Not exactly a deal but tempting...anyone know this bike?

I LOVE that. Black plate, title, sweet...

I like that !! just not sure it would make it the 1,500 mile ride home though

Allstate 65 for $1300 near Myrtle beach, might be worth checking out?

Images aren't the greatest and no contact details (so tread with caution).

wow looks fantastic.

I dunno why I look at these threads, the wife would kill me if I even put the words "buy" and "vespa" together.

I am with you there !!

I never normally look at Craigslist, but I saw this last night & thought with interest "if only I lived in Vancouver, I could probably do something with that"

The wife did not share my interest though ! So no long w/end in BC for me then !

That guy has been there for a long time too.

Why would you do something with that? It's a bodge at a pretty high price for a deathtrap. No deal at all, especially considering I only paid a bit more for an all original 1962 VBB last weekend with only 4,XXX miles on it. Pass

Spares in this part of the world are pretty damned expensive (as are complete scooters !) But a complete bike like that would be a great donor, for almost what I would pay to get a front hub here (I exagerrate slightly).
As an aside, you are quite fortunate that you have access to well priced complete scooters, but there is rarely anything under $4k worth buying within a 1,000km of here.

I wish someone would come up with a company that ships bikes.

They are out there - the last one I used within the UK cost me 95 pounds ($160) and took about 4 days, the last one I used within Canada cost me $1,000 took 3 weeks & they trashed my headset. The distances are obviously not the same, but they are nowhere near proportional to the costs ! Rant rant !

Now that looks tasty and well priced....

For you small frame lovers:

Dang! both those smallies are priced right!

Vader that LA pimi is calling your name!

It's a good thing that LA Primavera is in LA or my plan to buy a motorcycle might have been compromised...

Dammit to hell, why do I come back to this thread daily and torture myself!

You're not the only one Indy. But it does keep my hopes up for finding a decently priced scoot.

Damn!! Wife almost said yes! It looks like a not so small project though...
Really really tempted. It would be my 50th B'day gift. Maybe i should try to convice her for something more modern...

Yup I know there is a ton of them out there. Uship, Haulbikes.com, Forward Air, I was being a complete smart ass to your post of commenting on no bikes for sale below $XXXX so its worth it to buy a bodge. Not the case - plenty of bikes out there and some that may need to be shipped to get the right bike for the right price. Just find the right shipper so its not $1000.

I'm with you 100%, this is the kind of "deal" in my local market:

Thats the price you pay for moving to somehwere less populous I guess !
As a result all of my scoots I have here have come from far far away and there is not a bodge amongst them !
I am going to have to start holidaying South of here & tap into some of the deals you guys are getting. I'm just jealous that's all !!

Totally, but I'm never prepared in the wallet for any of these scores.. I SERIOUSLY need to excersize some restraint and make a dedicated stash..
Damn it! I've missed way too many... time to wake up and smell the missed opportunities! (I do however still have to work out my "extra sxooter in the garage" in anticipation of wife stumbling into the garage when I'm not looking!

I have the same problem.

Yep! horrible right? .... I've literally had the dough.. nothing coming up, so I soend on parts etc.. the literally later That Day, something great will pop up right around the corner! :faceplam: aararrrggghhhh shit shit, crap grumble grumble grumble follows each time!
Ok Wangl, we'll work on it together.. kinda like a support group! I've got 1.65 left in ky pocket after the airport.., That's a start... going straight in this William Sonoma Coconut Marshmallow cookie mix can I saved! (true)


LOL.. sorry I got to this after! Ok.. no mo Wang!

Damn, this is a steal...I paid 2700 for perfect original condition w 800mi few years ago. I would get this one without hesitation even if the color is the same

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/mcy/4052045913.html

P200 for $1100....

This could be a deal for someone.

That Rally... it's all there, but it seems so expensive. the body looks like it's been dented/hammered a lot.

Not a terrible deal, but needs lots of work. and cowls are virtually impossible to find, no?

$2000 for that Rally is a good buy. Its got some body dents, but its all there, original paint, turn signals, late ducati p200 motor and wiring, and BBQ rack.

the bloke selling two dodge vb1s im after a couple parts ??? cant find it,,,, in orange



is he too ok? an aluminium cylinder cowl is what im mainly after




anyone local

I would bite his hand off for that rally at 2k.

HAHAHA! I know the guy who bought this. Hope their club turns it into their raffle bike for next year since my club has won all their raffle bikes so far. (2)

I'd go higher than $2k on that Rally. They don't come up that often. It isn't pretty but it looks all there and not overly "customized".

And then he won a bike!

Somebody do it.

Agreed, looks like the main problem is it was laid down on it's left side and the cowl took most of the hit. I read here that good repops are now available, but that one could be fixed by a pro. The legshield isn't really too bad, mine was worse, and a new set of Rally SS trim will help a lot. The paint WILL clean up beautifully.

As mentioned, it seems to be ALL there and it's STILL listed. I'll bet it doesn't have a lot of miles, from details in some of the pics. I would be ALL OVER this if closer and I was looking for a Rally.

If somebody here gets it, I will send you a selector box cover for it GRATIS!
