1965 VESPA VBB, Originally made in India under license from Piaggio, this original 1965 Vespa VBB scooter has been completely refurbished, While it uses a vintage frame, that is about the only thing left of the bike that is not new, It has as new 5-port 150cc motor with a Malossi 177cc performance kit with performance carburetor and performance exhaust.It has been converted to run ten inch tires instead of the original eight inch size. This is quite an advantage over stock VBB's. These were originally designed as an economy model, while in the same time period the Gran Sports were being produced as the larger faster sport model. By switching to a more powerful motor and larger wheels you get much of the same performance and handling of the Gran Sports, and still maintain the very curvy aesthetic of these early models. A GS150 or GS160 in the same kind of condition would sell for $8,000 - $10,000, so if you're not looking for a collector's item but still want to ride a nice classic bike this is a very good choice. I have tried to maintain the closest appearance to how this bike would have looked if they had come off the factory floor in 1965, but some accessories have been added rack, buddy seat, chrome wheels, sport tires and custom chrome grips). $3800, tel. 305-248-1595 or cell 305-773-6991
