Modern Vespa

Not really deal of the day here, but reasonable and this thing looks practically NEW with only 1500 miles. I've seen worse for nearly twice the money. Lots of thrilling extras here as well, so obviously well loved!

that's a deal voodoo

that's not a bad deal. you could probably sell all that tat that's on there for a few bones.

not a fan of the spray job action on the front wheel, could be hiding some nasty.

but if it's got tags and a title, starts and runs that's not a bad jumping in point.

OK the rack, maybe the muddy & cowl guards but I doubt the footrest & seat...

Anyways the real hidden gem here is this rare headset cover for those who have always admired the stylishly advanced Honda Aero.

Local... To me at least!

That'll buff right out...

$40 seems about right!

First sensible priced scoot I've seen for a while. Sold already.

Yup, I bought it. $40. Can't go wrong.

Anyone have a light, seat or other bits?

Thinking this....

omg. I love it.

The DASMI seat. Those cowl bars are kind of a pain, but the center footrest is great, and it projects out enough to catch the bike if it falls.

Vinyl Fetish on Melrose had this half vespa for years.

Seems a shame to cut it up. It's restorable. Cut a Vietnamese bodge in half instead why don'tcha?

Yeah, looking at it, unless the frame is seriously rotten, it'd probably clean up pretty nicely.

Straight.

That is sweet!

One from Uk.

I'd buy that Allstate for 1K all day long.

(are we allowed to talk about the stuff in the background too?)

Very nice.

sprint looks solid and that's not bad at 3K tbh

For under a grand you could look like you are riding a real Bodge.

Abomination, kill it with 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you're able to ride it, it's not a *real* bodge.

If I got it I'd throw a couple of glove boxes on there. I wonder if a Rally's would fit ? And I do have those yellow boots...... Shit, maybe even bolt another headlight on the mudguard.

You can never have too many gloveboxes.

Did someone say "Rally Glovebox"?

rumor has it if you say it three times one will appear...

that reminds me... I need to talk with Mr. Owens again about that....

I'll send some scouts out to Kajiit house of chrome and whatnots. stand by for a report...

Does anyone have eyes on this one?
I have tried to contact the seller but haven't received a response.

Is that chrome on the bottom of the horncast and mudguard or is it just my failing eyesight and shitty computer monitor.

Some kind of shiny stuff, looks like chrome trim.

LML motor eh? Could be a good deal but I wonder about the tire size in back, if it's 8" like the front then what about the gearing? I'll bet the motor is still 10" though. Nice looking bike for a not crazy price.

I don't really care about the LML motor. I'd yank it and put my VLB cases with a VMC 177 in it.

I just want that paint.

Yeah, me TOO! My AllState looks like a bum. Go have a look and snap that thing up if it checks out. Sell that motor for good money, you can NOT get them cheap & easy any more - they are now over a grand if you can even find one.

To your question, could be small door edge trim?

That's what I was thinking.

2nd-ed, 3rd'ed? on the door trim. the seats are indo butt

the tires looks suspect... like from overseas... I'd want to inspect in person.

also, on the lower left of the leg shield is that rust showing thru? I'd ask for somebody local to take a peek or some pics before I made the haul up that way.

Let's all get a good look before it's gone and no way to see. I'm encouraged by the nice leggy trim NOT shined up but a few honest nicks, looks like should be original. The grips and tail light look old too, also hopefully original. The body is almost TOO good, maybe an OCD owner? Spare tire cover concerns me slightly... Speedometer sits too high, likely that's not original.

didn't notice it, but it's got the door trim on the cowl too. and that speedo.

probably just a victim of crappy replacement parts. but the tires are the one that gets me the most. you can't find those here and nobody orders them...
