I can post pictures if you like but since this is a bit of a new idea to me I will need to take them this weekend. Regards, Marek Regards, Marek I can understand your concern re life without a vespa. I am in the reverse. I have always had a motorcycle and did my motorcycle camping..also rode my BMW bike from west palm beach florida to mexico and then up to the grand canyon and then back to west palm...i did some long distance riding. I just sold it because i bought a coach ( motorhome) and made it my primary home. so i figured i would not need the big bike and would enjoy something to have local around town fun with the ability to still get on the highway....and that would be the 250. I have never taken a vespa for a ride and i know it will not handle like my motorcycles did, but I have a feeling that the Vespa has a high fun factor and that is a major thing for me with bikes. Different bikes for different needs. Also the riding position for me was important...i do not like leaning forward....i prefer more of the sit up feeling....I like to enjoy the scenery and relax yet have good handling. Whatever you decide.....try to ride the bike on the highway and into turns etc.....ride it for awhile if you can....get the feel. If a seller is reluctant to let you ride because the fear is if you should drop it....then there could be a problem.... The way to avoid this....and be able to test ride....is: You decided you want the bike and you both established the price. Then you write up your bill of sale and you give the person the money...However there is a written agreement that you are taking the bike for a test ride and if you do not like it for any reason you get your money back upon the return of the bike, and if you drop it you own it. Than took the fear out of sellers. I do not think it is a good idea to buy any bike you cannot ride....or you could be in for a sad surprise......not just the bike running properly, but your comfort too. Good luck...ride safe |

Good luck...ride safe But the vespa should complement your motor home perfectly. The 250 is just se well designed. Its genius really. That's why I've been putting off a motorcycle for a long time now. You are more then welcome to test ride the vespa. The practicality of it sets in about 2 seconds when you're moving. And then it dawns on you that going shopping to a grocery store is among the main tasks this has been designed for. It's brilliant. Putting a gallon of milk or some other solid object from home depot on the floor, securing it with your feet, while all of it does not hinder your ride back home ... this is genius.
