I had a Primavera 125 about 15 years ago for $300. If I ever get another it will be a Rally 180 or 200. Some say that once you ride a Lambretta you'll never go back to Vespa.

A buddy and I fixed up a 1950s Lambretta - what a blast to ride! I had a Vespa Primavera also, but sold it due to time/money issues a few years back. I'd love to get another one, but the prices are as ridiculous as split window bus prices!
:shock:

Back in 92 I had a NSU Prima V with 700 miles on it, back then there was very little information on them "that I could find" so upon putting 300 or so miles on it "very nerve racking miles" I sold it, then the guy wants to sell it back to me because he relised at the time that parts and ect were hens-teeth.
I did install a Volkswagen part on it as a "TAG" the "Made in Germany" emblem that goes in late 50's bugs and buss-es.

I'll scan the picture's and submit them later, one is with my notchback at the time both Ruby Red.

That 65 Li125 was the same my dad had when I was growing up, its gone now but for some reason I'm still in possession of the cowl covers.

Didn't see this thread earlier before I started one similar. I own a mint og 67' SS180 and a newly restored 64' GS160.

Now you are talking bout one of my loves!

I just saw a video @ work of a guy riding similiar. A large truck obviously didn't see him. Under the front wheels...under the next set of wheels you can imagine...finally his body couldn't take it anymore and just exploded like a water balloon filled with blood. Really graffic...the lug nut rule strikes yet again.

No thanks...I like my life.
