I shouldn't look either, good thing he's not too close and I already have something similar or I would be sorely tempted. Hard to say exactly what's going on w/ the motor, seller says this:
"SI Carburetor injection upgrade Pinasco 177CC Cylinder kit Pinasco Flytech electronic ignition kit VLA/VBB High End performance Kit I had a licensed professional install everything. $1500 was the cost to do all of this." Other than the Pinasco, I'm not sure what to think. Regardless, here's a couple more pics for posterity before somebody snatches the scoot & the links disappear. Doesn't look like it's ever been seriously dumped or crashed, wonder if he's still got the floor rails. ![]() roundtail w/ minty original lite ![]() ![]() ![]() |

But the patina lovers will be interested, this thing really is quite stunning! https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/mcy/d/rustic-1964-vespa-paggio/6636166889.html |

Not sure, but don't you need the "SI Carburetor injection upgrade"" to take full advantage?

If the rust on the floorboards is just surface, this 100 sport smallier is a DoTD for Chicago.

Without looking at the ad, Big Red there appears to have hung out near the hostess stand at an UpInDaNorthWoods-type Bar and Grill. Along with all the other cute vintage tsotchkies. Probably has a lil' ketchup and burger grease smeared on the handgrips. Think there's anything inside? Let us know, will ya?

I've thought about getting into the smallframe game, just to see how crazy a motor I could build up in one of them.
I also want to do a cosmetic restoration, too, and that bike is too pristine for that. |

Dear People,
Please stop buying, well ordering -you can't even get them, these monkeys and cubs unless you already have a smallie. For that money or less you can get a killer smallie that's even more 'fun' than Honda stuff because you get to care for it like one of those virtual pets, but for real. You'll learn many interesting Italian mechanical principles that could be useful later in life that you just can't get from Japan. Plus you'll be supporting the community and not a megaCorp and all your scooter friends will approve. Ok, they'd oooh & aaah the monkey/cub for a while but how long before you are being subtly shunned? Rides they 'forgot' to tell you about? But if you already have one smallie or more, go ahead & indulge yourself, they do look pretty cool & Honda = practical. You'll still have your smallie to fall back on when the glow wears off & you miss the 2T smell. AND something to go get parts for your smallie on. Thank you for your consideration, V oodoo

Inside of the legshield and the floor were not striped. And if you want the wizard and unicorn theme, the unicorn needs to have a rainbow shooting out of either the butt or nostrils (all three would be overkill, in my opinion). |

Hi,
I'm using SearchTempest to help me find a used modern Vespa, but thought I'd toss promising vintage CL listings see along the way here. Is that OK? Anyway, here's today's find: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/d/1965-vespa-sprint-complete/6656507575.html ![]() |
