Maybe I have an overly suspicious mind, but why would someone change tires in the first 200 miles? It seems like an aficionado who was concerned enough to put different tires on a brand new scoot would ride it more than 200 miles. Odd.

Probably for the same reason someone without a vintage scooter would spend most their time on a vintage board. Because it's a free country.

Bikes that need tires or are non runners can be a tough sell. The original tires probably have dry rot so he changed them out to make it rideable.

Someone looking for a concourse bike wants EVERYTHING original..it's pretty smart of him to include the original tires.

When I show my restored SS 180 and the tires are low...I find a fat Italian grandma with strong lips so I have the correct air in them!

That Super is a terrific find. We would buy it ourselves, if it were closer.

If there's anyone in that area who knows anyone thinking of getting a vintage scooter, point him or her in the direction of that bike. Very low original mileage scooters are getting harder and harder to find.

That bike is located in Columbus, Indiana. It would probably got for $2200 cash. If anyone wants it, it can be stored at my shop in Indy.

Same scoot perhaps, but with the 'Trumpet Exhaust' option?

If it is, they changed the flywheel, kickstart quadrant, kickstart, and swapped the 10" hub foran 8". Looks like VBB to me, judging from the single pic.

Thats a neat scoot.... But at 4 bucks a gallon, it would take 1,000 bucks to get it to so-cal, then there's out of state CHP inspection.

Pain.

Beautiful! I'm restoring the same model and year, but the badge on the legshield on mine just says "Vespa" not "Vespa 150" like on that one. Anyone know about that? (And yes, mine is original with the original rivets, etc.).
