Modern Vespa

I have spot welds there. Nothing wrong in my opinion other then it being ugly and price is high.

Normal, that's how they're made. Nice looking P. 8)

LOL! Never post pics of a scooter for sale over a big puddle of oil and then point out SEA as its origin.

heres todays

Asking for a friend. Add says all original and that's what's got me questioning it.

I would ask them who did the resto, when it was done, and what was done as a start.

Confirmed by other sources as legit

How can a two tone possibly be "all original"?

Indeed. That's why I posted it. Wondering if anyone here had seen it around. A friend sent me the screen shot and the first thing i caught was two tone paint job. Even though the speedo could have been bought anywhere, it gives the bike hope.

Agreed not all original, but also has nothing that would make me thing it's a bodge, and all the parts do look correct to the bike.

I'd go a step farther. How can it be totally rebuilt yet still original?

Not that I can contribute to the "bodgespotting" aspect of the conversation

I like that they have their red bodge sitting behind it in the photos. I wonder when we'll see that one show up.

It's not sitting over a puddle of oil, it was just marking its spot.

Things are never as they first appear, sometimes!

Checked the rego online, came up listed as:

"1968 Silver Vespa PX125E Motor Cycle" ?!

Indonesian?

yup

Another one, with all the red flags...

[topic156689]

1969 Sprint 150? with original engine? looks more like a VBB with Px engine.

speechless...

ya best off adding pix as when the ads gone theyre gone .....

do people still need warning about these shitters nowadays?

Pic attached. People on here probably don't need a warning, still good for a laugh.

Many bodge choices in SoCal right now.

That is the most text book example of what to run away from that I have seen in a long while...

Ow! My eyes!

I am reminded of a Wallace and Gromit scene where there is an electric drill apparently made by BOTCH

Oh boy, that is one pimped out scooter w/ all the choice bits

Huh, so tempting w/ only 30 km on the odometer! It must be almost like new still. Maybe the owner hardly rode it because he wanted to keep it that way and has priced it accordingly.

Do all of these bodges turn anyone else off of the 150 Super? It was never my favorite model, and now I just 100% associate it with SEA-BODGE.

Mine'll be a good ol' 'merikun C-Port Georgia bodge when I'm done with it!!!

Those bodged 60's-era 10" chromed-up, two-toned things from SEA have almost nothing in common with factory original VBC's.

To each their own, but saying bodges turn you off to 150 Supers is kind of like saying cheap motel paintings turn you off to art.

Winner winner chicken dinner.....

I couldn't figure out how to grab a photo to post with it....I suck at computers.

My god. What kind of franken-bodge is that?? Wideframe with all the wrong parts...

It is a case study in awfulness.

Which part is a Super?

The part where it's "super gaudy."

I love a good VBC/Super. Most, if not all of the SEA bodges are far removed from what a proper Super looks like. Many have VBB body parts, Rally or PX legshield gloveboxes and single seats, and all that poor quality, nasty chrome is very un-Super-like. It was the entry level largeframe in it's day, so had nothing in the way of bling. The later ones didn't even have the alu strips on the panels or mudguard, and most of the UK ones I know have the bench seat, which may have been an optional extra.
