I also liked the idea of a Vespa because most bikes are Japanese. This means they are extremely reliable so you cannot avoid a fatal crash by simply breaking down. This is entirely possible on a Vespa because it is made in Italy.

They certainly are very cool...retro looking. A bit smaller than a lot of scooters you see in Italy, France and elsewhere in Europe these days. Monsters compared with what you see scooter jockeys perched on here. I don't know if they're more crazy in Rome or Paris though.
