A 1975 Super 'should' have the later casing, which would be 3 port but with a 2 port cylinder. Both the Super and the Veloce are pretty slow, but the Super seems quicker around town due to the 8" wheels. An optional change to 10" wheels would give you a useful upgear for the extra power of a 177/190 kit. The saving in purchase price would need to be worth it, because the Veloce is a little more desirable.

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.

HistoryThe Super Sprint 90 is no doubt the most stylish Vespa with its unmistakable aggressive design, “its speed, its irresistible spurt and its stirring riding” is produced by Piaggio starting in 1965. It features a smaller legshield and an oddments pannier placed between the saddle and the handlebar. Like the Vespa GS of 1955, the spare wheel can be positioned in the middle of the floor platform. Exploiting the success of the Vespa Super Sprint, Piaggio prepares a 50 cc version too only for the foreign markets (particularly Switzerland and Germany). The 90 Super Sprint, like the Vespa 50, is among the most sought-after models.
History [ edit ]Vespa 150 TAP, modified for the French paratroopers that carried (not fired) an antitank weapon. One of the best-loved models was the Vespa 150 GS introduced in 1955 with a 150 cc engine, a long saddle, and the faired handlebar-headlamp unit. These were available in the US in 50 cc and 150 cc versions, while Europeans could choose a 50 cc, 125 cc and 150 cc. The Miami Auto Museum in North Miami, Florida, claims to have largest collection of Vespa scooters with over 400 items.
