PLEASE NOTE SPEED & POWER FANS This bike has been fitted with a very strong and powerful new 5 PORT Motor for lots of smooth, dependable, fast POWER !!! Most vintage scooters have the standard 150cc , but this scooter's motors is like a V8 compared to a four banger !!! You will be paying a little more but will be twice as happy... really can keep up with highway traffic and less vibrations as well.... you will love it !!! Other Vintage Vespas and Sidecar Scooters do not have this motor, so this would be a great choice. The power helps this bike go 55 mph with sidecar & passenger or 65 mph with sidecar detached !!! Also, please note that while moving the bike, I scraped the back rear seat in the side car and there is now a small tear. There is also a small scuff on the back right side cowl, but not too noticeable- but I always like to point out any small flaws!
.. this 1969 RETRO BEAUTY is 150 CC 5 PORT motor VBB model - Scooter 100% REBUILT - READY TO RIDE OR YOU TAKE THE REST OF THE WAY AND CUSTOMIZE OR ADD HIGH-PERFORMANCE PARTS, ETC., to your liking. Motor IS Electronic Ignition (no points) for better reliability and
upgraded to 10 inch wheels for more stability at high speeds (these came with 8" wheels back in the day).
Amazing Side-car VBB 150 cc Model,
expertly Rebuilt from the ground up... everything looks and runs amazing but keep in mind these awesome Italian Vespas have been running strong as every day transportation for over 40 years on the streets of Europe, India and other Asian countries and although super reliable some basic mechanical knowledge is highly recomended, such as changing the spark plug from time to time, adjusting brake/clutch cables, adding 2 % oil to the gas, etc... for those who take the time to care for these fun scooters, it should run and look great for another 40 years... !!! Similar to a classic car for example, you must be prepared to fiddle w/ these vehicles from time to time, but for fans of vintage, antique and classic stuff, it's half the fun... If that is YOU? then please read on and Happy Bidding.
This Vintage 1969 VBB 150 cc with upgraded twice as powerful 5 port motor, fits up to three riders, are awesome street-legal collectors items that are a blast to ride and should need nothing, as you can see from the photos. You can now customize or improve the scooter however you want to suit your personality !!! Bikes are masterfully restored by a Vespa expert -- and shows and drives like a dream... amazing for almost 40 years old.
New glossy paint and Chrome/stainless steel trim, parts are great condition original or or new remanufactured, with new tires --cool stock look exhaust pipe.. a real beauty and with upgraded 150 cc, it really jams around town as well... turns heads on every ride. As I have also advertised this beautiful scooter elsewhere, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time before auction ends on EBay .
MORE FREE STUFF INCLUDED: DUST COVER, 2 % MIXTURE OIL CUP AND 1 QT OF Synthetic 2-STROKE OIL, SPARK PLUG WRENCH AND ASSORTED NEW SPARK PLUG, CABLES, GAS CAN, 5 packets of OIL, REPAIR MANUAL AND Light BULBS..
Although this bike is about 40 years old, and shows and performs similar to a new vehicle... there is not any warranty or refunds, but I will be availalbe to answer any and all questions, to the best of my knowledge, re repair and upkeep of Vintage Vespas... if you ever need them: parts are readily available and these vintage Vespa motors are virtually bullet-proof! As the motor is new or newly rebuilt, for best results take it easy the first couple 100 miles or so for a gentle break-in, resulting years of riding pleasure with your hard to find retro Vespa. These bikes get about 70 mpg, run up to 60+ mph, and are a safe bet to go up in value someday !!!
