I had a Super and now have a Rally. They are both fine machines in their own right.

Oh please mac... don't start with the how-many-scoots-do-you-own horseshit... Tierney knows I dig our Super, and he knows I dig his Rally, it's a joke. Man, ease up...

Seriously... I was just joking around too... sheesh... anytime I say something that seems pretentious or elitist you can bank on it being an affectation assumed for sheer comedic value. Especially if followed by an "I'm so cool" sunglasses guy...

I'm just gonna go ahead and slink back to my neanderthal cave and nurse my sore butt now

I once had a 74 Super , Mallossi 166 , pipe carb etc.... Would have traded it for a stock Rally . What I'm saying is " you are in for a treat when you get that rally tuned in correctly .

I have. I had a 1970 Rally180 with a P200 in it. Kept it for a few years.

I just prefer 8" scooters over the others. I've never found one I like as much as my Super.

I've never seen the turn signal on the legshield like that, maybe because everybody takes them off, I've always seen the handle bar pods for factory turn signals.

It's so close, yet so far away. I already have to leave my Stella behind when I move to Japan, I don't think my parents will appreciate a second scooter taking up space in the garage.

Rally 200 - $1500
This could be a nice buy, not as nice as the auction one that was discussed here recently, but looks a good project to my poor eyes.

They took the signals off to mount the windshield. Then drilled holes through the legshield.

more than likely a 100 sport or possibly a 50 spesh due to the handle bar switches.

either way, a decent deal at six and change if it's got clean tags/title and no fees.

i'd show with $500 cash and scoop it.

Copy that Antlerdance, I was a bit mistaken when drafting the wording. Not original condition, rather its in restored condition. Have since amended the listing.

But don't get me wrong , very nice scoot . If I owned it that's about what I would ask . It's a shame you're selling it , is that your only scoot ?

Thanks, yes it is my only scooter. However, recently purchased a 1200cc motorcycle and never ride the VBA anymore, so now she just sits in the garage. Hopefully someone else will get to enjoy it as much as I have.

Especially when youv say "true deal of the day". That vbb is more like the going rate if not too high for some. Nice scoot though....good luck.

Not sure if this is a true "deal", since I know nothing about the Cosa model, except it is ugly (in my eyes). The engine has to be worth the asking price, I would think. About two hours from me, but bucks down at the moment.

150 DOLLARS??!? Wrong coast, right color, minty condition and by the speedo I think it's a Cosa II with the aluminum alloy cylinder & lovely single cable shifter.

Well crap

Crying or Very sad emoticon Livid emoticon

I'll give you 150 if you'll just go get it! Quick!
Do it, get it running nice and I'll bet you a dollar that you will come to LOVE it.

The motor alone wouldn't do you much good, the front mount is wider & the rear brake is hydraulic. You could narrow the mount & figure out a master cylinder for the brake & it would be pretty nice though...

And ugly is in the eye of the beholder ya know

Tell me more! I haven't heard of this, I thought the T5 was the only aluminium cylinder they made? Apart from the case/brake/clutch, isn't the rest pretty much stock P?

somebody please jump on that Cosa... You will not be disappoint!

Me? yeah, now I need a T5 if anybody knows of one available in the Northwest that's as nice as this poor stepchild and I'd even pay double three times what the Cosa's going for.

Get it Greasy. Here's the phone number 864 884 5622. & get it there w/ UShip. Popcorn emoticon

Cosa sold early Tuesday morning. I'm sure someone in Greenville, SC area probably got it. I called about an hour after it was listed and had to go to the back of the line. Razz emoticon That's when I put it up here hoping someone on this forum was in front of me.
