Hi all,

 

After about more that 12yrs of riding, i tink its time i ride something i've been eyeing for a long time.. a classic vespa. But the qs is.. im not too sure where to start. So here i am. Been reading up on vespas but cant seem to find the answers to be queries below. Hope theres some kind soul in here to assist.

 

1) Im looking for a Sprint model(real ones not sprint lookalike modded px). Where can I buy one where I can do up both engine and outlook to my preference together first before taking it out of the shop?

 

2) What's d kind of pocket damage am i looking at for these kind of buys?

 

3) Would be it cheaper to buy from a seller straight? (cant seem to find anyone selling sprint)

 

4) What is the most obvious way to distinguish between a modded px and a sprint? (dont wanna kena ketuk by ppl and motorshop)

 

Wud lurve to own one of these someday... :lovestruck:

if im not wrong the rectangular headlamps are sprint lookalikes n circular are super lookalikes.. am learning abt vespa oso coz hoping to get one real soon..

 

i need help oso.. is T5 and T-5 the same model? coz i heard T5 not sold in singapore.. but a fren of mine selling his bajaj n i checked onemotoring the model is T-5.. or isit that T-5 is the model n bajaj is the name? like sprint - VLB n super - VBC, etc..

 

hope to get some info soon coz my hands are itchy in getting one soon..

[Sharpey]

I think the TS often gets confused for the T5.... the TS is an Indo Made T5 clone... but with a 150 iron barrel instead of a nicasil 125 one....

 

 

Romeo... my advice is don't do it.... you'll end up spending in excess of 2k (on top of scooter price) for mods that won't add as much value to the scoot... Better get the real deal if you ask me... Sprints can be had for around 3k... you just need to be patient and wait for the right deal to come along...

so its a tS? shld b coz i saw Ts on the seat .. that explains everything!!! ur brilliant sharpey! hahaha... yaya, ure gona say all this can be found on the net...

 

btw wen u mentioned romeo ur refering to me? as in dont get a ts?

[machine k]

by romeo, he's refering to the prince.

=)

[hors3m3n]

ouh.. but im planning to make my new vespa(TS) into a classic oso, sprint lookalike probably.. i saw on the net there is this model, vespa sport.. looks kinda cool too.. ts looks too wierd to maintain its stock outlook, if u know wat i mean..

 

anyone knows anywer that does quality service for twotone(pearl effect) airbrushing..

[Sharpey]

no worries....

 

Just that the TS has a different shaped tail section to the PX... you may want to modify that if you're considering a custom scoot....

 

Romeo is the other chap who was posting... Prince Capulet... that's if I've got my Shakespeare right...

Hahahahahha...

 

If im gonna change the outlook i gotta spend a hefty amount..

But i already bought the bike.

Doesnt have quite the "vintage" outlook to me..

So bro Sharpey, get the real deal..

But wat am i gonna do wit the P150 vespa??

I jz bought it...

[nyteng]

Hey guys,

 

anyone of you came to know a Vespa shop in JB called Rahim Motor?

 

Please kindly provide me the address ???

 

Thanks....

[hors3m3n]

Yeah man, we have the same thinking...

 

hey i just send my bike for a full done up internally, overhaul, rewiring, etc.. cost me a fortune but now it will werk as new.. next step is changing the outlook.. still havent decide yet.. probably u can share me some of ur ideas since we're both doin up our new vespa..

 

but i wld suggest u take a look internally, coz u wldnt want ur outlook to be nice den ur inside koyak.. mine wld b ready nxt week.. then i will start thinking of the outlook...

 

n btw mine is LML star.. india mari... mee goreng wiring..

[Sharpey]

Sell lah... Spend a bit of money making it look nice and you could even make a profit...

 

Actually, now that you have a scoot, you can bide your time looking for the right Sprint/Bajaj to come along... (Bajaj Chetak is the same as an early model sprint...just has a 2-port engine instead of the 3port on the later Sprint V... )

 

When something good comes along, sell the PX and buy the next one...

 

That's just my opinion... plenty of people have nice looking retro PX's... you just need to be sure that that is a look that you are comfortable with... and an investment that you won't later regret.
