r/Vespa

After a few weeks of tinkering here and there finally got the project back together. Polini 130, jasil cut crank, 4 speed gearbox conversion, 27/69 primary gears, all new seals and bearings, polini manifold and a 24mm pwk. Did a light bit of flowing but didn't wanna go to overboard. Fingers crossed should go like a rocket, anyone got any ideas of speed to be expecting?

I have my Vespa PK75S. I currently have a NISA seat which looks great but I want the seat to be much more comfy. I’m after the most comfortable seat that will be compatible with my Vespa model.

I like black as I like that colour for the accessories. I could stretch to a dark brown but it would have to be one sexy seat for me to change colour. But the only purpose of this change is that I want it to be super super comfy. I like leather ideally.

Here are some pics of my Vespa

Hi guys, how do you remove this speedometer bezel from the neck cover? idk whats the plate thing called but its so inconvenient to remove

Piaggio Vespa Bravo, 1997 or 98. Called the number and they said they'd sell for $800 negotiable. How good of a price is it? Is it rare? It's in pretty good condition but I'm also not reaalyyyyyy in the market for a Vespa

Just picked up my first Vespa — a 2025 GTS 310 SuperSport in Grigio Travolgente (Titanium Grey) — and holy shit, I absolutely love this thing.

I mainly bought it for commuting between Jersey City and NYC, so I wanted something practical, nimble, and easy to live with in the city.
But the power… oh my God. 😂

Coming from a smaller ‘25 Liberty 150 S (which was sadly stolen after 10 days) I was not expecting the 310 to feel this strong. Twist the throttle and it just goes. Still feels incredibly manageable around town, but now there’s actually some serious punch when I want it.

And I can’t stop looking at it. The Titanium Grey with the SuperSport details just looks so damn good.

I’ve owned big 650-1000cc motorcycles before, but there’s something about this Vespa that already feels different. Practical enough to commute on every day, but still feels like I bought myself a toy.
Anyway… first Vespa and I’m absolutely obsessed. I love this more than any motorcycle I’ve owned and ridden! I totally get the obsession now! 🛵🔥

Ride safe everyone!

Well, it’s finally time for my Vespa’s maintenance, and while it’s sitting on the lift, I couldn’t help wondering: is it really as good as it is popular?
I bought mine purely because of the design — and honestly, the design is amazing. I think that part is pretty obvious 😄 Before the Vespa, I had Japanese scooters, and after about a month of ownership, once the initial excitement wore off, I started noticing some downsides. Here’s my top five:
Mine is a 2022 model, and pretty much every Japanese scooter from those years already has keyless ignition. Meanwhile, Vespa says hello from the ’90s with a regular key.
The storage under the seat is really small. Even an average-sized laptop doesn’t fit, and neither does a full-face helmet. That’s actually pretty inconvenient.
There’s no separate frame — the steel body itself is the load-bearing structure. That wouldn’t bother me, but some of the plastic parts that touch the metal tend to squeak and creak. It’s especially noticeable around the seat and the glovebox/leg-shield compartment.
The rubber grips are slightly thicker than what I’m used to on most motorcycles and scooters. I have small hands, so reaching and comfortably using the brake levers is honestly not that convenient.
And finally, maintenance and spare parts. Everything seems to cost almost exactly twice as much as comparable Japanese scooters.
At the time of writing, it has around 5,000 km on the odometer. When we bought it, we suspected the mileage might have been rolled back a little, but I doubt the real mileage is more than 10,000 km.
I’d really like to hear from other Vespa owners. What has your experience been like?
Maybe I just got unlucky with mine?

A bit old but I’m in love

Three times on hot days my oil plug has come out on its own, I didn't know anything until I felt hot oil spitting on my left leg! It's plastic, and it's not cracked. Does anyone know why this happens?

Just wanted to share my happiness with random strangers of the internet, that have common likes as me 😄

Never had a motorcycle/scooter before, riding a car through traffic always felt super tight and cluttered. So I took the decision on transitioning to 2 wheels and I couldn't be happier and more comfortable. It's just so easy to maneuver myself through traffic (even though I still don't have the confidence to pass cars ahead), and the wind in my face while driving it is priceless.

With that said, any tips more experienced riders have for me? From ways to behave in traffic to maintenance of this matte finished baby?

Also, more specifically, any recommendation on how to have it locked in order for it to be harder to get stolen while I'm not around? For example, if I go to work, I park it, any recommendation of locks that specifically fit the Primavera 125 Officina 8 Vespa?

Thank you in advance everyone, drive safe!
