General InformationThe Vespa Super was successor to the venerable Vespa 125 and 150 VNA/VBB. On the right side of the legshield, there were two that said "Vespa" and "Super" in cursive script. This headset sported a new smaller speedometer that was also used on the Vespa 125 Smallframe, and became the standard Vespa speedometer on all models until the introduction of the P-series. All Vespa Supers imported to the U.S. after 1973 had turn signals fitted as standard equipment in order to satisfy American regulations. However other Vespa models did just about everything better.

Looks to be a lower mileage, Super in decent shape. If it is stuck at 30 but the odometer still clicks over, then the mileage may be somewhat accurate. Check under the bike and look for any rust areas on the bottom of the floorboard area. Ask what work has been done to it, if so, where/who did the work (professional shop or shade-tree mechanic). Basic starting point of what to look for and look at.

I take it you have seen just a 'couple' of SE Asian bikes......when i tell people the horror stories, some believe. frankenstein patch work frames with bad welds under the bondo'd body work, bent forks, broken and rewelded forks, stupid little bodges on all the hardware and attachements. the bearings in the fork where the axle rides are crap, tons of play and they feel like they're filled with sand. and to top it all off, the fork bearing retainer is totally home-made washer with one side knocked flat. the bearings in the fork where the axle rides are crap, tons of play and they feel like they're filled with sand.
DescriptionAdditional photos of this 1966 Vespa 150 Super are available here for your perusal. The successor to the VBB, Vespa’s 150 Super featured updated angular styling that made it look like a baby brother to the Sprint. Between 1965 and 1976, Vespa produced 553,807 examples of the 125 and 150 Super. The seller of this example (VIN: VBC1T34824, Engine #: VBC1M34989) acquired it seven years ago from his neighbor in Long Beach, California. Have any 150 Super stories or questions about this listing?

You will still need to dial in one performance part at a time. Best code of practice is to follow the advice and dial in your carb for your stock setup, theres already mention of the jet sizes that could work.
