It says 1968 but it's a 1966. Or someone's changed the tail light. Looks like a solid scoot.

Mickey Mouse tail light are the earlier models? Tractor style light was the US models?

I can never get them straight.

Mickey Mouse tail light on 1966 US model only (and Allstates). The tractor sytle was on some later models transitioning to the Rally.

Great looking scoot. I almost did a double take when I saw it because it looks almost exactly like the one I picked up last week. Someone will be happy with that 68' or 66' whatever it is.

Surely a road trip could be managed to get such a beauty. You never know, maybe some of us could take it on legs of the journey. Give it a story.

Damn that's tempting and it's actually in state. Can't quite justify the cash and garage space right now though.

Its a 66 - somewhere along the way it got titled as a 68 - It was probably a deal where the year it first sold was 68 so thats what ended up on the title. however - the numbers come back as a 66.

rad!! I wanna see that scoot out and around the Bay Area..It looks just like our GS did when we got it from Utah..had it shipped out here by DAS. door to door no issues..

would be awesome to see our two scoots together.

does yours come with rear crash bars? looks like we have the same piece on the end of the scoot where the bars hook in to.

congrats!!!

Thanks for all the comments on the purchase - the best term is definately stoked! I have been on the SS kick lately, was about to bug a friend to sell me hers, but this one is a much better find. Ill post up some pics once it arrives - we are working the shipping details now and hope to have it out this way asap. The seller is really a cool guy and we worked a deal that he will handle the shipping set up on his end - so that helped me out a ton! now comess the waiting game....

I had started on this deal when I saw it post on scoot.net then just happend to run across this thread as well when i was reading some other threads - but i will say thanks anyhow - you have posted up on other bikes as well - so it is good to have someone out there that can centralize some good sales onto one site -

NICE GS! - that will be my next venture - I will definately have this thing out once I get it out here - I will use a good weekend up to go through it and get it running as it should - just a minor tuneup is needed after talking with the guy. We have some rallys coming up so I will either take it to one of them or I will head out to a VCLG sunday ride - which i never ever ever attend.

I am going to try to attend that - my work is holding a bbq that day - (although i trying to figure out why it was chosen for mid october!) if i do go i would really like to take my 02 PX125 - i did it up with the italian corsa seat, grips, mudflap and tire cover - that and its all white so its got a really cool look - in my book at least - maybe ill post another - played with all my toys today thread - like i did last year since i changed (upgraded) a few bikes this year.

Never realized how much these go for
When I was given my 74 Rally 200 basket case I never realized how much these scooters go for! I have about a grand and a half into it restoring, and just about everything is new cept the body and forks.
I think Im going to like owning a scooter, if I can convince my 2 harleys to give up some garage space..
