days
the engine is lock i've got to unplug it, & plug mine, plus goodies that i already have from my last px, it's doable for shure!

the initial plan was to put this engine in an old frame,
but an old frame in good condition with paper is too expensive
& it makes 2years that the engine wait for a frame, too long!
so why not an original px 200 frame
+ a px 200 engine = stock scooter!
i'm not a stock fan, but many MVers will like this idea

i have to stop dreaming on it & close my job
i'll see it tonight, & if it's ok,
i'll bring it back tomorow (not working)
& begin the project asap,
i've also the option of night work if i'm in hurry...
i'll post pics

i love px, i miss px!
@ dfndr:
you should click on the option to switch my avatar off!
personaly i love it! & won't change it for you, sorry

judy: i also used to have a px on the other side, when i had a motorbike.
I used it to commute & my motorbike for rides & fun...
i sold both to buy my vespa GT with a wvT4 multivan

Today, it's quite a return to my roots, 2stroke engine, smell & noise special about the px... i love it, & more i miss it! it's just strange for me to own tow vespas, even if it's about tow really different scooters
I'll have the GT to comute & the PX to ride for the fun

About the px: i saw it tonight, & i changed the deal!
it's a crapy one, to many hours of work to fit it like i want it to be!
Better, i sell him my engine tomorow for a quite good price,
that allow me to buy a px200 already ok with few things to regulate to have it on my way before the hollidays

I've found a black px200, where i'll put a race front fender, a light "cap", some crashbars, some white turn signal, a chequered mudflap, a front rack, and some other goodies that will make this px my own!

i'll show you
regards
