Picked up our new LXV150 yesterday from Vespa Seattle. The guys there were really helpful and we can't recommend them enough. I also wanted to thank MV - I've been lurking around the boards, searching and finding lots of helpful information.

Truth be told it's the wife's scooter since she's giving up her car. I got to ride it back from the shop since she doesn't have a helmet yet. When I got home, (I took the long way) I told her I may need to get my own Vespa.


Here's a pic of the scooter:

Re: First day of the rest . . .
Welcome ADM
I also had a great purchase experience from Vespa Seattle, we are fortunate to have them & People's Scoots in town.
Do not forget to buy your wife some high quality foul weather gear for all of the lousy weather we get here in Seattle.
I recommend that you get a matching GTV300, just sayin.

Aloha and welcome to the forum. Sweet LXV. I'm biased of course but i think they are the best scooters out there (150's) 8) I've done some online stuff with them and your right they are great. What do you ride? Have your wife sign on also it's not just for guys ya know Laughing emoticon Have fun with the new scooter and ride safe.

You're right Judy. But I think the photo of starr (https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic71285) may have scared her off.

She's going helmet shopping today. I'm going out for a ride . . .
