I love Vespa bikes, but only using a PX 150...
I wish the vintages dont break down that often ...

first of all, thank you for the fav!
Do you own an old vespa?
Also the vintages break often but the advantage is that are simple to repair and in italy we still find a lot of parts

I own 4 PX 150, 1 GTS 250 (new), 1 LX 125 (New), 2 Standards, 1 Sprint.
The PXs are for going to work. They look decently vintage and quite strong. Love the motor sound and its stability.
Standards are hard to maintain, I only use them for Photoshoots.
The Sprint is when I like to stroll around in a windy day. When life is quite "square" if you know what I meant *wink wink*
The GTS is very strong. Little bit too strong for my taste, but I use it when Im late to work.
The LX is when I absolutely need assurance that my bike won't break down in mid way.
The Vintages are troublesome. I dont find many parts here in Asia. But one of my greatest hobby is to buy a skeleton and slowly build it to usable state.
How about you?

u are a collector!!!!
i don't have a vespa, when i was younger my father prohibited me, because he broke his leg with his.
So many years after, i bought and old military matchless 500 colour sand!

I assume the ground is speckled because of the leaves in the way of the sun? Nice.

thank you so much! "vespa" scooter is a symbol of italian design, pratically every man in italy age 50-90 had a " vespa" in his life. It was a cheap way to move in the hard years after world war 2
