Anybody ride a Vespa? [I Ride a Scooter]

Anybody ride Vespa here? They have 50cc which cute but seem slow for downtown and also 150cc which seem faster. My riding just downtown and to the park and beach. I am 5’ and 105lbs.

I have to tell this story about my older brother.

I went to visit him while he was preparing to move.
I hadn't seen him in awhile and saw he had a Vespa in his garage.

Me: Oh wow you got a Vespa.
Him: Oh man I love it. Watch this.

He fired it up. Warmed up for a short bit and took off down his street as fast as he could.

Well, I'm not sure what his plan was, but I'm sure his plans changed when he went to spin the backend around at full speed and hit a patch of gravel at the same time. It slid out from under him about 20 feet away.

He jumped up, got back on it and rode to where I was watching from.

Me: WOW COOL!!!
Him:Shut up!

I've seen some. They look good. Tbh I think they're best suited for women and for short rides in the city.

@CharleyKham23 It's really zippy in city traffic. With the small engines, the fuel economy is good too. So in short, really practical.
CharleyKham23 · 22-25, F
They say 100mpg @Beatbox34
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@CharleyKham23 Sounds about right. Tbh it should've been more. Fuel injection could be a culprit along with the automatic gear changes.

CharleyKham23 · 22-25, F
Not yet. I like Vespa 150cc Sean Wotherspoon but the salesman make me uncomfortable. I might buty one this summer. @jackson55

Not personally, although over here being the country of origin they're quite common. Those tiny wheels scare me 😣

I rode one occasionally in my late teens and early twenties. It was 150 cc and belonged to a neighbor.

Do you ride it naked ?
DownTheStreet · 51-55, M
@CharleyKham23 Hurry nudie!
CharleyKham23 · 22-25, F
I would not ride naked. Too risky. Just because a guy say dare. @DownTheStreet
DownTheStreet · 51-55, M
@CharleyKham23 do it for us all
Italians are masters of art and style. But they don’t always master engines. Vespas are cute, but like the Fiat you might have to say, “Fix it again Tony” more often than you’d like

Not for many many years.

Never owned one but a few friends have owned them in the past and I've ridden on the back
