[@terrylee3788]

Good luck on your trip. Great looking Vespa.

[@garthmccarthy4572]

So beautiful. Great work and inspirational video. Thank you guys

[@trippontwowheels]

Best of luck on your trip Kevin! It was great meeting you last month during my trip to Vespa Motorsport. Hopefully you'll upload some videos along the way so we can follow you on your journey. -Tripp

[@ianasbiorn8657]

Good luck Kevin! You did a great job on that PX!

[@irishrover63]

Great to see you here Ian, where are those Scomadi videos? Loving the Vespa GTS at the moment. Honda CB500X is getting neglected. :)

[@ianasbiorn8657]

@@irishrover63 i have stopped vlogging at the moment! Looking forward to seeing you out and about on the GTS! Always loved this channel.

[@irishrover63]

I have stopped also mate. Just can't get motivated at the moment. Commute between the GTS and CB400SF at the moment.

[@stevewhite791]

Awesome. I have a 1995 LML Vespa 150. Like that color and set up 👍

[@VespaPortland]

Hell yeah, Kevin! Have a good ride.

[@scottanderson9656]

So great. Good luck at the rally!

[@philmakesnoise]

Any more tips / thoughts on those mirrors? I wouldn't mind setting up something similar on my stella.

[@irishrover63]

Different video Jeff, but all good and I would love to take part in an event like that. At first I though he was riding from Lake Geneva, Switzerland to Wisconsin. Lol Great restoration job and we wish him luck. 👍🤖

[@dionmoore879]

Great video, The possibilities are crazy. Maybe you guys should post Kevin's travel progress here on You Tube.

[@RK-ib9oo]

Can you add a video on how you wired up that LED headlight . I have the same one and not quite sure how.

[@stuhollyhead4294]

I've just restored and rebuilt a non battery p200e but if I connect horn it paps constantly but if I disconnect the horn and touch the wires together all lights work then and indicators etc as they should but only when horn wires are together... Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊

[@c7uk]

Great stuff 👍 Didn’t you consider the SIP speedo with built-in rev counter and head temperature? It’s a nice kit, especially as it also has 2 trip counters and a clock. Good luck on your road trip - 20k miles is a hell of a ride - I’ve only managed 50k miles TOTAL on my PX200 since I bought it new!

[@vespamotorsport253]

I did consider it but wanted to keep it looking stock and keep the cost down. Much of the hardware and trim was reused after a considerable amount of elbow grease. -KS

[@c7uk]

Vespa Motorsport - fair, although the SIP unit does look pretty stock. I fitted one because I couldn’t get hold of a decent stock unit for a reasonable price after mine broke

[@fabs1565]

@@c7uk how good does your gas gauge work though?

[@c7uk]

Fabs 15 - it’s accurate in as much that it only has ‘quarter tank’ increments. When the light comes on I know I can still get home from work and then fill up. Funnily enough, a broken fuel gauge on my stock unit is what prompted the replacement

[@BOYVIRGO666]

I would really love to know what the price range for this kind of restoration runs. Because its just fascinating.

[@vespamotorsport253]

Bike was $800.00 , Trim is coming in around $700.00. Accessories $300.00 w/o GPS and modified front rack. Paint was $1200.00 but I did most of the prep to save on time. A good paint job is usually in excess of $2000.00 front suspension and brakes are about $300.00. Building the motor was well over 2,400.00. We'll let you do the math but over $5000.00 not counting the countless hours spent fitting and fettling. -KS

[@BOYVIRGO666]

@@vespamotorsport253 Huh thats not horrible for what your trying to do. I kinda expected to hear a higher number. I dont have the expertise to do this kind of work. Would love to but man shop time to pay someone else would be pricey.

[@wileecoyote5749]

Buy 1 already done.

[@BOYVIRGO666]

@@wileecoyote5749 I plan to once i have that kind of money liquid. Iv been after an SS 180 for years but they never get sold in los angeles

[@wileecoyote5749]

@@BOYVIRGO666 I sold my 62 Lambretra TV 175 III about 8 years ago for $3,200. I had much more than that in her. Don't try to find 1 for 2K. They are out there, just have to pay. Trust me it's worth buying one done already.

[@AdamRBusby]

would love to see the extra fuel tanks enclosed or wrapped in something.. exhaust heat wrap would suit the fawn colour :)

[@vespamotorsport253]

That is a great idea! Might employ it down road. Thank you. -KS

[@pauldeary]

Cool head light, where did you buy that? Cheers and good luck.

[@vespamotorsport253]

The head light is a sample that we are testing. Watch our website or sign up for our email blasts. We'll let you know if we have a winner in this unit. - KS

[@scottanderson9656]

How were you able to register the bike in CA being that it probably hadn't been registered in ages?

[@vespamotorsport253]

Scooter already had the registration in place from many moons ago. A 2 stroke registered in CA is truly rare.

[@tonyciantar6417]

You mentioned someone riding a modern vespa around, but I didn't catch the name, a link would have been nice. Also a link for this ride as not being in the U.S pronunciation can make it hard for some of us to get the spelling right.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Karen Shneider is the other rider mentioned. She's a customer of ours that's got THOUSANDS of miles logged on her vespas. The other race mentioned is the Cannonball.
