Took a trip down to the local Vespa dealership today to put a deposit on my LX50. (Photographed below to the right of a silver GTS)

Took a few quick photos, and bought myself some decent gloves, a helmet and a nice cover.

Sorry for any blur, was only my mobile/cell phone...

I don't... it gets delivered, I do a CBT on March 10th (next Saturday) and then I ride around my home. Laughing emoticon

You can buy either an LX50 four or two stroke in the UK. The two strokes are much faster but much noisier. The fours are more economical and reliable.

Make sure you get it de-restricted Pinky! Otherwise the SUV's will be pushing you into the gutter at rush hour! Then get it kitted, piped up, variator upgrade, racing stripes, Enjoy!
