Vespa

[whiterabbit9]

Hey

So I don't feel like taking the car to school anymore
it's giving me pain in one of my knees (tall guy small car)

so I am going to take the bus

but I just stumbled upon this:

2500$ Cdn

900km, 2003, would offer 2000$

Anyone ever owned one ? Tell about !
It would be nice for summer time

could store it in my parents garage winter time

I am young by the way, but I think I would drive one even if I was an old man

I live in a small town too

Hell yeah scooters are pimp

Vespa`s are some really awesome, durable and easy-to-fix bikes..... there are lots of them in Italy! Really crazy machine, some of them are going quite fast, too fast if you ask me.

But this is a new model so, the "easy-to-fix" might not be so easy, since today all the new things are somehow designed in a way that you MUST go to the official seller.


Anyway, great bike, recommend it

F***ing mods Vespas are the epitome of style WR,ever been to Rome?

 

[Cookie monster]

Ah man go for one of the classic vespa's ...those plastic things are a disgrace to the name vespa.

or better yet take a look at a lambretta the most perfect scooter ever

I'm the same. Recently drove a Honda brand scooter of similar design. Beat bloody hell out of my knees. There's no leg room at all. Stopping, and getting my legs out without bashing them on the screen or handlebars was difficult and scary.

For $2000, even Canadian$, you can get a real bike made for grown ups.

Scooters and dual sport bikes are sweet as long as you're hyper-sensitive about idiot drivers who almost never see you before they switch lanes. Oh, and just because it's smaller than a motorcycle doesn't mean that a fall or other accident is any less dangerous. Wear a full-face helmet and a riding jacket at a minimum if you don't want to be paralyzed or killed.

ya my dad didn't want me to get one when I was young (here at 14 you can have one)

as for old style models here's a 1978 P125X vespa: guy wants 2000$
could do 1500$ for sure

i dont like the paint on this one

as for adult bicycles .. dunno never was into bicycles, they are a world of their own, I am a young guy, and not that into cars-bikes

I never go over 100-120km, but usually flow at 80

I am pretty sensitive to other's driving
(you have to watch for your mistakes.. but also those of the others)

I sort of fell in love with the first tan one, because it is pretty, unique (import from florida)
and I just love the slow pace

as for adult bicycles .. dunno never was into bicycles they go too fast for me

now thats what am talking about OLD SKOOL ....as for crashing you wont be going fast anuff to hurt yourself lol a wee bit road burn if you come off (picking grit outa ya leg for a few days ) ,,unless some1 hits you ...
not sure on where you live but there not allowed on the freeway/moterways hear. i imagin its the same where you stay (i would wear a helmat of some sort to be on the safe side)...just sit and chill there not about speed..

very cool but be forewarned.......

the extra small tire size on scooters turns potholes into ditches,
a small patch of sand or a decent sized pebble/stone can turn
your ride into a nightmare, just because you're riding what might
be considered the 'toy' of motorcycles doesn't mean you should
be any less prepared to go down hard on one of those.

[pack a bowl]

[I N Hail]

[HindukushMaster]

I N hail has the right idea!!!! bust out some chopper or harley fatboy muscle. vespas are cool but i never wanna be the dude thats on one getting a k.i.s.s on the rear end. Even a bump on there i would think can send u to another dimension brah
