and i have my dads vespa 1970 model and its in immaculate condition. My dad always told me wenever i passed away keep it with you. Hey dad i have it with me and i ride it on every Sunday .. i hope you can see from heaven
Vespa has always been a status icon in India ever since it arrived, alot of the rich people own Vespas and that's what makes it so special and elite, I've been planning on getting one and hopefully that'll happen soon :)
I bought a Vespa P125 in 1962 and still have it in my garage with only 6245 mi. on the odometer. It was sent to me direct from Italy in a crate and had to be assembled. Many wonderful experiences in my youth. Southern Ontario highways and biways were my playgrounds. Best of times were had and will never be forgotten as long as I am alive. Happy days.
you still get the spares available , over your place it is no possibe here i own lx 125 and the service centre says the parts are not available as the colour modle is discontinued .... cant belive u still have ur s
Wow! I want to jump on one, ride to a Pizza place, drink Lambrosco , eat a Napoli pizza, then Tiramisu, met a nice Italian woman and let her ride me back to my place. Perfectionism.
I own a vespa et4 125cc 2004 since 2014 and i love this thing so much. I’m rebuilding its engine and frame will be repainted too. The et4 is the very first scooter/motorized vehicle i drove when i was 14y old.and i never forgot how get if felt and how awesome a vespa looks. I have drove alot of other scooters. And maybe im lucky. But vespa is the only scooter that has NEVER let me down. Thats why in rebuilding it into a new state. It deserves the love . Thanks vespa
Me and my 2001 Vespa et4 150 just celebrated 😎 our 20th anniversary together cruising the country roads and the beautiful fall foliage of New England here in the U.S. ❤ my Vespa !!! Ciao ....
I'm so so grateful to own a Vespa! Over here in Canada, Vespas are super wanted amongst teenagers since they're amazing quality! I was lucky enough to buy the last Black Primavera 50 CC
also keep in mind that they hold their resale value. I recommend keeping an eye out for a used. I just (end of 2023) got a GTS 300 super sport, 2017 with 9k km for $4300 CAN.
My dad had a 1956 Vespa, same as these. He taught me to ride it at 8 y/o. They were beautifully designed with a leg windshield already part of it to stop the wind from freezing the legs. They were shaped like Wasps. Ours was light blue coloured. There was also another make called Lambretta, a but longer and skinnier than the Vespa. I think the Lambretta had more horsepower than the Vespa.
Lambrettas were the direct competitor to Vespas made by Innocenti. Lambrettas were slightly more robust and sportier due to more powerful engine options and angular design, while also having longer models. Though, unfortunately, true Lambrettas are all old since the factory closed down in the early 70s. Grandpa had a '69 150 Special in metallic blue which was sold illegally by a relative after he stored it in his garage temporarily. Somehow the same bike changed multiple owners without its papers present and eventually, a bike collector informed us that grandpa's scooter was with him after another illegal transaction. We actually went to see the old timer, I even got to sit on the still relatively in one piece bike! (missing some tidbits and sporting a worn-out paint job) It honestly felt less like sitting on a two-wheeler and more like a chair with how larger it is than today's small 50 cc plastic scoots. Right now though, we can neither sell it to the owner nor take it for ourselves since grandpa is in no state to sign the ownership off as he is... well, old age. I want to get a GTS 300 for myself.
I'm impressed they are still making them with steel! I thought they had completely switched over to plastic. I don't live in a city so I don't have any use for one, but they are very cool scooters.
I can assure you the best use for Vespas is on winding country roads (something actually underrated by they own marketing, which points to urban use). They have exceptional handling, being super light vs a regular motorbike but with the same cornering stability. Just remember to choose the 300cc 😀😀
@@dsimonc I never knew that! I have the best motorcycle I could have for winding country roads, a 1988 BMW R100GS "bumblebeemer" that I bought new and still have.

Italian is so easy to understand and learn In so many countries in Eastern Europe they would show good italian movies without subtitles and millions learned the language just by watching tv it’s crazy
I have had one for just over a year now and I can definitely see the appeal, nothing ever goes wrong with them ( comparative to my previous scooter a Royal Alloy) they are very well made.
I have a BMW f800r and want a scooter as I love riding 1 but I've been put off a vespa because of how quickly they rust. It's way overdue that they should be aluminium especially for how much they cost
I have 1997 Gilera Runner SP50, and it still leaves in dust new Vespas like this, even with 125ccm engine. Old quality, durability and two stroke power is unmatched today!

People are always comparing Vespa to motorcycles, especially when deciding whether or not to buy one. Vespa is not a motorcycle. It was never a bicycle in it's history. A Vespa is something else.
I still have my PX125e I bought new in 1984. I had it repainted and refurbished 4 years ago. The mechanic said the engine was still fine, after 36000 miles, and all he did was put in a new clutch plate while he had it out. It's a 2 stroke with Autolube, and I carry a spare wheel, which can be fitted in 5 minutes. It has never broken down.
Timeless is what you call that vespa became successful and very famous around the world. No other scooter can beat vespa in terms of performance and quality. I love vespa
About to buy Vespa one day, but i thought about it again, and i decided to go with Honda PCX, it's worth for value for money, and more features, easier to maintain.
Amazing to see a product that originally went for a few hundred dollars, that now can sell for up to $8,000 dollars. They must be doing many things right.
I rode my first Vespa-AKA Sears Allstate in 1968. It was the first motorcycle I’d ever ridden & I it was great fun! I wish I had one for my retirement.
I’m getting a scooter from vespa I’m getting a primavera 150 and I’m so excited I’ve watched so many videos and I’ve practiced on a motorcycle for a few years so I feel I am ready 😁

Vespa's are one of the most common scooters here in the Netherlands among young people, it's a way to show off that you have a lot of money.
It's the same in India too. If you own a Vespa, that means you or your parents are loaded.
strange to hear, in Italy they're so common and pretty affordable
in Indonesia it's a way to show how broke you are, lol.
They are cheap...
in the philippines i've never seen one
Owning a Vespa is for sure in my bucket list.
I have a beautiful vintage vespa of 1967 and I ride it everyday, vespa is simply the best. Sono fiero di essere italiano, investite sempre nell’italia
Ehiii, sai parlare l'italiano anche te! È Bello vedere dei Italiani quà veramente, anche come stai?
Comunque sia per i materiali sia per la bellezza le vespe d' epoca sono inbattibili

Why would you sell it?
