Owning a Vespa is for sure in my bucket list.

Vespa's are one of the most common scooters here in the Netherlands among young people, it's a way to show off that you have a lot of money.

I bought a Vespa P125 in 1962 and still have it in my garage with only 6245 mi. on the odometer. It was sent to me direct from Italy in a crate and had to be assembled.
Many wonderful experiences in my youth. Southern Ontario highways and biways were my playgrounds. Best of times were had and will never be forgotten as long as I am alive. Happy days.

Vespa has always been a status icon in India ever since it arrived, alot of the rich people own Vespas and that's what makes it so special and elite, I've been planning on getting one and hopefully that'll happen soon :)

I have a beautiful vintage vespa of 1967 and I ride it everyday, vespa is simply the best. Sono fiero di essere italiano, investite sempre nell’italia

I own a vespa et4 125cc 2004 since 2014 and i love this thing so much. I’m rebuilding its engine and frame will be repainted too. The et4 is the very first scooter/motorized vehicle i drove when i was 14y old.and i never forgot how get if felt and how awesome a vespa looks.
I have drove alot of other scooters. And maybe im lucky. But vespa is the only scooter that has NEVER let me down. Thats why in rebuilding it into a new state. It deserves the love . Thanks vespa

My uncle was stationed in Italy after the war, the first thing he did was buy a Vespa. Brought it home and sold it for more than he paid for it.

Me and my 2001 Vespa et4 150 just celebrated 😎 our 20th anniversary together cruising the country roads and the beautiful fall foliage of New England here in the U.S. ❤ my Vespa !!! Ciao ....

[francislong]

Wow! I want to jump on one, ride to a Pizza place, drink Lambrosco, eat a Napoli pizza, then Tiramisu, met a nice Italian woman and let her ride me back to my place. Perfectionism.

I'm so so grateful to own a Vespa! Over here in Canada, Vespas are super wanted amongst teenagers since they're amazing quality! I was lucky enough to buy the last Black Primavera 50 CC

Vespa Is the best thing one can get. It is like a dream comes true.

The front of Vespas always reminded me of the shields of Roman soldiers. Yet another symbol of Italy that this scooter embodies.

[johnginniver]

I have had one for just over a year now and I can definitely see the appeal, nothing ever goes wrong with them ( comparative to my previous scooter a Royal Alloy) they are very well made.

[harshjain]

I am highly impressed by the CEO for his love towards Italy.

My dad had a 1956 Vespa, same as these. He taught me to ride it at 8 y/o. They were beautifully designed with a leg windshield already part of it to stop the wind from freezing the legs. They were shaped like Wasps. Ours was light blue coloured. There was also another make called Lambretta, a but longer and skinnier than the Vespa. I think the Lambretta had more horsepower than the Vespa.

[prawnstar]

Wow.. that painting machine is crazy looking. Vespas are super reliable and SO FUN! There is no other scooter that’s as cute and fun IMO.

[shqcky]

Still driving my father's 64' vespa no problem at all still works fine

[wiscgaloot]

I'm impressed they are still making them with steel! I thought they had completely switched over to plastic. I don't live in a city so I don't have any use for one, but they are very cool scooters.

Vespa's built quality, styling, and performance over a period of time are stand out.
