Your buying a Ford but one of it's models. Piaggio makes scooters/models other than the Vespa's. Here's a few off the top of my head BV series, LT series. MP3. Your going to enjoy the ET. Great little scooters. Good luck

Piaggio scooters have more of the contemporary look and they use more plastic panels, whereas Vespas' styling are based on the classic scooter look and proportion. Happy and safe riding!
