I've had 6 Vespas in my life. Still have 4 of them. They are bullet proof. Never done anything to them but routine maintenance. And they look like a scooter should! Who cares about the money!
@@jans.6537 That is not true. That front panel along with the rest of the body is stamped metal. There’s a few videos on here about how it is made. It is definitely interesting.
lol, this is the only review video I've seen about Vespas that called something "plastic" (this is false, Vespa uses metal), mentioned it depreciating in value (where is he? used Vespa's cost the same as new ones depending on the model - there are hardcore collectors of this scooter brand), and Japanese scooters are better (this is a preference - also, many J-scooters look like mini motorcycles, not scooters). I have to give it to the creator, their bias was showing very heavily in this review 😂
I've had the Primavera since 2016 and had no problems with it. cheap to insure, it's a 125, I am getting around 110 mpg, it's top speed is 67 mph. I watched videos on scooter west in the u.s, their used Vespa's are not cheap. I still own a Honda Scooter, it nice, but feels cheap compared to the Vespa and of course it was cheaper than the Vespa. Many people comment on how nice the Vespa is, I never had anyone say anything about my Honda, the Honda is just another Scooter. The Vespa is a work of art.
Thought I would add, my scooter has just passed 38,000 miles and still going strong! I used my Honda for work for a period just over 8 years and it's got less than 4,000 miles on it.
Sorry, I have to disagree with the comments on this video in regards to the resale value of the Vespa. When I was shopping around for a used Vespa, I was shocked to see 14 and 16 year old Vespa's selling between $3,500 and $4,000. That is why, I bought a brand new 2022 model for only $6,500, and very happy with it.
Thank you for the video Vehiche Hunter! I own a Vespa Primavera and I would never buy a brandnew vespa, because in Sweden the first 2 years they tend to depriciate a lot, but then the value kind of stabilizes. I have a 50cc, and when I get a motorbike license I may stick with a piaggio branded product or go with a japanese scooter (most piaggio scooters have exactly the same engine as the vespa brand) I got mine because the offer was just extremely good (if this offer wouldn't come I'd get a yamaha neos or honda nsc vision), now it will very soon be 14,000km and it has had zero issues what-so-ever and only done basic service.
You don't need a license in Baltimore, every teen has their own dirtbike. Police aren't allowed to chase, so you don't need to worry about police chases, insurance, stop signs or red lights.
Stopped watching as soon as he said " I prefer Japanese bikes" LOL After saying Vespas don't hold their value, this guy must not know what he is talking about. Here in California they hold value well.
Same here in Australia, even high milage models sell exceptionally well. I'm not sure whether the guy did enough research on that comments with "reliability". My I've had more reliability niggles with Japanese scooters which is ironic.
More reliable than a FIAT? These scooters are only better to drive around towns, or maybe delivering food in asia, europe, or some states in the U.S. They can be taken care of like any other scooter, but these are some who are looking for a transportation on a budget.
If you're taking about "reliability" then ask any long term Vespa owner and you'll know that Vespa's are built like little tanks, they are generally bomb proof, many running well over 100,000km with nothing more than general maintenance. I've had 5 in total from PX, LX and GTS and all have been stellar in reliability. Yes, Japanese scooters are reliable too but Vespa's monocoque steal body is built to outlast your riding days, thats why we still see plenty of vintage models all around the world that are still humming along. Yes you pay a little more but its well justified for build quality, longevity, ride and design. Timeless no matter which model you choose.
vespas hold their value because they are a quality product i have an 04 et4 mint green only problem was a drive belt that i neglected to replace in time. still look fabulous with many compliments. i want a new sprint.........hopefully some pastel colors in the future.
@@wewouldneversellourclubfor3166 you fall over twice and theres nothing left. vespas are made for responsive acceleration and quality bodies. all vehicles require care and they all have their own beauties. the only scooter id pick beside vespas would be honda SH :))))
Vespas hold value very well. Especially older ones. New model vespas tend to keep value at the same rate nicer cars do. After 10 years and alot of use? yeah you lose cost. I know the Ruckus tends to start cheap and stay pretty cheap. its value is pretty locked until you mess them up. Though Ruckus' are also kinda crappy shaky little things while a vespa can and frequently are used for touring. So they are sorta a different market.
They don’t hold their value. I routinely see the 150s for about $2500 with almost no miles on them. Once you buy it for $2500 used, yeah, it’s definitely going to hold its value at that point.
I agree. He doesn't think a Vespa holds its value. He thinks that tool kit is a raincoat. WTF? And dude, you can buy an option side stand if you want. And it's a fuel ejected scooter so who the heck wants a kick starter?
I just don`t understand people who compare Vespa and japanese scooters. Why compare a Ferrari to a Toyota Camry Taxi? Vespa is passion. Japan scooters is boredom.
one of the reasons why vespas are so expencive as new is cause u pretty much pay for the brand.. same as if u would buy like gucci clothes u mostly pay for the brand! i have a vespa primavera 50cc and im suuper happy with it!!
I bought a 150 in 2003, ride it in town all the time it's not raining or freezing. All I've done is change tires and put gas in it and a new battery every few years. Resale? I'm not selling
The maintenance on the Vespa is the same as any other scooter, what would make it any different? I bought an ET4 in 2001 and it was very easy to care for and was 100% reliable. I had zero issues with it.
Vespa parts can be slightly more expensive but not by much. But they are also generally of better quality unless you shift to performance parts like shocks. I find Hondas generally use cheaper lighter parts while vespas never feel like they skimped on stuff.
@@wewouldneversellourclubfor3166 I kinda have to disagree. In general you are right. Especially with motorcycles. Vespas are generally made to the same quality as modern Suzuki motorycles and are very reliable. Now if we were talking about Fiats or Guzzi I would totally agree with you.
Almost any vehicle; motorcycle, scooter or car will lose a lot of money as soon as you drive it out of the showroom. If you buy a used Vespa (or any other vehicle) then you will let another idiot lose all the money and the cost of ownership will be low.
I usually buy used bikes and cars but understand people wanting a new scooter with a warranty and not a used bike with a questionable history. I loved my 2004 Vespa but the water pump went out and I didn’t like our Vespa service department. I may return to the Italian fold soon. Motorcycle and car companies don’t stay in business selling used vehicles.
@@tomcat6933 I'm very jealous of that extra set of hanging blinkers, I'm sure you're right about that. in fact I wish vespas had even more redundant blinkers

My LX is 12 years old and has had liitle done to it. It still runs well, and is in top condition. I'm not the first owner. It may have spent some time outside and leaning agaist a fence. Great video. That thing wrapped up under the seat? Tool kit maybe. It has a special spark plug wrench in it. That shouldn't get lost.
I have ridden the honda 150sh and I think the Honda is better mainly because of the large diameter wheels. There is hardly any storage int he SH compared to the vespa. the Vespa has more bells and whistles. I should defiantly compare them, thanks for the comment.
This person just doesn’t like nice things when you buy something you wants to make sure it’s going to last you a good while and the price doesn’t Matter because you will know that was money well spent
