Modern Vespa

Here he is. (or will be once I get the email-photo thing to work).

Sweet, it worked. That's a graphite black 2009 LX 150 with a faco rear rack and a faco midsize windscreen (both from scooterwest). The top box is a custom job, carbon-fiber reinforced kevlar.

Eventually I'll probably get crash bars and some more mirrors, and probably a stebel nautilus, but right now I'm on hiatus - the wife cut me off after I bought the rear rack without getting permission first.

nice

Yes that's exactly what I thought it was made of too when I saw it, must have cost a mint getting such a custom topcase made.

sweeeet. the top box is quality!

Excellent name!
Count Scootula!

If I ever get a black 300, I'm gonna call it Count Vespula!

Funny Name... great scoot!
Is your grin as big as the windscreen?? When your riding that scoot?
Thanks for the picture, I always love seeing what others ride. I wish more would....

I love the windscreen. I rode it for about 2 weeks before getting it to install, and it's got a really noticeable improvement to quality of ride - I can easily do 55 MPH (indicated) at 3/4 throttle in the flat - that was more or less WOT before, I am not buffeted in the chestal region as I ride. It does, however, redirect most of the air to my forehead or thereabouts - I'm in the process of getting a FF helmet to cut down on wind noise.

It was kinda hard to tell before...but now that I look closely, I can really see that it IS a Carbon Fiber Crate.

Super Cool!

Haha, nice!
