Called PX, the scooter was first produced in a 125cc displacement and cost 673,000 liras (less than 350 Euro). Soon after, the 125 was joined by 150 and 200cc displacements. In 1977 Jimmy Carter became the new occupant of the White House. In the USSR Leonid Brezhnev took over the Kremlin. Amnesty International won the Nobel Peace Prize and Niki Lauda won the Formula 1 in a Ferrari. At Cape Kennedy NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2, today 12.6 and 10 billion km from the Earth respectively, at the outer limits of our solar system. Thirty seven years later the Vespa PX too continues to travel, on a less epic voyage but not without glory - over two million units sold since the launch, more than a million of these just the PX 150, the single most widely sold Vespa in history.VESPA PX 125/150: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSEngine - Single cylinder catalysed two strokeBore - 57 mmStroke - 52.5 mm (PX 125); 58 mm (PX 150)Displacement - 123.4 cc(PX 125); 151 cc (PX 150)Fuel - Unleaded petrolPower - 7.6 bhp at 6,250 rpm (PX 125); 8.2 bhp at 6,000 rpm(PX 150)Start - Electric and kick starterCooling - Forced airInduction - Rotating valve in crankcaseGearbox - Four speed, on handlebarFrame - Pressed steel monocoqueFront suspension - Oscillating arm, coil spring and dual effect hydraulic shock absorberRear suspension - Hydraulic shock absorber, 88 mm strokeRear brake - 150 mm drumWheel rims - In sheet metal, 2.10 - 10"Tires - Tube type 3.50 - 10"Length - 1,810 mmWidth - 740 mmWheelbase - 1,260 mmSeat height - 805 mmDry weight - 106 kgMax. speed - 87 km/h (PX 125); 91 km/h (PX 150)Fuel tank - 8 litres (of which 1.6 litres reserve)Consumption - 30 km/l (ECE 40 cycle) Emissions - Euro 1 Every item that could be replaced was replaced new, all other parts were restored, list belowNew Parts• Wiring loom• All Cables and Housings• Headlamp• Tail lamp• emblems• Horn• Speedometer• Horn and Light Switch• Voltage Regulator• Clutch and Brake Levers• Steering Lock• Glove Box Lock• Floor Rails and Rubbers• Cowl Rubbers• All Small Rubber Grommets• Grips• Fender Strips and Hardware• Seats and Upholstery• Fuel Line• Back Shock• Front Shock• Front Brake Pads• Back Brake Pads• Tires• Tubes• White Walls• Center Stand with all Hardware• Center Stand Boots• Fuel Petcock• Fuel Lever• Fender Crest• Foot Brake Lever and Rubber• Brake Switch at Foot• Fuel Tank Rubber• Center Mat and Rails• Front fender• All Nuts and Bolts All Hardware• Front Hub• Back Hub• Helmet Lock• Spare Tire Holder• Rims• Cowl Lock• Front Suspension Cover• Front Suspension Spring• All Parts in Front Suspension including Bearings• Front Axel• Front Suspension Housing Unit• Steering Bearings• Key Lock Cover• All Bulbs• Front Bulb Holder Engine(Basically everything was replaced with the exception of the cases)• Cylinder and Piston• All 7 Bearings• Seals Gaskets• Case Bolts• Clutch Plates• Clutch Springs• Clutch Basket• Woodruff Keys• Stator Plate• Carburetor 22mm• Air Filter• Crank• Shifting Cross• Gear Selector• Cylinder Cover• Fly Wheel• Head Bolts• Fly Wheel Cover• Carburetor Cover• Air Bellow• Kick Start• Kick start Gear• Kick Start Rubber pads• Engine Main Bushing Rubbers• Engine Main Bolt• Junction Box• Cable adjustors• Exhaust• Ignition• Back Axel Restored Parts • Side Cowls• Fork• Headset• Body• Fuel Tank• Engine cases FREE SHIPPING to you!

Top speed is 65 mph and 75mpg. -The 150cc engine is a very strong and fast engine but if more power is what you want I can help you with bolt-on performance parts from Malossi, Pinasco and other Vespa after-market performance part manufacturers from Italy, you can easily add more horse power to the Vespa, but most agree stock is fast enough on the Vespa 150cc "SIP" of Europe is my parts supplier for all my restorations- Please watch their 20 year anniversary video Engine is the “Original Engine” completely taken apart – engine cases cleaned , inspected, and sandblasted to their original finish. Complete Engine re-build with all new Piaggio(Vespa) partsGenerally over-looked by most Vespa restorers is the “Engine Motor Mount” Because of the cost and labor involved in re-placing the Engine Motor Mount this item is almost never re-placed. I personally believe this is one of the most important parts to re-place when restoring a Vintage Vespa. Not re-placing this mount will make the engine vibrate the body from the hard rubber as well as sit unaligned and lopsided causing the scooter to handle poorly. The Front Suspension completely re-placed, I replace every part with original Piaggio(Vespa) parts with the exception of the fork and housing. This ensures the scooter to be safe, with perfect handling. Registration-No one likes loading a newly purchased motor scooter into the back of a truck just to wait in long lines at the local Dept of Vehicles and or running around to inspection shops – in my 10 years of selling quality Vespas on eBay I have found a universal method that will get a registration and license plate that’s registered into your name and address by just filling out some simple paperwork and sending it in to a good titling company I have worked with for 10 years. This Vespa will arrive with all paperwork needed to register the scooter into your name and address. Buyer is responsible for the costs associated with titling the Vespa into their name and insurance.
