vespa vintage

    Hi,

    I'm don't know much about scooters (i'm currently looking to buy my first vespa).

    I just need to clarify something first. I've been looking at a 'LML star vespa'. It's 2011, I really like the style of it but is this like a 'knock off' of a vespa? OR it's just a different brand name, similar style. I've just checked scooterisland & bikeworld. & gumtree, adverts.ie etc but most vespa's I found online where in bad shape.

    How about an old style vintage vespa? where would i get one of these?

    Please see image of LML Scooter > i think it's pretty cool looken:) classic2tblu.jpg

    LML star is a clone of the vespa px, i wouldnt exactly call it a knock off as lml built the vespa px for vespa for years and eventually started selling them as lml star to the indian market, eventually vespa and lmls partnership ended so lml started selling the star worldwide, i had one for a few months and they are just as good as any vespa(if even a little higher quality on the body) one word of warning though, they come heavily restricted to fit euro 3 regulations and in their crippled state can only muster about 60km/h (from a 125!!!) it is possible to derestrict them yourself however and most of the second hand ones you find will have this done already

    see: http://www.lmlocgb.co.uk/workshop/lml-125-star-dlx/

    if you dont feel comfortable doing that work yourself take it to carl perkins in Modern and Classic scooters in inchicore and he will do the job for ya.
