Vespa Lexington

I was thumbing through a People Magazine this past weekend and came across a photo of the Jonas Brothers on a Vespa scooter. It was actually a photo of all three Jonas brothers sitting on one red Vespa, which I thought was kind of strange. This was not the first time I have seen a celebrity on a scooter, there are actually quite a few celebrities out there that ride scooters. In hunting for a few images online of scooter riding celebrities, I found that most of them ride Vespas (why wouldn’t they? Vespa makes the best scooter money can buy).

It got me thinking about how much celebrities influence consumers in their purchasing decisions. In the world of fashion, clothing companies provide clothing to a stylist, the stylist then dress’s the celebrity in the clothing, paparazzi then snap photo’s of the celebrity wearing the clothing, and then the consumers go out and buy the clothing. It’s all pretty ridiculous, but that is the world we live in.

While the clothing that celebrities wear can be somewhat obtainable by the masses, some of their transportation options can very unobtainable for the average consumer. Not everyone can afford the Range Rovers, the Bentley’s, and the private jets that some of these celebrities roll around in. While a private jet would be pretty sweet, for most of us it’s just not going to happen. A brand new Vespa scooter on the other hand is very obtainable. Think about it, you can purchase the very best scooter money can buy for well under ten grand. Not just any scooter, a Vespa; the epitome of classic Italian design. What other Italian manufactured motorized mode of transportation can you purchase for under ten grand?

If you happen to be out shopping for a new scooter, think about it this way: If you were shopping for a new car and were given two options:
-option 1 you could purchase a brand new Yugo for $10,000
-option 2 you could purchase a brand new Bentley for $12,000
What would you buy? I think most people would take option 2 (It’s a no brainer). For just a little bit more you get the best. That’s pretty much the theme in buying a new scooter, for just a little bit more you get Italian design, Italian engineering, Italian manufacturing, Reputation and best of all you get the BEST when buying a new Vespa. It’s all about VALUE! Don’t forget this stuff too.

Getting back on track with celebrities riding Vespas, check out the photo’s below and continue reading to view more. I got these images from all over the web. I was hoping to find a photo of Uma Thurman riding a Vespa but only came across this article.
