@davide9309 Non c'è più religione... ormai bisogna semplificare tutto... un tempo si imparava a andare con le marce ma adesso no, bisogna solo dare gas... Questa vespa è uno scooter...

[valerio955]

@davide9309 La strada, soprattutto in campo moto, ormai è popolata da emeriti idioti, ormai tutti gli scooter possiedono variatori per facilitare l'utilizzo a chi ne è meno avvezzo.

[TheTeeWorldsfreak]

Verry beautiful!

[BabeCrazzz]

Try BAN, MOD GIRLS, fantastic tune and cool scooters!

[Thruxton8]

I love these scooters, bullet proof engines, good solid chassis and a timeless classic which will still look stylish and beautiful 50 years from now (a little like Sophia Loren) When all the other scooters have been thrown in the garbage this little Vespa will be still going strong.

Still, I wish Piaggio would make a LX S 200 (air cooled) This would have the right power and the perfect size. The GT's are too big and heavy for scooters, they weigh just as much as some medium sized motorcycles

[rakuchina]

You own one?

[thecassinista93]

E QUESTA E' LA MIA NAZIONEEEEE!!!!!!!:D:D:D....Ah­ahahah....No non è che sto sclerando eh!!xD...è che c'è la vespa, uno dei simboli dell'italia, e poi sta canzone, che si addice stra tantooo!!!:):)...hihihi

[Piaggio94]

Qualcuno che ragiona...

[Koukitoo26]

this is 50cc? how much does it cost.. ?? thnxx

[rakuchina]

About $3,199 USD for the Vespa S 50.

But there is a promo until end of September '09 that will take $500 off the $4,199 sticker price of the S 150. I would get the S 150!

[Koukitoo26]

is there a 50cc ?? if yes then how much does it cost... thnx =]

[Piaggio94]

New Vespa S 50/125 SUCKS!!! W Vespa Special 4gear of '70 's year!!!

[simosera]

Do you like our italian products? Me too. W l' ITALIA

[rakuchina]

Well, yes!  Most Italian products, especially scooters.

[NoopySist]

no i don t think so. the seat is comfortable --> not so hard......

[rakuchina]

Are you an owner, or did you try it in the showroom?

[NoopySist]

I tried it in a showroom, 'cause i was searching for a scooter

[rakuchina]

Which scooter did you end up with?

[JCBlackBladeTT]

Great scooter! It's one of my choises to buy a scooter!

[rakuchina]

Does any owner of the Vespa S think that the seat is way too hard? I sat on it a few times and thought that it was surprisingly hard, and somewhat uncomfortable.

Let me know...

[jamierourketen]

i agree,it was hard,i ended up buyi a vespa gtv 125 instead!

[rakuchina]

I settled for the MP3 500, the seat is sooooo soooft :)

Still think the "S" is very stylish, though.

[TheAsterisco]

I want the rear reflectors but I don't want to drill the plastic. Does anyone know if it is safe to drill? I would really enjoy those reflectors....

[rakuchina]

What kind of scooter have you got? If it's still under warranty, check with the dealer; otherwise, proceed with utmost caution.

[TheAsterisco]

It's a Vespa S125 but it has no reflectors in the rear or in the front (US vespas usely come with the reflectors). I'm not American but I'd love to have the reflectors. To do so, I'll have to drill tiny holes. I'm not sure if it's worth it of it's safe...

[rakuchina]

Don't drill if you don't want to. Grind the back of reflector flat, then try double-sided adhesive tape such as the 3M for automotive application (sold in auto parts store). Good luck!

[TheAsterisco]

Thank you for your help.

;)

[MON0526]

this is nice but i stil love classic vespa.

[rakuchina]

I agree and who doesn't love a classic. Then again, this is the one is that you can depend on to get you to work; the classic Vespa, however, is the one that you show off on weekends or at rallies and may not be as reliable as a daily commuter.

[icesy3g]

Come buttare via più di 2000€, nn c'è paragone con la mia vespa 50 l del 65, quella si che è veramente una vespa, consiglio a tutti i veri appassionati della vespa di restaurarne una

W vespaaaaaaaaaa

[rakuchina]

You're right, the classic Vespas must be restored. They're great!

