Stupid question perhaps but did the Vespa super 150 come as early as 1960? SIP lists the super between -65 to -79. I´m thinking of buying one but it´s listed as 1960.

I always wondered why the hell they came with 8 inch wheels? Was it just because it was a lower end model or what?

they probably had a big pile of them left over that they needed to get rid of.

So 1960 is impossible then?

A toaster for the one who understands but perhaps you can tell if it´s a mix of different parts.
Thanks for quick answers anyway.[/url]

So...based on the cowls / fender / horncast on that bike, it can be surmised it's a VBB.

Then again, it's clearly from vietnam... so it could actually( and probably ) be a '65 Super frame that someone has stuck a bunch of VBB parts on.
