Modern Vespa

What is the exhaust on that scooter?

I disagree - consider it this way.... Can you buy a P200 engine for $700? Even if you part it out you win.

As long as it was not on the road there is no need to pay back registration in California for vintage bikes. Bill of sale is fine as long as the seller in in California too, but it will need a visit to the CHP for inspection before the process is complete. $700 p200e would be worth looking at.

I really thought this was going to be my deal of the day until i went there and discovered that the 'engine that spins freely' is really 'engine that is locked up so tight a gorilla couldn't turn it.

Looks like its been parked indoors since 1968. super straight and hardly any rust.

sad. https://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/mcy/6066640746.html

Damnit...I've been looking for a project sprint for so long I'd pretty much given up on it, and when one finally pops up, I'm not watching for it.

but only $500 and claimed to be complete https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/6073303342.html





It's even close by & no rot, I could so buy this! Paging self control...
But I could go check it out for somebody else who's seriously interested.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

This goes in to the "wife would kill me" category

it might be worth it

Do you have the means to maintain a second home? If so then you could set this scooter up there and visit any time without the wife knowing.

File this under "Tips and Tricks"

I could hide it in the crawlspace but, it would have to come out eventually. It won't fit in the safe with my other "all look the same" toys.

You could use the "I bought it for you honey" or "I'm holding it for a friend" excuse..

"I bought it for you honey" or "I'm holding it for a friend" are both all used up here




How about this? We create a true scenario that can drop this beauty on you painlessly with respect to wifey and with no need to resort to total falsehoods or expensive second homes. I will go get it & will hold a raffle. I will sell tickets for $500 cash then declare raffle closed when the first ticket is sold.



"Honey, I won an old Vespa! " What could go wrong?


Somebody step up, this kinda bike for this money isn't gonna happen again soon.

I'm picking this up today. Looks like there is a lot missing, i.e. floor rails. Should I just go throw my money in the Sound instead?

Seems like a good deal... maybe throw your money at Bertha.. I hear it likes money

I like it.. raffle bike angle

park it at my house!

Congratulations, I think you got a great project and I'm glad someone here got it so we can see what happens. Now that you have it, how about a few more pics and some specifics?

Hope to see a post once you get it. Or maybe (if not too ambitious) get to see it ridden at Amerivespa.

Sure, I'll make a post in the NSM section next week.

Awesome, that will be a great project to watch.

does this qualify? man, i want this thing if the description is legit:

oh, yes!

https://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/6077324570.html

$800 P200E for those who don't mind rebuilding a motor.

I'd probably jump all over this if I hadn't bought that Stella motor yesterday.

Another Denver DOTD. $700 1959 VBA, All original including OG Paint, ready for resto.

I so want this one.

Sweet!

mind grabbing me the GL while you're in the area?

mostly looking at smallies for the wife, but this one sings to me... can't be that bad an idea for first scoot, can it?

Great bike and needs pics, they disappear when ad goes down after somebody grabs it and I hope it's somebody here. I don't think this one will last.

There is a 2010 Piaggio Fly non-running in Ft Lauderdale, for $100 bucks!

Not really this groups speed, but someone should grab it for a beater.

Its on this group:

By no means a deal but a cool small frame for sale.

Vespa old school P200E - $2500 (Liverpool NY)

https://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/6091158346.html

Under 4000 original miles
In storage 20 years
Engine just rebuilt
Runs perfect and very depenable.
New battery and tires.
Inspected and ready to go.
Top speed of 80.
Around 90 mile a gallon.
4 speed Transmission.



Not sure I would consider it a "Deal of the Day", but if it truly has a rebuilt engine it's worth the coin. Would love to see it do 80 mph, or get 90 mpg... but hey, what's a little exaggeration between friends?

.. and one more

1963 Vespa - $1900 (NASHUA NH)

https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/6091623520.html

Can deliver after purchase.
Will be sold with bill of sale

Runs and drives well. All original unrestored nor molested.


Beautiful show piece or put new tires on and ride around as is.


... it's an Allstate, no real details, but figured someone might be interested in something that looks original.

A sightly entertaining post. If the engine is indeed a brand new LML I suppose it's worth the price.

I like the looks of this Bajaj. Price may not be the best given that it is Bajaj, but overall a nice, clean bike. It's basically a Sprint, am I right?

https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/mcy/6087474368.html



$1750

Nice US Bike. Curve tail frame with super cowls on 10 inch wheels. It seems Bajaj used the same frame press from the early sixties and changed the cowls, headset, and wheel size through out the years.

Looks like engine cowl maybe for a Sprint and the other a Super (original) cowl. Super cowls are shorter and a little more curvy.
A US Sprint that I use to own looked the same from the rear. The PO replaced the Glovebox cowl (and everything else) with Indian parts. The cowl was for a Sprint/Bajaj but actually a Super Cowl. At first I thought it just needed an adjustment until I found out and it bugged me until it was gone.

Looks like the same one mentioned in this thread a few yrs ago (scroll down):

1980 Bajaj Chetak

Some of the Bajaj have a MASSIVE glove box, but not this one. You can put small children in there.

1958 Vespa - $3800 (York ,PA)

https://york.craigslist.org/mcy/6077060435.html

I believe this is from the same man who sold me his 1980 P200E (photo in my profile). While I'm no expert (by a long shot), I believe this is legit. It probably had some weird mods done to it but I bet it's been kept in his garage for several recent years.

Um, no...
