I am looking at a Piaggio Fly 150. As I understand it has a Vespa motor. I am just wondering if anyone has some thoughts or experiences with them.

What year? Before 2007 they were built in Italy, after that they were built by Zongshen in China. No difference from what I've heard and a great scooter to have.

This guy specializes in salvage for all brands. I bought a scooter from him and it worked as advertised. I've been tempted to buy one of his Vespas and see if I could make a go of it. www.salvagescooters.comYou could try him. |

I guess this one is not in the cards for me. I made an offer and he ended up selling it to someone he had talked to a few days earlier. Reviews and such looked good on these.
