Stella Automatics are HERE!!!!

Post by Alexbv200 »

Got our first batch today!
These are actually numbered as they are first edition; pretty cool!
First thing you notice is that there are a LOT of cooling vents on this bike in the front, side and rear of the Stella.
Dash has a different design (see pic), there is now and idle adjustment "screw" coming out from under the seat next to the gas cap, which makes it a whole lot easier than on the Stella Manual 4T!!

The Blue is absolutely STUNNING and so is the Red. The ivory is pretty too, but I am partial to these Metallic colors.
We will get our Demo ready and will report on the ride once it is ready.

The only issue we see with the Stella Auto is the Center stand.
It is much more difficult to put the Stella on the stand than the Manual.
You have to grab under the seat and lift the bike as you put the stand down. it is much closer to the engine than on the Manual, and you need strong legs to put it on the stand. Adding a rear rack or some sort should help tremendously.

So it's carbourated and has a kickstart? I though they were fuel injected. Regardless, it's time for me to start snooping around my local shop.

I can't believe they are still not listed on the Genuine website.

The official launch is this weekend, so maybe after that.

My dealer, Vespa Marietta, just received 3 'Stallattos' yesterday and they will be on display today. Hope to see them when I pick up my TGB R9/sidecar that they are doing some adjustment5s on. :wink:

Yep, saw these at my dealer today. They weren't ready for a test ride but they certainly look good! I want the Blue--but with a brown seat, not black....

Unfortunately, massive vet bills in the past month have put me out of the running for pretty much anything this year.

Since I'm having to sell my 4T (see the for sale forum for details), I'm wishing this was still several months away.

Oh well -- means someone who is willing to shift might get a better deal.

Saw the red one at my dealer yesterday. Looks great!

One of the staff did point out that the idle adjustment is not an independent piece, so if you break it, you need a new carb. Be nice to it :P.

Don't feel too bad. I'm presuming that most riders who purchase 4Ts (or 2Ts for that matter) actually want shifties.
