Modern Vespa

LINK No price, but within (close) driving distance.

Kinda taking liberties with the word "all original," though.

for the un-initiated, what ISN'T stock about this?

The fender has been resprayed for a start and front reflector is fugly . The turn signals im pretty shure where chrome ( I could be wrong on that ) .

Yeah, I was just reacting to the lack of Rally stripes, which makes me think maybe the whole thing's been resprayed, and then the marker lights on the front fender (which I doubt were wired up, but you never know). There's part of a rack bracket sticking out on back -- where'd the rack go, and why not take the bracket off with it? The black turning signal stems are actually kinda a nice touch, but still, calling it all original, and stating it's better than any Rally he's seen in Vietnam just sets off the bullshit klaxons in my head.

But if he's asking $2000, and there's documentation re: the engine rebuild, then none of that stuff would bother me too much.

Yep, missing stripes means respray for sure
Turn signals should indeed be chrome
Reflector/light on the front fender is wrong... there should be a reflector there but not that one
Missing the rubber around the site glass for oil tank

Overall looks like a nice scoot though.

The funny thing is I looked at the bolts on the fender and didn't even noticed the stripes where missing .

$750 smallie in San Diego....

According to scooter lounge, the VBA was replaced in 1960 by the VBB. The three speed is right, but is the vintage?

I'm actually headed for Portland tomorrow ...

Check the serial numbers. These things get registered with wrong dates all the time.

I have a list of SNs bookmarked. Thanks!

1973 Vespa Primavera 125 - $1600 (Braselton)

three hours from me and no funds. sucks Really don't know much about small frames anyway.

If it really goes 60 then I bet you don't find a stock 2 port engine in there....

If its a proper smallframe owner, you shouldnt keep a stock engine, but a primavera is the only smallie I'd /want/ to own. TravisNJ has one, same color and such so I can glean that that bike is a really well maintained original 125.

Not too bad? I don't know Lambrettas, but it's pretty clean. http://scoot.net/classifieds/forsale.html?id=50181

"last licensed '67 & '68 very complete, stored indoors"

Both of 'em for $500, what's not to like? Here

This thread is called DEAL of the day, not STEAL of the day

I know, good thing they're half a continent away.

They were sold the same day. Only 3 hours away from me. I would have been BBQed by my honey if I tried to bring them home though.

Me, too, but I'd have done it anyway if the option had presented itself.

I have been burned well by the wife for doing this. But time heals all and deals don't last.

Two Piaggio mopeds for $250 ( for both).

Pretty good deal as far as nyc goes. Some of the scoots listed on the nyc clist are just ridiculous. Most of them are full restos anyway. No fun in that. I would pick this up but one project is already taking up enough of my time. I swear I'll get around to starting my college essay soon

nyc can be a shitshow. what exactly is wrong with the frame in question tho?

Reserve is set at 600........

How do you know the reserve? I thought only the seller knows. That's a super low reserve.

I'm digging the checkered stripes and zebra skin seat cover. I assume this works like a radar jamming device creating a large contrast and becoming invisible at speed?

Looks like someone asked
Q: Hi! Whats your reserve set on it?
A: Hi, reserve price is $600.

like I always tell my kids.. it's amazing what you can learn by reading.

That thing is pretty sweet. It's got some nice go-fast parts on it, too. Malossi 210, 30mm side draft carb, tuned pipe.

Here is a good cheap one.

Buy that & wait 20years, good investment

MINE!

You need a nice red leisure suit so you can scoot in style, sweet ride. Keep us posted on how it works out. It went cheap

Sweet! I'm so happy it worked out for someone here to latch onto that scooter. Price is pretty good, hope you let us know how it turns out!

Congrats, looks like you got a great deal. Clean white Ps just look so good!

Hey, instead of tossing that seatcover in the garbage, would you mind sending it this way for our dirt bike build?
Looks like it might enjoy getting back out in the wild

The seat cover was the only reason I bought it!
Let me see what it is covering and if things are in good shape you got it!
