“Not a bad scooter, with all Vespas though, you are paying for the brand.
If you're looking for an affordable reliable scooter to get you around town, and don't mind sitting on the back of a 'Transformer' then I'd look at a [insert well known Japanese brand here].
For me, I've always loved the look of Vespas from the vintage 2-strokes to the modern 'twist-n-gos'. So I had to own one, regardless of price.
The bike has a few niggles, like occasionally cutting out at idle... something which no garage has managed to fix as of yet. Other than that it's pretty powerful for a 125 and I comfortably commute from London to Farnborough and Reading on it.
That and you get the occasional compliment from people at petrol stations. ;-).”
