Well, it's not a Stella but for a Stella lover, it's more!

Engine runs awesome, and really pulls with some torque!! Stopping? Eh... not so good. But that has to do with the drum brake in front needing to be adjusted. That and the suspension are the first order of business.
My heart still is true to Genuine Scooter Company, and I'll probably end up with a tweaked buddy one of these days. But, I couldn't pass this up. There's a deposit on it, but I'm legally binding to it now, so it's mine for better or worse

Nope, that's the real deal: 1980 Vespa P200e. Should have it in my hands by next Thursday! It's sitting at the builder's now under contract deposit until I get the rest of my funds from my loan

Very nice looking P200.

you won't be disappointed! My local riding pal has 4 bikes (3 scoots), one of which is a P200, I think it was a 1983 if I'm not mistaken. He swears by it, and it's super fast. His was nearly completely restored after spending several years rotting in neglect in a backyard. Enjoy!

My sentiments of approval and appreciation are substantially expressed by the dancing banana(?!) Or, in more simple terms, "Niiiice!"

How about a sidecar Neo? You know you want to and just think you could taxi people for a fee to make your money back on the purchase.
A win-win
Looks swell!

My taxi driving days are LONG over
Besides, I've thought about it but we just bought a Chevy Tracker so no more money until after the 1st of the year
