Not only gts. All steel chassis as well. I regret buying a 2020 primavera. Watching some videos about rust issues. I found rust spots as well underneath and in the battery compartment. Piaggio never do things correctly anymore

[@dexietyy7922]

I got given a 2000 Vespa ET2 I’m currently restoring it and honestly it’s not bad at all for 24 years old the floor pan was very rusty but not rotten suprisingly I saved it! All ground back protected and stone chip painted ontop ready for its base coat next week they definitely don’t make them like that anymore. I see loads of Vespas that are like 6+ years old rotten already crazy!

[@supereibarperformances5503]

Very instructive video. I think this should be playing nonstop on every reputable workshop at the "horror corner" to educate customers.

[@flufflesflamer01]

Wow !! , i noticed you have a bike lift now after trying to source one 👍

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Yup, just had to fork out the money in the end

[@andyarmstrong1493]

No way that rust and bodge weren't apparent at the MOT last July. I would advise the guy to report the MOT station. That did not go from perfect to that in 10 months.

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Totally agree. Some dodgy dealings there I’d guess…

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Thanks, most of us plebs think, current MOT, can't be that bad.@@drunkmunkey6969

[@user-iq8wl9ed3z]

Great video, made me chuckle... Altho it's the seller having the last laugh.!

[@acooper4482]

Feel for the old boy, some pricks sold him a lemon, feel for him. Looks like its a joyride thats been dumped in a stream wi the amount o alloy casing n chassis corrosion.

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Yup, think you’ve summed it up about right.

[@nickmassey9104]

I was looking for the swear counter in the corner of the screen 🤣🤣 Whileever there's a market for cheap stuff cheap stuff will get sold

[@drunkmunkey6969]

I rarely swear in my videos, I don’t see the need. But this one fried my brain. What a piece of shit… 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

At least with the 2T vietbodges of olden days, they made an effort to make it a shiny polished terd. This one? Not so much.

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Yup. This one just screams bodge, nothing subtle about it…

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Best case scenario: get another similar scooter and keep this turd for parts. Having said that, I wouldn't use anything from this but the alternative is give it a sea burial.

[@vespaveloce1924]

It’s shocking really what people will buy. You can’t even say pretty bodywork was hiding the crap underneath! I wouldn’t have the nerve to consider selling that!

[@drunkmunkey6969]

It’s shocking. It just wants scrapping for spares…

[@marcustalman2756]

There are some shit pits out there, love your discription and honestly...

[@connorl7660]

I used to call them the Croydon specials 😂

[@steveflor9942]

A bit knackered.....

[@petersellers8415]

Shocking!

[@stevebgp200]

How sad people are still willing to con people this bad.

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Agree. Absolute wreck, poor bloke…

[@stevebgp200]

@@drunkmunkey6969 the previous time I had a scooter was 1980, it’s changed and not for the better, to many people that think I will have your trousers 👖 down!!!

[@ianbeauchamp9944]

Shameful. Especially ripping off an old chap. Tho the old fella has a responsibility not to buy something so bad.

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Agree

[@ianbeauchamp9944]

I was honestly shocked by the state of it! Someone should be having words in the sellers shell like hearing device!

[@garryinglis4138]

That is bad really bad and very dangerous 😳

[@drunkmunkey6969]

I feel sorry for the bloke who bought it…

[@sheehan102]

I honestly can't belive that, how did it even get an mot?!

[@kamarudinbinhanipah7918]

The title of the video should mention 'Used Scooter'.......I'm surprised at the beginning thinking that's a new one!!!

[@motoguzzicrazy]

Was this used as a boat anchor at one time?

[@drunkmunkey6969]

Looks like it

[@gimmieliberty6514]

that scooter could be fixed up if not for the high price of itaiian scoot parts, a gy6 exhaust , 50 quid, and chinese scoots dont use a monocoque frame, who buys these things from new, the last buyer probably lost the least money

[@Ian-po6gg]

How did it get a MOT?

[@drunkmunkey6969]

I was thinking the same thing…!

[@DimitriTheSaint]

Who the fuck bought this ?

[@drunkmunkey6969]

An old boy, nice old chap, no idea about scooters. Poor fella.

[@bobwalker8907]

whoever sold this I bet was about 17 wearing a tracksuit and had a man bag around his shoulder. I used to repair motorcycles and my grandson bought a pit bike off some chav, he brought it round to me and said the back tyre was flat, I took the tyre off and inside was a pair of jeans!