[ercisousa]

I'm Portuguese, this vespa is the best thing I have at home! but mine is orange 125cc! is beautiful!

[rakuchina]

Taormina Orange is beautifu! Good for you!

[IgnazZangenfeind]

I am totally fascinated by that rectangular lamp!

[rakuchina]

Yeah, it's very retro and nice. Oughtta get yourself one ;)

[IgnazZangenfeind]

Yes, but the high price and the high wastage of petrol make me hesitate. I will rather resist another year.

[rakuchina]

R U kidding me, it's a scooter, GDI. U can say what u please; but life is short, pal ;)

[filesharedetc]

@IgnazZangenfeind the lamp is very designful, but if you drive at night with the night lamp its to high, you dont light the street, you light the trees or other stuff on the streetside.

[Duco10]

Today I get mine :D At 17:30 it will arriver hereeeee!

[rakuchina]

Congrats on the new scooter and enjoy it safely!

[rakuchina]

Better choice! Did you get it?

[ZhorbE]

I was also going for LX until I saw the S!

Fell in love immediately!

[rakuchina]

The "S" is indeed the "Deluxe LX"! Another good selection :)

[ap0st0lak0s]

nothing is like old vespa 50's-80's but even that is still a vespa and i love it :)

[UktraLord]

love it O.O.......... i am going to school and work after school for money.... but earn not enough... ~.~....

have to wait and save money for one year to have enough to get my darling -.-*

[fbattiato4e]

bellissima!!!!!! i o fra pochi giorni la comprooo!!!

[OlaNosiDeski]

saving money for it at the moment ;)

[piozzo69]

i think new vespa isn't beautiful than old vespa

grt vespa

t5 vespa

50 special vespa

yes we can

[domicarli94siderno]

è molto meglio la lx.......

[rillehector]

I own one. any ideas how to make it go faster than 60km/h?

Cut the blind tube in the exhaust?

I live in Sweden (45km/h speedlimit built in) Had the "proshop" do the usual 45+ mods and at 60 It now drinks 0.2L/km. Lots of smoke, black sparkplug and a full tank of gas lasts me an afternoon. Great looking bike, that's why i bought it, but I hate almost getting hit from behind by everything including the public transportation bus

Greatful for a PM if anyone out there has one and knows what to do.

[odracirseraoseia1999]

I'm considering a Vespa for the city! But I'm not sure about the security of a scooter/motorcycle on a big city. Can anyone share experiences? Thanks!

[rakuchina]

I am guessing theft is your main concern, and then there is vandalism. First, buy comprehensive insurance (it's required here in US if you're getting a loan--that's if you could still get a loan these days :); next get a security system; then always park in a safe place; and finally, always take the keys out. Risks will always be there; but that shouldn't keep you from owning a Vespa once you've done all that's possible to protect your dream.

[rillehector]

Sorry no seatbelt.. You want security you buy a gun and ride the bus. Or buy a modified 1972 Chevy El Camino and dress like the neighbourhood gangster.

[odracirseraoseia1999]

The point of the tone of this remark being...?

[rakuchina]

Yeah, rillehector! Make your point; don't dance around the fire. It ain't cool!

[bobina88]

I don`t know what to say, words are stupid

[rakuchina]

I agree. Meaning gets lost in translation. (Note to self) Must learn Italian.

[bobina88]

I wasn`t talking about the song and the Italian language that I know very good, i was talking about the Vespa, I`m delighted with it :)

[rakuchina]

Glad that you like it:) I like it a lot, too.

[malouda1925]

absolute

flawless

extraordinary

[mokiat]

whats the name of this song ?

[rakuchina]

Read on for title and lyric.

[szarak81]

Essence of Italy ! :)

[buddyboy562]

Iam so getting a Vespa S150 in White! :)

[rakuchina]

Get it, buddyboy! Life doesn't wait for no one!

[pellenovanta]

ragazzi io volevo acquistare una vespa s 125...sono alto 1,86 m come è l'abitabilità? è comoda per andare fuori città come dice cremonini??? grazie :)

[seepower1993]

I've an Vespa S 50 tuned !

he drives like crazy !

