Modern Vespa

i have this dilema, as u all might aware i am no fans of blink blink stuff.. last nite my cousin who have a super 150 came to my house and sold me a rear rack for $2, he had that rack from his friend but he didnt know what that rack are for and try it on at his vespa super and result it didnt fit so he sold it to me and now i am actually give it a test on my sprint v '77 but i didnt feel right so help me out with a opinion should i stick to this blink blink stuff or just play it natural without the rear rack and one other thing what do all think this rear rack dedicated to (i dont think it ever fit super nor sprint)

before and after thanks folks



the blink blink rear rack

Doesn't look sissy, but I think it ruins the lines of the scoot. Get rid of it if you don't need it..

I only put my racks on when I need them for going on rallies.

ur right jonna, i think i will get rid of it and use it only if i have a long distance rallies

thanks for the opinion

Hi,
if you want a nice rear rack for your sprint go too scooterclasico.com, click on vespa parts then click on vespa sprint/gt parts, scroll down the pages untill you see a red sprint with a copy of a origanal rear rack. very nice i have one for my spanish GS, there around 77 euros.

I'd say if it's not needed or used, leave it off because it does spoil the curved ass

If it's there for a purpose...meh. Stuff's allowed to be ugly, as long as it's practical. My wife made me put such a thing on the back of her scoot; I wasn't keen at first, but my food and beer gets strapped to the thing and brought home ready for me to consume - so now I like it

hyhy for truth if it wasnt $2 bucks i wont ever took it home but ur right adam as long it were needed i will put it on but if not it will rest in peace at some corner in my room

I wouldn't have turned it down for 2 bucks either - I also like buying stuff if it's too cheap to say no, and maybe need it one day. Maybe

hyhy same wise mate, we should open uncle scrooge fans club

now where you gonna hang your towels .... put it back in the bathroom

I think it looks good.

I like it. It'll hold a box a box of beer.

yes

First, I love the color of your scooter. Classy. Second, I'd keep the rack. Here's why: when you look at it and think it looks goofy, you're not sitting ON it. Racks like that tend to look better when they are accompanied by a person sitting on the scooter. Visually, having something other than the rack that reaches taller (a person) eliminates the goofy "back heavy" feeling you get when you look at it while parked. It also adds a little visual weight to the rear end when a person is on it. Have someone sit on it and then decide.

thanks dany i apriciate u like my paint work and ur right i am gonna keep the rack but not in a sprint as last nite i was wondering what that rack were design for and find the answer that the rack were actually for a T5 frame so i put it on my px 150 excel (T5 frame) and it fit wonderful i will post the pic soon

thanks and cheer everyone

If you like it who cares what someone else thinks. If anyone thinks it looks "sissy" tell em to eff themselves.

As an adult I have learned not to give a damn about what other people think about regarding things that I like.

I agree rickyh. We all ride scoots so who gives a rats ass about looking sissy. Our rides have style...'nuf said.

Koeng, thats why you have more than one scooter!

I wish everyone could have one "truck" as my buddy Jan calls his PX177. Then he rides one of his GS150's when he wants to be cool.

I am building up my own truck, P200e, when I get home from Denmark.

So, coolness is riding the GL, Allstate, GS160, Cushman...transport is riding the P200 and hauling stuff.

Who cares if someone else likes it? Do you like it? Sounds like you aren't convinced.

I encourage you to keep it on long enough to use it a few times. Then decide if the function is more valuable than the "look."

One of the great things about scooters is the emphasis on form and function.

Sissy, nah! Towel rack, that's a cheap shot.

Remember, not all opinions have the same weight (including mine)!

thanks everyone, ur all right i am keeping the rack and will only put it when i need to use it to haul some stuff but its gonna be in a truck jim said.. here's the pics i believe it look nicer in a p series instead in a sprint v

ok then call me sissy... every week me and my children go to visit my parent and baby bag on my backrack

hyhy seem its starting to infected lost of vespa owner with rear rack, my plan to use it on the up coming lebaran holiday but nino it seem u have a bigger rack then me and it really function well enough with those loaded cloth and milk maybe diaper too

ps: send my best wishes to ur family nino and have a belated fascing season

dude your shitting me you got that rack for 2 bucks...!!! DAMN!!!!!! I would be the happiest person ever... I just spent 100+ on trim and cowl protectors... your a lucky man..!! i would be proud of that thing and keep it on there... also i love the rack when i have to put groceries on the back

well i dont want to spend more money on my vespa especially the green one, this will blow u crazy "i bought that sprint v for only 75 bucks" so no reason at all to spend more bucks on a cheapo bike next project will be another cheapo vespa aither a px 150 nor another excel 150 that i plan to make it low.. i have tons of stress building a vintage vw bug that never seem to fisnihed due the lack of money so now i'll be back to working on a vespa

dude send me some of those bikes over here.!!!

i dont think u will like it mate it didnt have 200cc in the engine:mrgreen:

because I have 2 in 1 backrack with spare tire... and not too late for fasting season

I have been thinking about gettin me a smallie..!!! i want a pk not to sure im also diggin the 90cc

i prosumme u have the one look like this, right nino


ps: i kinna though that silver sprint were indo due the blink blink stuff that we normally saw in all vespa shop here and if u look the engine case it had vesgio wires

if u want to find a pk, try p125ets now thats a hot rod right there

I never even seen that before... damn thats pretty..!!!

told u soo

That thing is solid mate... They must be rare though...!?

i dont think its as rare as gs160 as i spot it here in indo as well if u patient enaough u migh gonna bump to it for a nice deal.. but one thing fi u decide to have that bike "ride safe brother"

it does look better on the red scoot ~~IMHO
but i totally agree with most folks ~ take it off if not needed ( on the Sprint)
it looks good on the red one and it makes using it for shopping easier ~ which is a big plus in my mind... it will also carry a nice BIG DURIAN !! which i understand you in INdO have some of the best!

in response to the original question - yes and no...

ur absolotly right mate its that my dilema
