My New Toy (hypa - Look Here!)
 

Well, all it took was a 7 hour post on Craigslist and my 2006 Yamaha Vino 49cc scooter was sold to some major hot milf.

24 hours fast foward (today) I ended up finding a 1983 Vespa Piaggio P200E for sale on Craigslist. I won't say for how much but it was a steal. Yes, it's a little old, ugly (hella ugly infact) but I was looking exactly for a vintage Italian Vespa Piaggio and this was perfect.

It needs a bit of work starting from some new gaskets, transmission cruciform, exhaust and clutch/brake cables but other than that, the paint has got to go and some minor cosmetic changes here and there. My goal is to restore it throughout the summer and winter to be ready for the riding season of 2007.

Here are some photos and yes, they look like crap and in real life, yes, it looks like crap. Here are some specs from the Vespa Piaggio:

Kickin' it old schooooool

oh shit.. Green.. now thats cool..

You finally got your Vespa. Congrats, Mike.

120 km/h!!!!

This is the stock Italian green found in a lot of Vespas in Europe. I personally think it's fugly so the colour's got to go. I was thining of a flat silver to keep the vintage Vespa look.

that thing is pimp

Hahaha that is pimp!

I saw a bunch of those while I was in Spain. Scooters over there are sooooo popular.

That seat looks hella comfy.

:o I was hoping to see some sexy sportbike pictures

wow 200CC hahah have fun

ahh, the Vespa.
A design that hasn't changed in over 50 years. Yours is Takata green too!
:lol

She's bored for good torque and short stroke will have some revability (is that a word?). Plus 200cc, and Italian styling will ensure you will be kicking it with the ladies.

Just don't rev on any Harley guys.
:lol

that green has got to go, the silver like you mentioned would look really good. i120kmh top speed is crazy

that green is wicked... keep it!

That will come next year, asian_XL. ;)

You consider painting it gold. I think that would be hella pimp.

Sooo...did bcrdukes just come out of the closet with this thread? :D

Just kidding.

Chrome it out and g ride it!

any pictures of this 'super hot milf'? :D

that looks soo pimp !

I wish! She was really hot for a mid-30 year old woman. Nice tanned skin, awesome rack - the whole nine yards!

So let me get this straight (play on words?)...................You considered getting a sport bike, then end up buying this........................riiiiiiiiiiight.

^ i guess he finally understands he need to practice more a little bit before getting a sportbike... haha

50cc -> 125cc -> ??cc -> 600cc

the bike looks good btw

You're on the right track but the Vespa has NOTHING to do with getting a sportbike. The Vespa was something I've always wanted a piece to call my own. In the end, it's not just a scooter - it's a lifestyle (not homosexual/gay etc.) :p

$1200 for that?
is that expensive?
how much do they go for new?

oh that's cute, but you'll never see me in one :D

looks cool
