Maintenance is more expensive than Jepunis counterpart.. u know la Italian brand even though it's Vietmoy made..

Example belts only either original or Malossi Kevlar.. so no Mitsuboshi and other alternatives

Then tayar.. special size 12.. since not many other scooter brand/model still using this size.. make the choices limited and expensive.

Aftermarket parts, also expensive than Jepunis.. Racing Boy vs Malossi, JCosta, Polini

Good side is.. Body is besi.. not much plastic cover parts.. 2nd hand price.. maintained, or even increase.. yes like gold.. haha..

This frame


All besi so if you dent the back side especially, then GG.. have to go ketuk..

what do you want from the vespa? a second bike for fun and ride around town?

TS, don't think too much about what others say about expensive maintenance etc. Vespa IS a lifestyle bike but like a lifestyle bike, if you only ride on weekends, maintenance is not that expensive as you won't be doing too many km per year.

Second thing, Vespa have very active community and finding parts and support is not difficult. Beats buying those shitty China bikes.

Thirdly, it's a bout style and attraction. You in Vespa, ppl look at you... think you're stylish. You in those cruisers... ppl think macho uncles, you in sportsbikes... kaki lumba. However, in a Vespa... you're just a cool dude and the attract babes factor is much MUCH higher vs cruisers/naked/sports/caferacers.
