This video is not about where a given scooter was manufactured, it is about shoddy restorations/re-creations that evidently come out of Vietnam and how to spot them, as they are scarcely roadworthy.

This scooter is absolutely safe to ride nothing wrong with it.. these are like tanks built to last they will never fall apart no matter what you do to it. I have seen people running it on kerosene and sometimes you can see the whole family of 5 hop on it😅 very common scene on Indian roads, they absolutely do fine 👏👏. These Vespas are made in Asia like India or Vietnam under license. It’s absolutely ridiculous to compare it with Italian Vespa. Vespas and similar indigenous manufactured scooters ruled Indian roads for 35 years and they are reliable trust me. Please stop misguiding people 🙏🙏

great video and fantastic example of an SPS. i had a 97 916SPS were only a few in scotland at the time. i had the marchesini magnesiums which were way too soft for scottish roads full of pot holes. owned it for about 10 years before selling it to pay for a move to switzerland. id done most of the mods youve done but went for AP racing radials rather than brembo. whats the facebook link?

eBay motorsports has a simple return guarantee for such cases. If the buyer isn't happy with the item, they can return it for a full refund. The seller has to take it back. My eBay bike deal was the impetus for that policy change. The seller blatantly falsely advertised their bike as in as-new condition and shipped me a bike that had been dropped and rebuilt multiple times. At the time eBay wouldn't cover it due to their 15 day claim window. That rapidly changed as the seller had agreed to hold the bike for me for a month before delivery precisely to get out of that window. The problem with having such coverage exceptions is that it entices sellers to cut deals with buyers that absolve them of responsibility when the buyer needs additional considerations to complete the purchase, the sellers exploit this much like a zero money down loan. Of course this all depends on the buyer being stupid enough to trust an eBay seller in the first place, but under that perspective nobody should trust an eBay seller. So now the sale conditions are far too tight to allow sellers to get away with such blatant fraud. You have a case where either the buyer approved of the sale before he knew what he had gotten himself into or he has abused the bike after the sale and is blaming its condition on the seller and is using you to generate a case for an eBay complaint. This is the sad fact of life in the online motorsports market now, everyone is trying to pass the buck when they are unhappy. Especially with unnecessary or "investment" style purchases. Bike wasn't as good as advertised, seller was ignorant, buyer claims fraud. Both seller and buyer realize. this is likely to be the general case...both stop dealing on eBay msports. eBay finds the whole idea to be less than helpful to their bottom-line as they end-up floating the whole online market in used parts. Used-parts dealers with brick-and-mortar shops smile and get back to business .

I have been riding vespas and Lambretta since 86. I have/had 6. Since I was 16. I get it. But dude, don't be a gatekeeper. Your just parroting. Most vintage bikes are refurbished. Yes? Yes. Never assume. You end up making an ass put of you and me. Vespa are about as complicated as a lawnmower. Tell me when I am lying. They are not difficult to work on as far as motors. Most scooter mechanics , with your attitude are failed car mechanics and are a bit prideful. There typically self taught or apprenticed under the supervision of someone who was self-taught who never went to school for motorcycles. Every motor cycle mechanic knows this.There lazy and don't want to take on a challenge and overcharge. They don't want a challenge. We both know that. That is one reason why they are typically broke. I have dealt with Scooterville , Go fast Scooters * run by Bruce and Eric fro. P.O.W club , South Bay scooters, Scooter West etc...God bless p.s I still ride. I have a 2020 Royal Alloy as well as a Vespa 150cc 1956 .

If the lift is damaged during transport that is not on Handy. A slightly bowed table top isn't really significant. However, the slack in the lifting frame may be a cause for concern.
@emppowersportsandmarine62704 ай бұрын
A mix of damage from freight and poor construction at Handy. Also, a card board box with no packaging material is not sufficient. They should ship then in a crate, like Ranger does.
