Modern Vespa

Done deal ?

I get strong "Shriner parade" vibes off it.

I would buy it just to have an excuse to wear a fez.

Wearing a fez needs no excuse.

...and somwhere an Oddfellow smiles.

I like it.

but that TV has all of the really hard to get desirable accessories, if they are originals. only the glove box looks repop, but even that could be OG, but unlike the vespa much of the repop lambretta stuff is really good so hard to tell.

if it was OG you could sell off the accessories for almost the price of the bike.

Super on the edge of deal territory:

And it looks like a guy who knows what he's doing.

Missing the turn signals - if you want it in stock form.

But has title!

These days that's a bonus.

Helping a friend find a new home for this

4T Bajaj - Free in San Francisco

The Good:
Ran when parked ~10 years ago.
Stored in a garage

The Bad:
was not put on non-op, working on finding out the back fees. may just be worth the parts as a result. Or maybe send to out of state to avoid the fees.
edit: back fees look to be $785.

Pictures and other details to come

Don't really think this is DOD, but it's not horrible.

And if this was closer, I would look into this as a long term project.

That's definitely not a DOTD for Nashville. That guy has listed bikes before, I think, and I pinged him about one and he never even responded.

nope

that's not a terrible price but probably needs to go down a few hundred. show up with $2200. It's not a guy with attention to detail, or the simple stuff like stand boots would be sorted out already.

Seemingly clean Long Island Stella for $850.

A twofer,

I still a bit curious about this wide frame. For Mr. Gick, it would probably be relatively easy compared to my limited skills. It still would be cool project. Or a money pit.

If were close I would have bought it. But I'd get a tetanus booster before working on it. It just screams patina.

written this way, it always makes me think about my grandfather, great grandfather, and great great grandfather-Orville, Fredrick, and Conradt; respectively.

While $500 seems like a screaming deal. . . it is not. it's not if you plan to build this into a bike. it may be a deal if you are looking for those specific parts for a build. You are better off finding a complete and straight bike for 1.5-2K and building it then you are buying this one for $500.00. you would be assholes deep into sourcing and paying for parts; it would be outrageous.

That's what is keeping me away from it.

Agreed. I wouldn't pick it up for free. Maybe if it was the last one on earth. Maybe.

I checked locally and I know the guy who sold that bike to the seller. It was non-running when he let it go for an even grand. Dude got it running, possibly a full rebuild, but that looks like about it. Total flip.

Like what Gick said, it wouldn't be worth it as a project....but if you lived in a dry climate and wanted to simply have the scooter outside as lawn art, then the price on that $500 rust bucket doesn't seem so bad.

Here's a kinda better one:

I know the owner of that bike. He likes to buy and sell, and prices a lot more reasonably as a result. I think I welded a broken engine side cowl pin back on that bike for him.

China blue p=my weakness! if someone wants the red one I will go halfsies!

The blue one is gorgeous! Almost worth buying both just for it!

Someone's getting a beautiful deal here

Damn - I'd love to get that back on the road!

Maybe? Seems a touch higher to me, but let the jury decide:
