Modern Vespa

I'd have a hard time passing too. Score.

yo, solid fucking deal on that scoot, f'real.

worst case, i've got a friend likely heading out to PTown, I'll send her your way to take it off your hands.

Nice doc! What is it... Sprint? Super? Hard to tell from pics.

nice!!!! glad somebody jumped on that. enjoy it, i'll be watching for it around town!

Thanks folks.. no challenge with this one, it's a sprint btw

If I wasn't caught up in another sixties vespa project right now, this would be the one.

Somebody on here please go get that thing.

damn, that's a nice looking bike.

damn, it is! but it is also all the way across the country in New Hampshire

Is that kickstarter a P2 type?

No, it is not.

if that's for reals somebody should jump on it. good deal on a complete bike.

Real and sold already - I think it sold inside of an hour or so. It was on Vintage Scooter Classifieds in Austin Texas also (re-posted from craigslist).

Bajaj Classic SL - $800 (philly NYE)


http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/5333613117.html

NOT in Philly and this is a strange Bajaj, I don't think I've ever seen a Chetak with Super style cowls but a 4t chetak front end. Guy posts it as a 2t, and I'm assuming he knows enough to check.

I was just talking to Nickkpak about this, Chetak's are weird. There's not a ton of info on them besides a 4t forum I'm assuming is now shut. They had what, 3 interations? A vespa150/VBB style, a super style, then much later the PX-derivative 4t.

Either way, a grand is a good price on either a Stella or a modern Bajaj. I'd go to town on a Super style bajaj doe.

Small frame in Chicago. http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=55004

I dropped the seller an email after SoCalGuy PM'ed me about it to drag me out of hiding .

Haven't heard back yet, though.

Okay SD, someone hop on this. A reasonable asking price now for this scoot. If I wish I had room in my garage.

Question: I found a Vespa I would like to buy- this is from what I have researched a good first Vespa to own.
I am currently rebuilding a farm find (1959 VNA)- never had any experience building, body work, engine, paint, etc..
But I digress-
I would like to know: does this look like an authentic 1966 VBC Sprint?
[url]http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/5343445705.html

It is not currently running-

I have already spoken to the owner, and he has a clear title! Yay!!
I am waiting to hear from him about the VIN- if it is a genuine VBC. If it is a bodge, I am assuming the title would just have numbers and not letters for the VIN?

Thanks for your help![/url]

Hi all,
Apparently you cannot see my question for the above photo of the Vespa.
I am currently building a 1959 Vespa, and want a Vespa to ride now- yes- the bug has bitten me!


This bike is not currently running, but did last year- I don't mind an easy fix (tune up)- just want something to ride- have found a lot of fake Vespas on line- and I really would like an original.
The 125's I have seen are a little too slow for me to drive here in Crazy LA- that is why I am looking at a 150.

So, with all of that being said, do you think the above bike looks like a real VBC? I have done quite a bit of research- this one has a sprint badge on the front, missing the one on the back ( which some had)
But I just want to make sure this is real.

I read the forum on how to spot a fake- but as there are plenty of fakes on the internet it is next to impossible to find what an authentic 1966 VBC looked like after it rolled off the show room floor.

I am nervous, because this is my first buy, and have wanted a Vespa ever since I could remember.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from you- sorry I don't sound very eloquent in this message- I just am really excited about my first rideable Vespa!

Welcome to MV. Start a different post about opinions on that scoot please. We don't want this thread to get off topic. I'll give you my 2c. if you seriously start another post.

Okay- I made a new post- new to posting on forums- please forgive my ignorance!

1980 Vespa P125x $800

Posted this in another forum. Looks like a good deal but I've been bitten my the scooter bug recently so it may not be. It runs and has a clean and clear title. Emailed the guy and he responded. Might venture up to Baltimore to check it out.

Missing title. Unless you want it for parts.

Unless that part is a cylinder shroud.

Isn't that what Vermont is for? I think of their vehicle registration system as being like a money laundry for vehicle titles.

I've heard of Vermont's vehicle registration laws. Have you successfully registered a vehicle in Vermont without a title?

yeah. this discussion has been had. i've registerred several bikes through vermont and transferred registration into getting a title for a bike that never had one through this method.

I need to reg a bike and need to go through the Vermont route. Is it as easy as it sounds? What about bill of sale from prev owner if no title? Thanks!

different thread bro. but its real easy. call vermont on monday, they'll tell you to fill out form 119 and mail in a check. youll have plates in a couple weeks. its that simple.

Definitely not a deal. That bike has been for sale for years.

looks very rusty in important
places

Legit. I just rode a VBB for the first time out in Chicago it was a smooth little ride and would love to pick one up but I'm not spending anything more than 800 on one. This isn't sold yet? I posted this on a friend of mines wall like a month ago. Get on it Chitown.

I emailed the owner at the time and he never responded. If he had, it'd either be mine or I'd have reported back on what was wrong with it.

There was a guy on Facebook selling a 62 Lammy Li 125 here in Chicago.

Don't know if it's a deal if it's $4500 but still looks good. But not sure since it's a Lambretta.
