Modern Vespa

Legit and with some really nice vintage accessories on the complete one...

I like this

I thought so. She Who Must would kill me if I brought home even one more scooter, let alone two that don't run!

I see nothing but a lot of potential in those.

I know right? I have no more room for even a box let a lone a scooter. My wife made ultimatum. I have to get rid of a scooter in order to get another one. But all of my 8 scoots are keeper.

a fake Vespa 125

Look like it's using a VBB or a VBC frame.

a whooping 6.8k for a vbb?

Those VBB legshield glove boxes aren't free, ya know

$6,800??

Talk about adding insult to injury.

Well, hey if you're going to try to rip someone off, you might as well swing for the fence.

this one is a bit lower not "swing for the fence type" but close. =)

I think I saw that same one on the Los Angeles Craigslist a while back.

Really. It looks like the new owner found out what he is getting and trying to get rid of it.

Seller is lying through his teeth. There is no US dealer selling this junk and it was not restored in the US.

It has everything of a bodge.

Seems to be missing from eBay now. Did you report it?

yes indeed. false advertisement.

I love it. The Bodge Police!

I was looking for it to do the same thing.

Pretty sure this frame crumple isn't part of the original design

Now I remember that model...

The Vespa 90 death trap.

Too many bodges on eBay UK...

This one is supposedly a Vespa Douglas but it screams Nammer. Problem is that they've started to get better so the "untrained" victim, will fall for...

It looks like they tried to fabricated that area.

"I have had it serviced by QB Motorcycles of Quarry Bank

It has an odometer reading of just 17 miles on clock."

didn't get far, did it ?

it's a hotcake VBB at $4200, any taker?

This can't be 1956 vespa. Not even close. Looks like they restamp the frame VIN as well. Someone must have thought this is a faro basso.

My GOD!!! What a monstrosity!!!

Honestly, silver and brown? I know color choice is subjective, but this color combination is perhaps the worst ever.

Don't be hating brown

How could we? They match your Keen's hiking boots so nicely.

Ha, thx. Those are Merrills and yes they do

I aint hatin' brown. I'm hatin' brown and silver. The two just don't fit well. Two-tones are enough of an eyesore.

Here's my two tone mostly brown bodge:

Of course better than silver as it's beige. Brown and beige is a quite appealing color combination.

Is this a bodge or not?? It was posted on a FB group and apparently I must have hit a nerve, cause the OP apparently was triggered by my comment, made fun of my name and then blocked me. All I did was to point out the Vietnamese accessories on it and that it might be a Viet-Bodge...

The photos were sent to me by a friend cause I can't see the ad anymore...

The ad is on the "Vespa Classic Sales" FB group...

Saw this on display outside a shop called Modfather in Camden Market yesterday.

10" wheels, crappy details, too much gloss on the paint. I just had to shake my head and move on.

Yes, but what about the clothes??

Classic thick glossy paint, no doubt hiding all manner of 'repaired' body defects. Still, at least it's a retail ornament and not a road going scoot......we hope.

As Alanis once sang, isn't it ironic that Modfather is all about authenticity.

Sadly, it had license plates and a "For Sale" on it, so it might be out there killing some overpaying fool soon enough.

Modfather was fine,. Lots of Fred Perry and high prices. Mostly just short sleeve shirts, which do me no good in London or chicago this time of year.

I don't see anything wrong with that VNB/VBB. Yeah, it's on 10 inch wheels but a lot of legit conversions have been done over the years. It looks to have been done right. For sure, I'd want to check out the fork, check for bondo, and look over the engine. But then I'd do that with any bike.

holly cow... gotta love the front signal light. Pretty clever.
Hollywood scooter = Hollywood price

Why is the brake lever aimed at the sky?

"You will not find an Original Vespa from Italy in this condition." I agree.
