April 22nd, 2009 at 3:34 am
My Vespa makes commuting easy and painless, in and around the Los Angeles basin.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:34 am
How can you NOT love Vespas. I bought it for the looks and love it for the mileage and the history. And there’s nothing like leaving a Prius far behind from a stoplight!
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:36 am
I love Vespas because of the smooth ride.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:39 am
I love Vespa because she happily drives me to work everyday no matter how hard I ride her the night before.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:41 am
I love my Vespa because it never makes me feel inadequate nor dissapoints me like my parents.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:47 am
Goshi it’s ok, my parents make me feel inadequate too! We like that comment a lot.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:50 am
I had an Allstate Cruisaire (made by Vespa) when I was in high school in the 60s. When I found out I could have a modern Vespa now, how could I NOT want one? I love my LX150!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 am
I love Vespa because it is Italian.
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:03 am

April 22nd, 2009 at 4:12 am
Vespas are as close to perfect as a scooter can ever get! I love my GTV.
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:13 am
Why do I love Vespa?
What’s not to love?
Both of my Vespa scooters cause me to smile constantly!
April 22nd, 2009 at 4:35 am
love my Vespa because it is so fun and it gets me all the ladies.
April 22nd, 2009 at 5:24 am
Because it brings to me joy and gladness of heart; fearing not the fickleness of fuel fees, nor the boredom and banality of the caged humans around me. The wind; the slick sliding scenery slipping by me as if IT were mobile and I static,stationary,still.
April 22nd, 2009 at 5:47 am
It’s been a privilege to lead people to Vespa as their very first scooter. It has been twist and go ever since leaving the lot and never did they looked back! Vespa Lex has it going on!

I love Vespa for the style and the functionality. The perfect urban assault vehicle.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:05 am
My wife, 5 year old daughter, 2 year old son, and I all love riding the Vespa. I own a fun for four Vespa PX150 with a sidecar and a fun for two GTS250. They are so much more fun to ride than driving a boring car. My Vespa license plate says:
“70MPG how about you?”
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:10 am
My piaggio has been berry berry goood to meee. Its always ready and wainting to go for a ride. Sometimes it is sad looking at me and saying why not today. It does’nt understand the rain. But it ahs been berry berry good to meee
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:11 am
I love vespas and scooters because of the freedom and enjoyment they provide, a motorcycle is similar, but they are cold and black compared to the colorful and small simple to ride vespas.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:14 am
I love my P-series Vespa because it is fun to ride, easy to work on, looks beautiful, easy to get parts for, and is fun to ride!
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:18 am
Chi “Vespa” mangia le mele. This NY’er know’s about big apples and Vespa’s.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:20 am
I love Vespa because Vespa has… splunge.
.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:26 am
I’ve been a fan of Vespas and Piaggios from a far for many years. Finally picked up a Piaggio MP3 500 last month and am havin’ a ball!
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:30 am
“Vespa”=style
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:34 am
I love Vespa because it puts the person back into personal transportation.

April 22nd, 2009 at 7:07 am
Classic, stylish riding.
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:17 am
I like Vespas because they are not Lambrettas.
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:29 am
I love my Vespa because she makes me smile whenever I ride.
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:30 am
I love Vespa so much that they have been the only scooter Ive ever owned since my first P200 in 1986.
I have put 12,000 miles on my GTS in the first year of ownership. Its such a great touring scoot on the open roads, I recently road my GTS from Los Angeles to Las Vegas for a huge rally.
Everyone should own a piece of Vespa freedom.
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:56 am
I love riding my Vespa because it’s the only time I smile all day.
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:04 am
I love the style & the ride of a Vespa. I also love the ease of use, the fun and the envious looks from others.
The Vespa is so much fun to own, my husband bought one also.
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:14 am
A gallon and a half of gas every two weeks. Can it get any better ?
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:29 am
Dude, I love driving my 2003 target ET2 around town. Skull helmet FTW
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 am
I love my Vespa because it makes me happy. I look at it and smile. The smile when I ride is even bigger.
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 am
Because a Vespa is pure class, baby.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 am
I absolutely love my scooter,
I am now a savvy commuter.
I’ve saved tons of money on gas,
And boys even turn their head as I pass.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:23 am
I love Vespa because it was the first scooter I ever rode. I will never forget that faded yellow scooter. Here it is 30 something years later and I am still riding. Wheeeee!
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:28 am
I traveled across Europe on a PX200, and when I couldn’t find a hotel room in a driving rainstorm, in Badalona, Spain, I stopped at the local police station — where there were 20 police Vespas parked out front. They let me sleep in a cell overnight and treated me like visiting royalty (i.e., they didn’t lock the cell door). Try that on any other scooter!
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 am
When I ride my Vespa, I become one of the cool people. She is my Italian mistress: full of excitement, great times, a smooth ride and beautiful lines
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 am
I love Vespa because they keep up with the times (EFI & CVT) while keeping the Vespa style.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 am
Amo la mia Vespa per le curve liscie e la sua bella personalità!!
Viva la Vespa!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:51 am
I recently was at a friends house and the neighbor stopped by to say she would leave her husband for the rider of the Vespa parked out front. Hey everyone meet my new girlfriend!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 am
I have had two wrecks that should have made me quit riding, but I love the smell of 2-stroke and the friends that I had made from riding a scooter. Plus they are tough little machines, that look awesome.
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 am
I love my Vespa ‘cuz I never wanna grow up!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 am
I love Vespa’s because they let me zip through the city, scoot through the country, and just feel free.
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:13 am
Love my Vespa ‘cuz I never wanna grow up!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
I love my vespa because it always stands out from all those japanese scoots here in our area. Not to mention that the ladies love it!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:22 am
Owning a Vespa was the fulfillment of a deep and painful 20 year scooterlust. The pain went away, but the scooterlust got worse. Go figure!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:24 am
There’s nothing better than a Vespa!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:30 am
I love Vespa because 19 years ago in Florence, Italy a brunette on a portofino green Vespa drove by and smiled at me. What can I say…it caught my attention!
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:33 am
I love Vespa because 19 years in Florence Italy a brunette rolled by on a portofino green Vespa and smiled at me. What can I say…it caught my eye!

