Actually i like to own a vintage vespa but it's a bit too expensive to buy, repair and modify it. I ask one shop at ubi, they said a simple modify + repair cost $1000 - $2000. Somemore the price exclude the vespa. With this money, i rather i throw it on my NSR150SP.
But is the above price for a vintage vespa too expensive? Anyone know any shop that sell vespa and modify it to vintage style at a lower price?

This is a 1 shot kinda thing ma.After doing up ur Vespa, the maintenance will b negligible. U can service ur bike once a yr n it’ll cost u only 20 bucks.

RAIDER SG

Alternatively, u can purchase an old Vespa n do it up over the causeway at a fraction of the price here.

dgp SG

yup dats rite..
got a frd bought over a Av plate vespa for 500 bucks spend around another 1.8k. with rewiring, repaint, chged to air horn, chg the pipe, add a few chrome bars... now tip top condition cos vespa mantainence very cheap

Vintage scooter are around that price Smile I got mine with new COE,paintwork,vintage body, engine do up, total up to around $4k. It hard to say why some will spend so much money on a scooter rather than on a NSR SP..But i can tell u it somethng abt IDENTITY..it s0mthng not as commonly seen. But i prefer simple classic scooters..not those with all the chrome brackets around..

dgp SG

yup i do agree its hard to explain why some would spend so much on their scoot. there is no right or wrong... it depends on your interest. when i ride my scoot ard and strangers just walk up to you and praise your bike u jus feel real good...

newbieker SG

actually i think my engine really got probs cos that time i bring go ah joo there for engine overhaul but he actually charge me 800++ without even servicing it!!i only knew it today cos i went e workshop at tamp he open up show me all e thick oil & grime which he say impossibe to have so much if i overhaul 2 mtns ago!!!anyway he charge me 350 change piston piston ring bearings any others that might be spoilt including workmanship so i need opinion whether issit cheap not??

RAIDER SG

Ur other bike RS250 rite?

newbieker SG

>>>>>>>>actually i agree with dgp that its better to go get a old 1 then remodel and overhaul it all e way to ur personnel liking...to think that my px200 which i bought at 1st really look like 1 from e junkyard at only 680 but in the end spent 2500++ doing for it to look stylo milo!!i get to choose wat colour i want,wat asserories to put on and so on....its really fun although u must be really patient if not like me at 1st kana cheated by e ah joo shop at ubi...so far only whitephamton & raider had saw my junkyard vespa & 'new' vespa so u must have faith that if u r willing to put in $$$ sure can make it super chio 1!!!

newbieker SG

>>>>>hey can all give ur support & suggestions in e new topic which i’ve posted??”how to protect urself from dishonest workshops??”
