Modern Vespa

Oh No! not the old "Stored in a warehouse for 47 years" story!! That's the biggest load... Just take one look at the floor mat! They didn't even have that Font 47 years ago!

Someone should definitely send that seller here! for that reality check!

I just wonder if the seller came up with that BS, or if it was the tuhhuuurd who sold it to them!

A couple of you guys will remember these. Now they are trying to bundle them with with a third bike and an engine. $5800.00 bucks CAD for a Vespa connoisseur.

Another one on Scoot net. Can someone tell me where that accessory on the side of the bike below the seat originates? It's also on the bike above.

This is a great collection for the Vespa / mechanic / restorer enthusiast.

2) 1963 150cc model complete rebuilt with registration (Red and White)
3) 1965 50cc model not running with registration (pink and white)
4) Chassis 1960's no registration ( Blue and White)
5) 150 cc motor requires transmission work ( for the Blue and White)

I am looking to sell this collection as one lot only. The price for all these items is $5800.00
Serious inquiries only. Thank you

we bought a 1964 location vespa. Took it in for some work to be done. We're told its a fake. It's registered as a vespa on the title. Now what do we do ?

Take it back? I don't understand the 1st line.. what do you mean by "location" vespa? Pics? Let's see what you're dealing with.

Submit pictures so we know what you mean by "fake". Fake has no real meaning and I doubt any repair shop would say something is "fake". They had to have told you something about what you have and/or what is wrong with it.

Bodge in San Diego... $1850...

Wow

"Many extra parts will be included"

Yeah, like all the ones that don't belong on there...

Egads.........I don't like the looks of that trailer.

It's about as crooked as that scooter. This might actually be an American bodge though...

If I lived in Newyork I would take a look at that G S , not for $7,000. . That scoot looks more like just bad choice of extras . If that scoot could be talked down to $4,000. I would take a hard look at it .

I'll give him a buck just to look at that trailer rig a little closer.

He'd been better off throwin that pig in his trunk.

Trailer?
It's a hitch carrier with roller wheels .Looks like its wired to bumper.
Never seen that setup,cheezy lookin.

it's always best to put the mirror down so it can bang all over the leg shield. Don't just take 'em off! aaack

Found this on CL and it seems like a subtle bodge...

Have 1966 vespa sprint 150,runs and drives great,has title and current tabs,its a 6 out of a 10. Intetested in a trade up let me know what got. "not"interested in services,mmj,computers,low ballers,and those flakes !!!!!! Drop me a email if you have a trade,I like classic cars/trucks,classic bikes.........

that looks like a Bajaj to me. notice the red buttons on the headset switch, speedometer looks kinda raised, the spare tire holder, and something is up with those seats.

Not a "bodge".

Just some custom mats that seem to do the job.

Cute little 8" kinda.

i would'nt buy it, they wont even bother to bang out a dent just fill holes and dents with bog instead

4 stroke 1961 vbb or may be vnb in Australia

Roman Holiday at your Doorstep !!

1961 Retro Green Vespa - Named Myrtle

She'll get you around in style pretty much anywhere you want to go, great for inner city lving and lifestyle areas.

She's just had a complete new fork assembly, suspension, hub and brakes. All new cables fitted and engine rebuilt by previous owner around 18 months-2 years ago.

Its a 125cc - I could not find the correct listing under the options. Chassis is a VBB, Engine VNB

Myrtle is in great condition, full of life and character...and ready for a new home and a new master !
BARGAIN $4000

may not be the best idea to peddle your wares with a yellow booted two-toner creamsicle in the background

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mpo/4091522592.html

That's another Fabio ad. What's the deal with that shop, anyway?

Don't you love that ad?

"Myrtle is in great condition, full of and character...and ready for a new home and a new master !"
The above sentence deserves the
WTF of the week award

I think that California Fabio has been reading too much Fifty Shades of Green.

I think some of you are confusing the green bodge with the VL3 engine ad that Sfvsr posted.

Fabio is not selling the green bike........although it is something he would mess with.

Hi can you please give me your opinion bodge or not?

indo bike and yes its a bodge

Is that purple one off gumtree in Aust by any chance?

Ie http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/woy-woy/other-motorcycles-scooters/scooter-vespa-1964/1022213436

ha, lance eh

Yes off gumtree

But the statement below is definitely way out

85-90MPH on a n LX150?!
If he rides it everyday (its a 2008) how does it only have 1,500 miles?
5 miles/day X 5days/wk X 5yrs=6300

I can dig a little "advertising" but bullshit is something all together different.

Beautiful Black 2008 LX 150cc Vespa. With only 1,500 miles this bike has been covered and never dumped. Perfect with no dents or scratches . It comes with rear chrome rack, front chrome fender protector, rubber foot floor mat, and weather shield. I ride everyday all year round and you can't beat 5$ of premium gas every 2 weeks and being able to park anywhere. I can hit 85-90 MPH on the freeway.
Serious inquires only.
3000$ firm
would consider a trade for a running 1970'S BMW 2002, OR late 70's -80's 528 BMW.

Having read this thread a few times, and seen many photos of potential bodges, and numerous references to yellowing white walls... Blah blah...
BUT there seems to be a distinct lack of finer details to look for to identify a bodge, and no close ups.
Ie broken lower rear shock mount, paste as gaskets, stress marks where guard bracket is, 10mm thick bog, seam missing from floor welds under guard above rear wheel, broken fins on head etc...
There are normally 10 or so subtle hints... Does anyone have good pics of them?

Bodge or not?

http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/mcy/4153200651.html

Body is a repaint (don't believe the wheels and fork would have been body color) but that is no big deal.

The engine on the other hand.....yoinks. Do you see that you need to remove the bodywork to get at the kick starter?

I also see that it doesn't have the swing arm to lift up the engine cowl. I don't see the obvious bodge indicators on this one other than the couple of chrome items. I guess they are getting a little better on disguising these. This would actually be the first widebody nammer I actually come across.

How can you tell and Indian restoration from a normal Nammer one?
