Vespa All description

For sale is a restored 1966 Vespa VBC Super 150.

The scooter was restored around 2010 (repainted, rebuilt motor, etc) and has been sitting in a garage, unused, until 3/01/16.  Since then it's been used every weekend (riding it to the store, etc) and I've put around 250 miles on it.  

To get it running after sitting for so long it needed some work, see below (all work was performed by Massimo's Vespa Shop in Costa Mesa), and now it starts on the first kick.

-New fork bearing kit (lower + upper)
-New speedometer gear and cable
-New fuel tap and hose
-New spark plug
-Cleaned gas tank
-Cleaned and jetted carb (new float, new float cover, new conical needle and new gasket)
-New front brake cable
-Safety inspected brakes and tires
-Newer JL exhaust (aftermarkt)
-Newer low profile seat (aftermarket) - I have the mount for the buddy seat if you prefer that setup

Having been in Venice for the past few months the chrome has some rust spots.  It's hardly noticeable except for the spare and the front shocks/spring.

The Vespa is listed locally on Craigslist so I may end the auction early.

What Does a Vespa Smell Like?

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

You can always tell you’re looking at a Vespa-issued press photo because it looks like it came from a fashion shoot rather than a media kit for a scooter. Just look at the images above from the official Vespa Primavera press kit. Of course, this is all part of Vespa’s brand identity, appealing to styish young urbanites more likely to read GQ than Motortrend.

2023 Vespa GTV First Look

A Vespa icon gets a makeover With its distinctive “faro basso” (low headlight), the Vespa GTV has been turning traditionalist heads since 2006. Today, in Milan, the 2023 Vespa GTV was unveiled. While retaining the profile that put the vintage into the GTV, it has clearly been updated to modern standards.
