This is the reason for my price reduction from what I believe is the actual/comparable value Both tanks have minor leaks. I have had them re-soldered and sealed twice but 50+ years of metal fatigue has caused continued leaking. Exact reproduction metal tanks are available from several sources. New tanks need to be added before any long distance riding. There are some paint and chrome scars. The bike was dropped when loading onto a trailer and sustained some minor scratches on front fenders, handlebars, and crash bars. There are also some minor paint nicks from transport and storage. More pics available detailing damage. $25,000.00 9163161069

Usually at press intros, we all know what other model(s) could be considered competition, but it’s very rare to have the host manufacturer come out and say it.

Piaggio Slashes Vespa LX125 Prices in India to Bolster Slow Sales

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Piaggio launched its Vespa scooter brand at last January’s Indian Auto Expo to much fanfare but sales have fallen short of expectations. The Vespa LX125 launched in Indian showrooms in April as the first new Vespa scooter offered in the country in 13 years, but Piaggio has only sold about 25,000 units.
