I contacted my local Vespa dealers to see if any of them have one first. This will be my first scooter and I have been torn between a Vespa and a Buddy Get the 150, more power is more fun, even for a first scooter. If you get a Vespa, you don´t just get a scooter, it´s so much more than just a ride. The 150cc is not that much more and will hold its value better.
Today I was late for parent-teacher meetings at my daughter’s school and I came flying out of the office and down to Piazza Colleggio Romano and was heading to the bus stop on Rome’s Via del Corso when this violet vespa stopped me short. I pass that corner several times a day, coming and going from work, or heading to the coffee bar for my morning cappuccino, but in all these years of passing that corner, I have never seen a violet vespa. What struck me even more than the fact that it was violet, was that it was parked right under the sign that said “Strada Senza Uscita”, Dead End. Somehow that violet vespa conjured up for me an image of a carefree, frivolous young woman on her violet vespa, who ran into a dead end and just stopped right there, parked the vespa in a cobblestone patch and walked on without a worry. Ah, just give me a violet vespa, and maybe all my worries will disappear.

The Vespa P-series was the last of the “classic” Vespas to come out of Piaggio’s factories. Though many of the brand new scooters reaching American shores have a “Vespa” badge, they are cut from a different cloth entirely. Though certainly not the most elegant styling exercise, the P-series Vespas are probably the sturdiest models, and certainly the most commonly encountered Vespa in the U.S. today. Though the P-series is the last of the line, they are still being manufactured new today though it is unclear for how much longer. When that finally happens, for the first time in over 50 years, true classic Vespas will no longer be produced in Italy.
