1965 Vespa VNB6 imported by Sears as an Allstate scooter, this was an entry-level scoot targeted at budding American mods and suburban grocery-runners. It isn't any more.Before I bought it, the original engine was swapped for an LML 150. I rode it about a year before I had Jon Gick at Gickspeed do some porting work on a DR 180 top end (his port matching is unparalleled), installed a better crank, and ran it for a few more years. The DR-180 is a stump puller with the original gearing, so I had Rob Hodge rebuild the motor last winter with more appropriate gearing (see below), a Vespatronic ignition, and his incredible experience working on Stellas at Genuine. This motor has had some very experienced hands putting it together.New from SIP:bearing & sealscruciform25 tooth clutch gear62 tooth primarySIP Cosa 2 standard clutch basketkickstart lever, buffer, gearnew LML gasket setclutch push rod kitgear selector rodVespatronic ignitionI dialed the carb for highway riding (it'll four-stroke a little in town, but on the highway it'll do 55-60 without breaking 250 degrees), and the EGR/CHT gauge allows you to keep tabs on the engine and dial in the jetting for your preference. But it's a runner, and probably the most fun you can have on 8" wheels. Front BGM damper helps the notoriously terrible front spring, and the adjustable Bitubo in the back keeps things pretty smooth. It's a joy to ride a classic scooter like this with a modern, tuned engine. Oh yeah, SIP Road 2 exhaust looks stock, sounds nice. Rear rack with a backrest and a gas can for you Cannonballers. I've taken it on 100-mile rides, and it keeps pace with modern scooters.A couple things to note:I ran a 12v line out of the extra connector from the Vespatronic, which I wired through the channel to power the IPD fog light. All connectors are in the cowl box, so you won't even need to pull the tank to mess with wiring. The switch gets power, but the fog itself has a poor ground. If you want that light to work, you'll probably need to get a modern fog lamp with a real ground wire.There are two scratches on the engine cowl, one through the paint. This isn't a garage queen, so there's chips and small marks from being ridden. But as the pictures attest, it's still a nice looking scoot with some patina and character. And lots of stickers. No bodgery. Never been in Vietnam, Malaysia, etc. The Italians shipped it to Sears and some farmer bought it.Heidenaus front and back, but spare is an older Michelin.Have always mixed Motul 800 at the prescribed 2%, and it has been properly run-in after rebuild (lots of heat cycles [or, as I call it, "riding around town"]).No I won't ship. Picking it up is the buyer's responsibility. I am not going to even say how much the porting/rebuild work cost me. It'll just depress me. If you want a good classic 4-speed shifty made out of real metal, this is your scooter. I'm selling because I have a '74 Rally I'll go to the grave with, and I am broke broke broke. Your win, scooter shopper!
