Modern Vespa

for 10 grand that scooter better paint my house.



shiiiiit

The guy selling it is not the guy that was shady in the original sale. Granted most people know what this seller paid for it at this point - this is why he advertised it as trade -but if someone pushed the need to buy it, there is the price he would sell it for.

+1

For that money it'd better blow me every morning when I wake up...

We have four now.

somebody please buy this quick & remove the temptation



(I'll take that lil red one, finders fee, please )

this guy should list his wife and keep the vespas.

killer deal.

my wife would say I can't have 2 Yellow scooters... (i do regret that spur of the moment choice, but c'est la vie)

Super in LA - found in 1977 Time Capsule. If you like orginal Super's and Live in O.C --This is a Buy it Now -

That do look good... I'm curious to see where the price ends up (wish I was in LA... I'd take a look for sure)
Does anyone know if that'd be a stock color back then? and what the color would be called?

Oh I just re visited ebay and it's a "buy it now"... looks good f'in auction hunters... I dream of that stuff... I guess I'll never know unless I go try one...

i think that is a stock color. there was a girl in dallas with a super that same color, which she named "the mustard asshole".

sold for $1500

i would have paid $3k if i could

Somebody scored pretty good.

Cool bike! Love the mickey mouse tail light. At $1300 it wouldn't be a bad deal, but the reserve is higher apparently.

Now there is a bike I'd pay $1500 for without a title. Would need to see better pics of the floorboard and underside though.

Vintage 1955 Vespa GS 150 - $750 (macon ga )

Date: 2012-04-13, 4:55PM EDT

Not a GS!

This is a 55' GS.

Came across a mostly original '77 Rally 200 - not that bad of a deal right now at $1035 with no reserve and less than a day to go on the auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977-Vintage-Vespa-Rally-200-VSE-Original-Condition-Complete-Running-Piaggio-/270948281677

I was on scoot net before it didn't sell for some reason.

He made a point it was Femsa when it was clearly not.
I'd value it at $2500. Be interesting to see what it goes for. North of that I'd guess

^^^Agree on what it'll go for, it's a pretty decent survivor and remarkably similar to the '76 I got in March. Same color even & a little more complete. Disconnected Autolube though - UGHH! any other fiddling by PO?

This one came on the market shortly after I got mine, so I've been keeping an eye on it. It originally listed here for $3250 before going on the block at eBay.

It obviously has a Ducati setup or something else other than stock(assuming no radical change from December '76(mine) to '77, as original would be mounted to the frame. I'm confused about the FEMSA reference, though.

I reread all of his sales copy and found NO mention of FEMSA from him. maybe I missed it... In fact I found the seller remarkably forthcoming in his description and his inclusion of the sort of detail we usually have to ask about. Sure you weren't thinking of one of the other Rallys on scootnet?

This is the ultimate Vespa cruiser, the last of the vintage style scoots before the plastic crept in 9starting with the horn cast). yes, technically there is a 1978 model, but it is a transition model, most with the P engine. Not bad, just not all-Rally.


The transition model he refers to, with the p200 style engine, appears to be what he has. The "all Rally" engine would have a 6 bolt/6 volt flywheel and stator with Femsa ignition. His seems to have the later rivited, 12 volt flywheel/ stator with ducati cdi. Not a big deal really. He just seems to be confused about what he has.

True, he's not sure of everything, even says " I will update this if I find anything else that is not original, but it is possible I will miss some item.", but he said nothing about FEMSA. That's all I was saying. I don't think he's trying to put something over here.

PO probably fried the FEMSAtronic & did the easy & common thing, put on a P flywheel, stator & CDI - maybe when he ripped out the autolube. But I disagree that it's not original Rally engine; his fly cover, cylinder cover & kickstart are EXACTLY like mine, but different from this- flywheel here's the same as his:

P200 motor



You DO make a good point though, If I were bidding on this, I'd ask & make SURE what motor that is & if it's original to the scoot. 6V or 12V? We're both making assumptions.

I think it just went for 2475... you were damn close.

What do you think. I'm a hour and a half away?
I called today and it's got some floor rust but it's engine has everything. I'm just wondering if the rotor pad is shot or is it just the top end?

I was thinking that looked like an interesting project. 500 cash and see if they take it?

I'd be wary about that front fork. That fender took some serious impact.

Considering that the panels and forks are not that common, you'll have to plunk down some cash. But its still worth $500 unless the frame is garb.

Gatekeeper, did he send you any other pictures?

More pics. after talking to him it seems like a nice parts bike for now but im in no rush to tear into it right now. Im going to try to pick it up tonight. Knowlegeable guy with plenty of old scoots I can check out.Ive never seen a old Vespa besides mine where i live since I was a kid.

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/2991013994.html

my 2 pesos: I think it's worth 5 for parts alone, but you could no doubt make a nice bike with it. Viva la burrito rojo!

hell yeah thats a deal. i'd have bought it if I was still up North.

Brian, let me know if you need parts for it when you do the teardown.

sick gl. tho it needs a bit of work. someone posted a gl200, my dream bike on the east coast like 2 months after i bought my p200 project and ive regretted not buying it since.

Is saw my first old Vespa tonight. Not to shabby.

Yeah not shabby AT ALL... Hey what's the green one in the BG ?
Nice on the new one!!!

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/3004311840.html

Not bad!

Here is a visual for the Mustard Asshole (with Rocio and Vic Fletchall).

He had a bunch of scoots. I think the green one was a gl?

In the Charleston SC area...
