My main business is selling/repairing/servicing scooters, both vintage and new.

I prefer vintage Lambrettas, but as a transportation appliance, Japanese scooters are pretty good.

For the most part, stay away from Chinese scooters (there are exceptions) as they are pretty poorly manufactured.

me, I'll take a 1966 lambretta TV200 anyday. if anyone has a Vintage scooter chime in! this winter I am restoring a 1965 Vespa ss180, a 1960 GS150, and a 1962 Vespa 150 VBB.

heres some pics of my prior work.. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v638/cruciformx/53%20allstate%20resto/ http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v638/cruciformx/57%20Allstate%20resto/ http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v638/cruciformx/Gran%20Turismo%20Restoration/
