Great all original Vespa, runs awesome, highly collectible, has the rare 3 speed transmission.
you don't see many of these around -won't last -calls only 401-497-1886 -injury forces sale
asking $1500 obo or taking vintage motorcycle trades such as vintage Honda ,Triumph, Bmw

the 1500 I'm sure I could knock down esp with him asking for a vintage Honda....

What kinda of speed am I looking at with this beast? I'm assuming better acceleratiton than my lx50 by far and better climbing with not being an auto.

it's a base model 50cc small frame Vespa, not even a 50 Special, which comes with a 4 speed gearbox (among other upgrades). It is not especially rare or collectible. They are slow slow slow, good for 25-35mph tops. Usually I see them go for under a grand. You can find a better scooter for $1500

OH I wasn't going to offer 1000...

I found a running honda cb360 that I was going to buy (for under 500) and use as a trade if seller accepted.

good to know its not even worth my time...maybe I'll jut buy the 360 and play with that....
