Posted 20 hours ago…

Ran when parked 10 years ago

“Must go…”

All music to my ears…”seems like” a good snag

Love those Norton castings, where do those go?

Expect 20 second plus quarter mile times. Vespas will blow your doors off. A good friend and another both had them and ran them at the National dragway in Ohio during the 1985 (year??) Norton National.

QUOTE...was running well 10 years ago. Needs TLC to get going.  :shocked: :rolleyes: :huh:

That is the craigslist "Captain Obvious" comment of the week!!!

Judging from the photos...that poor bike will need A LOT more than just TLC to get going!! :laugh: :grin: :wink:

Good luck finding parts for it.

I hope whoever buys this is or has access to a master machinist.

I had one of those back in the late sixties. It was my second bike, as I  recall. Slow and steady and needed a machinist back then to keep it on the road.
