Modern Vespa

Someone buy this now. I cant drive for six hours to pick it up so it whoever gets it first.

Someone, please. Don't let it get away.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/551832216968510/?mibextid=dXMIcH

I don't know that this is quite a proper DOTD without further inspection at $1,200, but if anyone is interested, I'm happy to go check it out and facilitate the transaction.

I'd say both of those P's are DOD. at 400 unless the cases are verkakte that's a can't miss. the blue one looks like the cowls were repainted, but appears to otherwise be solid and unmolested piece. maybe kick more toward 1 because of the no title.

Has promise

if that was closer to LA I'd be on that like white on rice in a snowstorm.

I'm on it.

That looks like a killer deal in a a killer color.

This will probably go quick but $1k P200

^^ clean ride, worth a look if you are looking for a smaller P.

It's raining Ps!

Wait. That doesn't sound right.

Not a bad price for a Sprint V with title. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/540681281160334/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A81d5d5ee-2f36-4835-b09b-53610c57af74

Anyone looking for a Lamb Bretta ?
Dirt cheap…

Especially since it comes with the turn signals (if you're into that sort of thing).

there's no such thing as a cheap lambretta.

is there anybody within striking distance that might be able to look at this for me? or anybody know the bike or the seller?

I think it's in the worst possible location to get someone to check it out. Knoxville is about 3 hours away from everyone on here I know of, including me.

you definitely need more bikes

Of course he does, cause it's a VeloCHaaaa

Sorry, 4 to 5 hours from me, no can do.

it is a cool bike. I'd be happy to buy something else cheap from greasy to help fund it

As is I will be up there in a few weeks spending hundreds on a replacement engine and some parts for that ET4 he just sold me. Maybe we can stuff more in the back of the minivan.

just think of the road trip? think of being an enabler? pretty please? with sugar bourbon on top?

all kidding aside, that's a big ask because I'd then be 1- committed to buying it and B- ask you to store it until Denver James came and scooped it up...

hey! hey! they say that goldfish grow to the size of their environs so I'm just following nature in trying to fill all my space with bikes!

I am fully 100% on board with this course of action.

I talked to this guy, he's selling it for a friend who got it at an estate sale. Someone's offered 1800 for it but hasnt picked it up yet.

Stockton $325

Bajaj 4T

HARD PASS

Always forget they tried a four stroke. Never mind.

Metal bodied 4t's are a scourge on Scooterdom.

In agreement on the Blah Ha J


....buuuut with a little bit of work the huge glove box and cowls can be made to fit a P series!

Now this would be worth doing an electrical conversion to rather than 2t Vespa.

That's an interesting idea.

Was the 4t Bajaj a true metal-frame or was it a tubular frame with panels on it like the 4t Stella?

no tube frame, all pressed steel.

Well, It bothers me to see these nice old scoots being converted over. But I can understand if you live in an area like London, Paris, etc... Meanwhile, this isn't a lot of coin thrown into a frame for an electric start up, if it's a scooter look you are going for.

4T Bajaj's are terrible: parts are not available so if something breaks (like a fuel petcock) you're kind of screwed.

I would buy it just for the glovebox and anti-dive fork…

the glove box is epic

kajiit has those things... some parts DOTD might be popping up... along with the rest of the body...

DOTD? Possibly.

Piaggio Ape
https://scootnet2.net/index.php?do=showone&id=1167

This is the one a couple blocks from me that I met the owner and helped get it running again last summer. It only needed a carb clean and new fuel lines. My thread here: 1984 Piaggio Ape P 501 Service and Repair!

Passenger door needs bending on the hinge to get it to stay closed. Dash wiring needs a little work. Control cables could be replaced. Other than that, it runs fine!

The owner offered it to me first, and I would absolutely love to own this, but I just can't afford it, nor do I even remotely have the space to store this thing! I'm sure I'm passing up on the only chance I'll ever get at owning an Ape, but it's not in my cards. Someone else on here would probably treat this thing the way it should be.
