Modern Vespa

Trap headset, fender with a mudflap...

The smallie looks okay, but I can't stand when badges are installed incorrectly.

If I had the $, I'd have been there and grabbed that small frame already.

Ok, I know this isn't gonna appeal to many of you, but here's a kitted 2005 Derbi Boulevard with low miles on the top end for 850. Got a windscreen & top case. Might be a good bike for commuting or someone's girlfriend or something.

Let the mockery commence

Since when have certain scooters been too manly for women?

i read something once about how, early on, scooters were marketed to women due to the step-through frame, where women could wear dresses, go shopping/run errands on a vespa. later had a convo with a motorcyclist about the same thing, but he just thought all scooters were emasculate because of the step through frame/history as it related to it.

I dont give a shit about what others think I ride. I ride for myself and I like scooters. they can keep that kind of opinion to themselves.

Solid thinking JJ!

The design was never gender based. It actually was a utilitarian design with 3 wheelers and trucks as well.
After sales began small shops in Italy obviously thought about advertising to increase sales. It just so happens that sex sells and woman look great on these things in ads.

Start from the beginning. War torn Italy had aircraft manufactures that could turn themselves toward peace times. The Vespa from Piaggio was a concept. At one point Harley Davidson was responsible for helping set up machining for this effort.

The whole myth of women and scooters being made for them is nothing more than the mass advertisment that happened.

Again.......sex sells.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The greatest deal ever!

Ever!!

I love the odd/weird rare stuff.

you could tow a mower with that

That thing is probably worth closer to $5,000 or maybe even more if the right old dude with a bunch of cash hoping to forget he is going to die sooner than later.

A guy with a scooter shop around here used to have one similar that he turned into a sno-cone stand for his son to setup shop at rallies.

Hi
I came across this vna motor on eBay someone may be interested in

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=151045101893

It looks ok and was only up to $86
When I checked, whit only hours to go.

from Craig's list;
"Vespa Motorscooter,&Sidecar - $500 (Memphis)

Vespa MotorScooter with sidecar, 1980. Title and parts book included. Needs work, looks great."

snapped it up. now I need to think what to tell my wife. another scooter!

Cool score is it wearing a hat?

re: hat on rally. spare turn signal that does not match the others was sitting in the hole where the speedo is not.
Also, it's a '74 - the owner had looked at the wrong old title.
Haven't decided if I want to get it running and sell or sell something else and rock a hack for a bit...

Except for the missing motor, this '55 looks to be in pretty good shape, supposed to have been imported from Italy in the '70s.
Nice oldie if one happened to have the right motor for it laying around.

Up on eBay for $1,650 buy it now or make an offer.

Casal Carina
I am not sure is really a great deal but surely IS rare. First time I've seen one.

Definitely a rare and unusual scoot. Very nice to look at too. Somebody will score on this one.

1965 Vespa Allstate - $375

Another one that needs a motor, it's got one but it's busted. HERE, on Craigslist.

1981 P125x $800
Portland, Oregon

Needs a new horncast, but I bet that paint would buff out real nice. Would be a quick jump from scooterless to scooterist for some lucky bloke.

I had one of these back in '91

Nostalgia

Too much $$ for a 50cc...
The 80cc will pull wheelies and do about 54mph.

You go girl!

what? are you calling me a girl? how old are you?

I kinda wish I was a girl.

I might get more action.
