This is pretty much what I've wanted except for the shitty color...but the set up is pretty cool.

I was thinking the same thing. They were trying to build up a website and business on making scoots like this one. Bummer, I'm sure they never got their feet on the ground. I'm sure they will start to sell off whatever scoots they made.

Don't worry, I will not buy that scooter, because I don't like it ... For me the Vespa must be original , or at least almost original ...

Kinda leaves me with mixed emotions. Like when I saw my worst enemy drive off a cliff --- In my brand new Corvette

It's a sweet job with nice lines, but I never really liked a naked front wheel, for example. And, for some reason, I have never been too crazy about the looks of that kind of pipe. There is just, to my taste, an odd mix of smooth, elegant lines and rad chop. Kind of like HushPuppies worn with a tuxedo.

But it wasn't so always ... Maybe a 2 or 3 years ago I could buy some Vespa such that one, but now my opinion is influenced by Italian vespisti ... and so I changed my Vespa taste ...

Judging by that seat, your ass will also hate you if you buy it.

With all that bodywork and shaping it looks kind of silly without a custom front fender.

I hope those dudes are ok. They seemed so excited about opening a shop.

Dunno. It would have to be fabricated or heavily reworked...

It just looks incomplete. On some scoots I like when they don't have a fender, or have one of those tire hugger fenders, but this one looks, from an aesthetic POV, so "heavy" in the end and empty up front. It definitely needs something.

Not fond of that color, either. Ugh. Champagne.

There's a cool front fender you can get from SIP for that ...looks sorta like a motorcycle front fender... just a little strip. I forget what they're called, but they are sorta sought after, IIRC..

I think if would have looked cool with a little fender like this one.

I like the bare look of a Vespa fork. It's so unique in design when it comes to things on 2 wheels. I still think a small fender is necessary.

Agreed on the Lammy horncast. I think a T5 horncast would do just fine.
