We can call it a forum game...
The one on the right is a Vespa, in Switzerland. Any guesses based off this pic alone?

Whatever it is, it's the Yamaha C3's grandparent...

If it was forced to mate with an Igloo coolers, then their progeny were cross-inbred, maybe.

I kinda like the slight curve at the bottom of the front fender. What is it?

I won't reveal until I find out if my earlier guesses were right!
Clues: It's European, but not Italian or German. The company made cars before the 20th century. They experimented with hybrids in the early 20th century and built electrics during WWII. The first version of this scooter looks like a Cushman/Harley Topper hybrid.

I remember seeing one of those before at a local vintage car show! I can't remember what it was though. Boo, I lose.

Bajaj Priya/VBA clone?
Bajaj sort of mixed & matched pieces of many different Vespa models!

I dunno but it's really cool.
It's ugly enough to be British but my WAG that it was a Triumph Tigress was obviously wrong.
As to the first pic, I dunno about the scoot but the Sportster is apparently a Custom and pre-84 since it has a carb.
