Modern Vespa

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/mcy/1382243205.html

looks pretty awesome..can you guys take a trip down to SF?
I would jump on it if I didn't already have one, it would fit in really well with my trap headset sprint and S150

That's pretty snazzy...

that might be typo on the price cuz i remember that i have seen it on CL for over $2k... hmmm...

it does seem pretty inexpensive for what it is and where the scooter is located.

Looks like he dropped some coin on it...Nice..

what model is it? the headset and horn cast look weird to me.

50 special

it has been told to me that it is one of the few if not two vespas that was never made or distributed outside italy

it is also common to find them kitted

my favorite and most probably my next

i had a choice between my et3 and a 50 special
i got the et3

jimmy, i looked at your link. the 50 special stock seat is awesome (maybe the coolest looking stock seat ever on a vespa). i think you made the right choice with the et3, though.

the seat and headset are what make that bike so hot

the quarky horncast sets it apart

i love my et3

the p series is not a "stylish" bike

so for me the next good looking vespa will be a 50 special

there is a bunch in indonesia

here is a shop that does stuff with them

i dont quite understand the 100 badge but that is a 50 horn and headset and seat

here are more 50's in indo

i am not commenting on the shop just the amount of stock

maybe our indo family knows these guys, but again i am just showing the bike

That is a nice scoot. Almost all 50 Specials have 3 gears, this has 4 since he changed the gearbox.

That's a good price too, for the Bay Area.

Euro 50 Specials are 4-speeds.

this is incorrect

the 90 was a common 3 speed

this 50 special was only 4 speed

that is why alot are kitted because the 50cc was a dog but the 4 speed was a perfect gear box

50 Spesh: my next scooter, I say. Plenty here for a grand 8)

I get that it's "special" but I for one don't care for the look. Just me. Still, would be super cool to have a shiny one like that for that price!

your not alone xantu

the horn turns some folks off

but to see one live with the seat is a delight

ekhem.. yoo jimmy i also want 50 special too i know there a lot here but even i hard to find one for myself especially with my financial issue pssst i saw one in nino home week ago

i agree with xantu. that horn does not work for me. but it is subjective, like anything else. we are not all supposed to like the same things. that would be pretty soulless.

True! I love those scooters man, everything about it works for me 8)
