V5C LOG BOOK IN MY NAME

12 MONTHS MOT

VERY RELIABLE

I HAVE USED THIS DAILY ON MY 30 MILE COMMUTE AND IT EASILY KEPS UP WITH THE TRAFFIC ON DUEL CARRAGEWAYS EVEN WITH ME AT 17 STONE AND 6'3.   70 MPH+

QUICK ACCELERATION AND VERY STABLE

FULL TANK OF PETROL IS AROUND £8 AND WILL DO 150 MILES DEPENDING ON SPEEDS YOU ARE DOING

CHEAP INSURANCE

THE ORIGINAL SPEEDO DISPLAY WAS IN KM (IT IS A UK BIKE) SO I CHANGED THE SPEEDO DISPLAY TO MILES. BUT LEFT THE SPEEDO (DISTANCE READING) TO PREVENT IT SHOWING THE WRONG MILEAGE.   BASICALLY THE SPEED SHOWS IN MILES BUT IT INCREASES IN KMS ON THE CLOCK.   IT CURRENTLY SHOWS AS 32. 00KMS WHICH IS AROUND 20. 00MILES. MAY RISE SLIGHTLY.

WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2012 IT HAS BEEN POORLY RATTLE CAN SPRAYED IN DARK BLUE.   AFTER TWO WEEKS AND A LOT OF T-CUT. I GOT IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL COLOUR.   THE PICTURES SHOW HOW GOOD SHE NOW LOOKS

THE WHEELS ARE GLOSS BLACK

THE ENGINE CASING IS GLASS BLACK

THE UNDERSIDE HAS BEEN SEALED WITH BLACK HAMMERITE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ET VESPA'S AND BEING METAL FRAMED THEY CAN RUST UNDERNEATH. SO UNDERSEALED TO PREVENT THIS

FEW SMALL SCRATCHES FROM PREVIOUS KEEPS BUT NOTHING MAJOR

STEERING LOCK WORKS FINE

ALWAYS STARTS FIRST TIME ON THE ELECTRIC START. THERE IS ALSO A KICK START FOR REASURANCE IF THE BATTERY FAILS

THE "GLOVE BOX" IN FRONT OF KNEES WAS PAINTED SILVER BUT THIS IS NOW WEARING OFF.   THIS HAS BEEN LOCKED SHUT DUE TO THE HINGE BREAKING AND NO LONGER OPENS.   NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM AS THE STORAGE CAPACITY WA VERY LITTLE

REAR LUGGAGE CARRIER. GLOSS BLACK.   CAN HAVE BACK BOX FITTED.

LARGE UNDER SEAT STORAGE. SEAT OPENS ON THE SAME KEY AS IGNITION

ALL LIGHTS. HORN ALL SWITCHES WORK AS THEY SHOULD

THERE IS A SIDE STAND AND A CENTRE STAND

IT IS A LEGAL LEARNER. WITH CBT IT CAN BE RIDDEN ON "L" PLATES

MAINTAINED REGARDLESS OF COST

NEW PISTON AND BARREL IN 2012 JUST AFTER PURCHASE. DUE TO PREVIOUS KEEPER DRILLING AN EXHAUST BOLT OT AND GOING THROUGH TO THE PISTON!?!?! NOW SORTED OUT

NO SMOKE OR STRANGE NOISES

THESE ARE WELL MADE METAL BODIED SCOOTERS. NOT LIKE THE CHEAP CHINESE ONES.  

IT IS VERY WELL WEIGHTED AND CAN BE RIDEN SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC OR KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC ON "A" ROADS AND LEGALLY ON MOTORWAYS.   LEANS WELL ON CORNERS

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A HAIRDRYER AND GOES LIKE A SMALL MOTORBIKE.   I HAVE HAD OTHER SCOOTERS AND MOTORBIKES IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VESPA. BUT IT STILL MAKES ME SMILE WHEN IT ZIPS THROUGH TRAFFIC.

IT IS ALSO ADVERTISED PRIVATELY LOCALY FOR £850. SO MAY END EARLY.  

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK. I HAVE TRIED TO COVER EVERYTHING

COLLECTION ONLY FROM LOUGHBOROUGH LE11 5. 5 MILES FROM M1 J24.   OR COULD BE COLLECTED FROM MY WORK PLACE IN LEICESTER CITY CENTRE LE1 3.
