250cc VESPA FOR SALE - it's gorgeous!

I have a gorgeous bright red 250cc Vespa that I would like to sell.
I don't have time to practice for the motorbike test and it's a bit too heavy for me... I should have bought a 100cc in the first place...

ANYWAY ... someone will get a great deal from my error!!

DETAILS:
  • 250cc VESPA GTS
  • Bright red colour
  • Large back box included
  • Waterproof knee cover included
  • 1st registration was 31.08.2005 - so its just under 3 years old
  • It's in great condition
  • Cost to buy NEW incl. extras approx CHF 7,700.-
  • I PAID CHF 6500.- last summer....
  • PRICE NOW CHF 5800.- ono.
I will check the kilometer tonight and also add some photos of the real McCoy for you all to see.. but here are the basics for now!

Please let me know if anyone is interested.
Test drives are, of course, no problem...but please, only serious enquiries!

That's a sweet bike. Don't sell it, get off the sofa, do the test and ride through the Summer whistling "That's Amore". Really. Go on...

That thing's got ABS on the front brake...?!


Might add there's a 2006 Vespa 250 GTS for sale on Motoscout24.ch, they're asking 5,000.-chf. for it.

Re: 250cc VESPA FOR SALE - it's gorgeous!

I know! I love it... but the main reason is its so heavy - I am not a "weakling" but lifting it up onto the middle stand is quite something to achieve in a suit and high heels when it weights 150kg! ;-)

Then you're doing it wrong. You're not suppose to "lift" the thing up onto the middle stand as much as you're suppose to "push" the middle stand up under the bike. If you balance the bike with the middle stand just touching the ground on both sides then sort of stand on the middle stand as you slightly pull the bike backwards (not upwards). Your weight should pop the thing right up onto the stand with ease. Let the stand do the work and not your arm.

I'm looking for an old vespa, but that one is way to nice for the purpose I had in mind.


@Salsa: dude, we have to talk about that signature of yours.

This is a serious Vespa!



Used by the Italian Army in the late 50's to patrol the area around Messana. "a small cannon was incorporated into front cowling with additional rocket propelled grenades attractively presented in a wicker basket"

For sale at Coys in Monaco this weekend - estimated €12 000 - €15 000

Yeah, but it looks like Carte Blanche endorsement by me of everything you do as sexy.

Please... what will the missus think?

How about taking the EF Quote box away. Use quotation marks "". Please?
