Modern Vespa

You'd be surprised at how comfortable those seats are, just like that.

Actually I believe you.. I think my skinny ass would slip through though! looks really cool...

Bikes like that make you not want to not pay the mortgage, just once...

Great quote.

This one has been on here before but guy says he'll take 1050, no back fees, clean title, and extra parts...

Looks like a good deal - the front fender looks banged up a bit, and the autolube looks disconnected, but for that price....

Where's Dr. O! He's either got one... or two, or he's on his way!

That is a lovely little machine too bad I need to run on the highway always

NO TITLE....

It looks CUTE!!!

Great price AND it has turn signals!

Something weird about that headset, could it be a rebadged Bajaj perhaps?

That is not a deal whatsoever. Looks like a Bajaj and no title for $2500 is a joke.

fair starting price-o-the-day

Any more thoughts on the bike Tract Punk posted? I just found it yesterday while combing the 'Bay for parts (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it). Not really looking for another bike yet, but I figure if I could get it for at or near opening bid price, it's worth sticking in the basement to save as a winter project.

The fact that the junction box and cables are missing gives me the impression that the bike was apart, and they just threw it together to sell. But everything else seems to be there and original.

Oh, and Tract Punk: If you have designs on this, I'll back off. But then, I figure you wouldn't be posting it here if you did.

Ok.. What do you think?

If either of you is interested in that disconnected cables scooter, it's located the next town over from me, so I could take a peek at it if you want. I'm a noob, so you could guide me on the phone to look for certain things. Just PM me.....

'Saw that in the bodge-spotting thread. Pakistan, I think.

Nah, I'm up to my ears in projects. But I can't say I wasn't thinking about it.

Wow, that's a real swell offer. Awesome of you, but I'm going to pass for two reasons:

1). I'm less than two hours from there myself. If I'm not interested enough to go look at it in person, I probably shouldn't enlist in the help of someone else.

2). And more importantly, Tract Punk's last post rang true for me, also. This really is the last thing I need. Although I well know when I really am looking for one, they never seem to be available. Oh well...

Certainly a project for someone, but motor and everything? 350? I'd say deal!

I like the "short wheel base" part.

I bet you could get them down a bit.

Ahhhh...so That's where Christmas fruitcakes go to die!

1400 is a bit much for that banged up bike.

If they are leaving that thing on the sidewalk in front of their shop (like photos show), it's probably drawing it's share of potential customers inside. Might be worth as much in advertising, as in profit, so maybe they aren't so motivated to move it.

Asking price is up there for a non-runner, but the ad has been up for a couple months so im sure he would negotiate.

I like it.. even with the crash bars..(I'd put a single spot on there) if it's just the battery, score.. if it needs some motor tlc, still pretty good..
That is a rally right?

That would seem a steal to me, even needing a fair bit of work on the engine. Shit. Why don;t we have those deals in Australia? Dammit.

That's been gone! No reply!

Note: Red Steel Rebar with Metal Fence Flagtip is NOT included with scooter, as shown in the 2nd picture - I asked already!

Whoa... News to me... What is a PGO?
Obviously it is the scoot in the picture, but someone care to PM me some info about them?

Vespa PK copy?

I really dig that trapezoid-style headlamp...much better than my own 'Deal O'The Day I bought yesterday for $708.00

PGO is the company that makes Genuine Buddies and Blurs and the like. I believe they started off with a contract to manufacture Vespa clones on Taiwan. Stood for "piaggio Group O....." I don't remember the rest.

DCunited, did you connect on the link for the scoot? The seller believes they can take that thing to 110Km/h - that's about 65mph. Seriously?

Yea I did but I don't speak metric. Just kidding. Maybe? That seems a bit optimistic to me though. More like 50-55mph or 80kph probably. Anyhow, I read the part that said the tires were dry rotted and neglected any information on the performance aspects of the scoot that the seller listed anyway. Chances are that's a optimistic sellers tactic being that the scoot can't safely be ridden and they don't know for sure.

The speedo on my car says 150mph. Have I ever done that? No.

DC... good point, but importantly - have you tried?
