2004 Vespa reviews

Have only had it about a month and have 1500 miles on her. I am a big guy and this scooter fits me fine. I road it 140 miles without getting off of it, that's the most for any scooter I have owned. Very fast take off for a 200cc motor. After the 650 mile run, I changed engine oil and Hub oil took it out and opened it up. I saw 76mph on the speedo and then checked it with my GPS and found it to be the correct. I also have a ET4 and it's a great scooter as well. They both get about 60-65MPG. The ET4 will do 60+mph with me on it with no wind. Both scooters have a high Fun Factor and have never let me down in any way. Show less

Performance is good, it'll indicate about 75mph, probably really doing 71 or 72mph as the speedo is usually on the optomistic side as on nearly all cycles. The ride is pretty good, great for a scoot, and you can corner it pretty low with the stock tires. I use it on a gnarly dirt road daily and it handles it very well. Brakes are fantastic, you need to practice as you need some rear brake compared to most motor cycles unless you ride a heavy bike or a cruiser type. It has a very comfy seat, even for two. The footpegs for the passenger are pretty, but a design nightmare as the rider's feet are in the driver's foot space when stopped. The rider must cooperate by keeping toes way in, which is kind of uncomfortable though. Show less

Have had it a little over a week and I have had seven other scooters and one motorcycle in the last 3 years. For a Scooter around town this is the one has plenty of power, great handling, and is very good comfort. I'm 6'4" and I have lots of room and get no cramps in my legs even when it's cold. I have averaged about 60 to 66 mpg so far and it will do 60+mpg with my weight. The quality is first rate. The only thing I have had to do so far is set the idle down twice as the motor is breaking in, also had to put a little Fix a Flat in the rear tire to seal the rim tight. It costs a little more that other 150cc scooters but after owning one for a week it is a bargain. 5+ rating. Show less
