DescriptionKICK START LEVER VINTAGE VESPA VBB SPRINT SUPER (078642 097338 150003) The kickstart lever is on the receiving end of the most vicious treatment suffered by any component on your beloved vintage scoot. These things get the crapped kicked out of them every day, taking some of the most intense torque your body can deliver to a little metal rod. That's why you should treat your scooter well and replace that natty kickstart lever every chance you get. It's certainly easy to do so, and this kickstart lever from Vespa Motorsport even comes with hardware and the rubber to make it even more painless for you. This particular kickstart lever is short and fits most Vintage 125-150cc large frames from the 1960's-1970's.

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. Dino Mazzoncini set the world record on the kilometre at an average of 171 km/hSee also [ edit ]References [ edit ]Citations [ edit ]Sources [ edit ]
