Vespa LX150 Review (S150 Owner's Review)

[@robertroullard1963]

My 2014 LXVie has 2,000 miles,perfect condition, well kept. Rode it 40 miles home from where I bought it. I have three other scooters, a 2009 Kymco people 50,a 2018 Kymco like 150i,and a 2022 Yamaha zuma 125. Love them all. I'M 72 years old and have ridden minibikes,motorcycles and scooters for over 60 years. Just subscribed to your channel. Keep it up!

Thanks very much. I wish the early fuel injected 150s were more common here, they're so ideal for a Vespa and priced right. Thanks for stopping by and subscribing.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

A really good honest fair recap of the pros and cons. Great job!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks Eric! I really enjoyed this bike a lot. Wanted to try to put all the knowledge I gathered on it over the years into one resource for future potential owners. Probably won't be the most interesting video for most riders, but hopefully it helps the right person in the future!

[@The.void.itself]

Really dig your videos! I just saw you boulevard m50 and immediately subbed!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Lol thanks so much I appreciate that

[@shano81]

Nice job on the running light turn signal mod!

[@YouMotorcycle]

Thanks so much. I think it really helped with safety and made the bike look sharper.

[@chrishall4727]

did you make a video about the front turn signal mod? I just got a 2009 S150 for christmas. thanks for your videos @@YouMotorcycle

[@HarleysDinersRides]

Thanks for the review, did not know much about the bike, Thanks

[@YouMotorcycle]

You should grab one man. Might be a nice little change for you! Lol

Love the Pooch ! Growing up our family dog (French poodle) made it to 21 human years old - they don't make them like her anymore !

[@YouMotorcycle]

Wow, that's amazing. Poodles have some good genes! Thanks Ralph.

[@michaelking4578]

Great video. Quick question: I'm confused about the GTS300. Is the suspension on that good or not good?

[@YouMotorcycle]

It's much better than on the S/LX

[@smftfilms9423]

Hey I’m wondering where I can get body panels for the Vespa

[@YouMotorcycle]

After calling and emailing a few Vespa dealers I happened to find some "new old stock" on ebay that were never installed.

[@benleblanc3618]

Awesome clock

[@YouMotorcycle]

Listening to it right now lol thanks again

[@FreedomRider1982]

💯👍

[@YouMotorcycle]

😀👌

[@samhalsey5051]

On the other hand, the belt doesn’t get sunlight, rocks etc… it’s more protected😊😊

[@YouMotorcycle]

Sure, more protected, but less strong than the belt you see on cruisers and some street bikes which last 50,000+ miles

[@robertroullard1963]

Just bought a LXV150 ie,round headlight,fuel injection. Future classic?

[@YouMotorcycle]

Great question! TBD! But maybe 🤔

[@robertroullard1963]

Can you tell me how to open front compartment?

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@robertroullard1963 push the key in, then with the key still in the off position, push the key in. You can find it in your owner's manual which you can get a digital copy of from Piaggio 's support site if you don't have a physical copy

[@robertroullard1963]

Thank you! Will try per your instructions, I'm hoping the owner's manuel is in the compartment!

[@robertroullard1963]

Got into the front compartment, now have manuel and original tool kit.thank you!

[@Theophilus1968]

I can’t make up my mind between a Vespa 150 or a Honda Super Cub 125. 🤪

[@YouMotorcycle]

Both are great options and I wouldn't fault you for either to be completely honest. We can't get the new Super Cub in Canada for some reason but I am excited to test one when they do arrive.

[@YouMotorcycle]

Where/how do you intend on using it?

[@Theophilus1968]

@@YouMotorcycle I’m about a mile from work, two miles from the grocery store and farmers market and three miles from church. I have a BMW g650gs that also gets great fuel mileage but I’ve always wanted a scooter. Finally, I have two high school boys that eventually want to ride a motorcycle.

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@Theophilus1968 god I love the g650gs! Sounds like either bike would be fine. Just avoid a 50cc scooter!

[@Theophilus1968]

@@YouMotorcycle keep up the good work. Love your channel.

[@EnduroEspresso]

The Vespa will NOT fit 2 full face helmets it will fit 1 half helmet and if you have a cargo box one more half helmet

[@YouMotorcycle]

My Vespa S150 would definitely fit two full face helmets. My Arai under the seat and my passenger's ICON in the top case. But her ICON would not fit under the seat.

[@EnduroEspresso]

MY Vespa lx150 does not fit an adult full face in either space. Believe it or not. Maybe Canadian heads are smaller

[@YouMotorcycle]

@@EnduroEspresso I don't know about that, but I know cheap helmets are larger. Hence why the size L hand made Arai helmet fits but the size S icon helmet doesn't. What helmet are you using?

[@EnduroEspresso]

@@YouMotorcycle that’s a great point. I do have a giant head, I use a cheap helmet, HRC. I will buy a Schuberth one day.. the most comfortable helmet I’ve ever tried on..

[@YouMotorcycle]

Glad we could solve your mystery
