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.
OP Humanbean Member Vespa super 150 Joined:Posts: 41quote Thanks for all of the input guys,I'll begin with checking the voltages. The battery is only a few months old, So I'm hoping it's not the weak link here. But every so often I polish up the connections when the turn signals are being especially finicky. I'll check the front turn signals when I get home too. It would be something to brag about if I could do it with my old Vespa though lol.
The Vespa 150 Super (VBC) was first introduced in 1965 as Piaggio’s replacement to the standard Vespa 150 (VBB). The model's design evolved considerably in it's 12-year production run, both in updated styling cues, and eventually (in the US-market at least) with the addition of Department of Transportation-mandated safety equipment, as seen here. Most notably, the 1974 model-year was the first in which US DOT law required that all new motorcycles sold in the US be equipped with turn signals. The example shown here was restored by us to 100% concours-correct US-market spec. It is extremely rare to see a US-Market Vespa of this era restored to this level of originality.
74 Vespa SuperI recently sold the 74 Super and am now rocking a 79 P200 VespaI've owned a 74 Vespa Super for about a year now and racked up over 2,000 miles on it. 2 Stroke OilUse Motul 710 (Blue/Green in color) to fill the 2 stroke oil tank since the 74 Vespa Super uses an oil injector rather than premix. Do not use Motul 800 (Orange/Brown in color) This is for bikes where you are mixing 2 stroke oil into the gas tank. Cylinder Head Installation/RemovalIf you are ever removing or installing the cylinder head it is very important to remove/torque the nuts in the proper order or you can actually damage the cylinder head. If you are installing the cylinder head use a torque wrench to get everything equally torqued to the proper spec.
This 1974 Vespa 150 Super is said to have remained with its original owner until being acquired by the seller in 2024, and its 145cc two-stroke single was overhauled in preparation for the sale. Features include a 12-volt electronic ignition system, a four-speed transmission, oil injection, street lighting, a trailing-link front end, black vinyl two-up seat, and a locking storage compartment. This 150 Super is now offered at no reserve with service records and a clean California title in the seller’s name. The air-cooled 145cc two-stroke single was factory rated at 5 horsepower and features a 12-volt electronic ignition system and oil injection. Power is transferred to the rear wheel through a four-speed manual transmission that is shifted by twisting the left-hand grip.