[rakuchina]

By popular demand and the magics of Google Translate. I hope this works:

50 Special--music & words: Cesare Cremonini

I

Vespa rigged,'60s

run in the center tapping 90

red fire, the dance begins

arrows with a plate attached behind

II

Give me a Special, the summer progresses

give me a Vespa and we'll turn this into a holiday!

[rakuchina]

The Refrain

But how beautiful it is to go around with the wings under our feet

if you have a Vespa Special you take away the problems

But how beautiful it is to go around the Bolognesi hills

if you have a Vespa Special you take away the problems

Refrain II

School's not going well, but I've got my Vespa I don't have a girl, but I've got my Vespa!

Sunday is already here and will bring me a Vespa

out of town!

[rakuchina]

III

I leave in a hurry, from my room

shifting from the first to fourth

I must make haste, I have to go to a party

make me do a tour first on my Vespa

(repeat II, then Refrain I & II)

Coda

out of town!

(The End)

[dudesweet2006]

ha ha! thanks thats great

[dudesweet2006]

i love this song so much, i wish i knew what was being said. great video

[SuperCivicVti]

Settimana prossima vado a prendere la mia 125bianca!!!!!!!

[rakuchina]

Good for you, SuperCivicVti!

[comeetmarcouille]

cute little thing ;)

[rakuchina]

Well, it's the wave of the future, I guess. Not too bad after you get used to the automatic; plus you can pay more attention to the road and the scoots are less prone to break-down.

[siim0o]

i like the "S" more than the other!

STA VERSIONE è TROPPO FIGA! VINTAGE MA ALL'AVANGUARDIA! peccato vogliano 2,400 euro per il 50ino,ma mi tocca!

[orangetiki]

DROOL!!!! me want

[elTrimonaro92]

il motore + merdoso della galassia

[skypexer2]

ma quanto è bello andare in giro con le ali sotto i piedi....

Figata! ad agosto faccio i sedici e il vespino non melo toglie nessuno

[odracirseraoseia1999]

Does anyone know for sure about the 150cc model? I'm buying a Vespa S 125cc, but if there's a 150cc model coming up I'll wait!

Thanks

[rakuchina]

I heard that for the US market, the 150cc (on website and in catalogs); for EU, the 125cc. Sorry!

--rakuchina

[jethangar]

Like the protective gear she's wearing...'specially the shoes.

[vip305]

la scoula no vaaaaaa una vespa

fouri citta'

[GadJetSLC]

If it's not a manual shift, it's not really a scooter. Wouldn't it be fabulous if Piaggio actually made a new "real" scoot?! We'll always have the classics... & hopefully a new scoot from another company to carry on the tradition modern Vespa is no longer worthy of.

[rakuchina]

I agree with you because I used to hold that view about everything. For example saying things like, driving a stick-shift is real driving. In reality, time marches on and so does progress. On any given day riding to work, for example, I would rather take an MP3 than a somewhat-reliable vintage. I love vintage scoots, don't get me wrong; they bring them out for parades, rallies and beauty contests.

[priofromcomo]

Are you italian raku?

[rakuchina]

Not quite. Although there are times when I wished Texas was part of Italy:)

[cesy92]

mi hai copiato il video

[rakuchina]

The song is "Vespa S" by an Italian pop band called "Luna Pop". It's part of the promotion, I guess. Expected it in the showroom by early 2008 in the form of a 150cc model.

[mt14l]

Nuh the song is 2003 - well before the S

[rakuchina]

It's "50 Special"(new version), man!

[barnett682]

yea whats the music?!!!

[simplyme793]

whats the song name?

[red777photo]

fine scooter, i love it, GO-VESPA

[rakuchina]

You're entitled to your opinion.

[mentorHH]

[linuzzo81]

Vespa number one peccato che non anno fatto il 200 cc !!

[rednat]

Awesome!!!!

[rakuchina]

I don't normally say this, but "I want one sooooo bad!" Are you listening, Piaggio?!