I love my Vespa LX150 because it makes going anywhere more fun.
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 am
I love my Vespa s150 because it makes me enjoy driving again. I’m never not smiling when on my Vespa.
April 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 am
I love Vespa scooters because they are more fun than driving or walking.
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I haven’t ridden a Vespa, but they look great. They look to be very relaxing.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:23 pm
I love Vespa because as an urban dweller, it means that I can ditch my car, still get around town even if the buses don’t match my schedule, and park when I get there.
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:47 pm
I love Vespas because a good friend lives next door to one at the Vespa dealership in Rome and the employees there were extremely handsome; I walked by as much as possible. So—sex appeal!
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:01 pm
My love for Vespa is genuine.
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Vespa’s are just sooo classic!
April 22nd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I love my Vespa because is pure urban design and style without times.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
My Vespa is a work of art! I get to ride it through the countryside and I feel like I am transported back in time. Its the best thing in my life.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I love my yellow Vespa because it reminds me of sunshine, springtime, and happiness! Plus, it’s just so dang cool!
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:13 pm
I love my yellow Yespa because it reminds me of sunshine and springtime, and it’s just soooo cool!!!
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I love my girlfriends yellow vespa and my blue vespa because together we make Green.
Green = eco-friendly and the color of frogs
April 22nd, 2009 at 10:04 pm

April 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Vespa’s are a great economic commuting option, plus quality italian craftsmanship. It’s a win win.
April 23rd, 2009 at 12:07 am
I love my Vespa because I love sexy Italians.
April 23rd, 2009 at 12:09 am
I love Vespa because it reminds me of my romantic honeymoon in Europe.
April 23rd, 2009 at 1:25 am

April 23rd, 2009 at 3:20 am

April 23rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
Had mind for almost a year, it’s the best! I love it.
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:42 am
I love Vespas because they are iconic and innovative all at the same time.
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:53 am
I love vespas because they exist to be loved by wonderful people, like me.
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:55 am
I love riding my Vespa ET150 & P200E in Seattle. They have a style all their own. Great gas mileage and always a place to park!
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:58 am
Even though I fell off my ET4 & separated my shoulder four years ago I still love riding my Vespa.
April 23rd, 2009 at 10:23 am
I like Vespa cause they’re just damn cool!
April 23rd, 2009 at 11:06 am
My truck is jealous of my vespa.
April 23rd, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I like my Vespa because when I ride it, it’s a magical time machine that takes me back to a simpler, more elegant time. I can be careening down the Spanish Steps with Audrey Hepburn, or heading down to Brighton with me mates! And wherever I go, people smile. A Vespa will do that.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I love vespa because without my GS160 I never would have gotten the chance to meet the people I call family. And getting naked at inappropriate times just wouldn’t be as much fun!
April 24th, 2009 at 7:19 am
I love my baby blue lx50 because it scares the Harley (Vespa wannabess) riders!
April 24th, 2009 at 7:27 am
I love vespa because they have unparalleled attention to detail… scala sans font on the speedometer… need I say more? oh, and I’m naming my first- born vespa…
April 24th, 2009 at 8:33 am
I love my vespa because she loves me.
April 25th, 2009 at 1:30 am
I love the gorgeous curves of vintage vespas… (probably why i own 3…)
April 25th, 2009 at 1:41 am
I love my Vespa because it lets me be my Honey’s backrest, and there’s no better way to enjoy a warm sunny day.
April 25th, 2009 at 1:45 am
My Vespa not only looks stylish, it’s a head turner with the ladies! Of course there’s the great gas mileage, green factor, and no need for a motorcycle license. But hands down, the nest reason is when a cute girl points to her friend and mouths “Vespa!”
April 25th, 2009 at 2:21 am
I love Vespas because there are zero esthetic design flaws – it makes me feel very happy every time I take one (or all) of my three out for a ride.
April 25th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
’cause they got two wheels and are fun to ride….

I love Vespa because it’s part of our subculture!
May 29th, 2011 at 7:24 am
When I was a little girl I loved to watch Audrey Hepburn on a Vespa in Roman Holiday. It was then that I decided that I had to have a Vespa…now I do.
