Thinking of buying a second hand Vespa 150cc

[rocketman1]

I am thinking of buying a Vespa 150cc scooter.

Are they worth the extra cost over other scooters?
Is there anything I should check out prior to purchasing?
Do they have any particular issues.


Thanks in advance.

Go to Modern Vespa (http://http://modernvespa.com/forum/) and do a search, you'll find lots of info there.

Can't be good support for Vespa.
Think I will go with a Yamaha instead.

In my opinion, go for brand new if you are not mechanic. it depends on how old for scooter some part can be expensive

Vespas are cool.

Yamahas are not.

Priced accordingly.

Resale second hand accordingly.

Both are reliable.
