The economy isn’t getting any better, petrol prices still increase, pay freezes, increasing food costs…something has to give.  With many households having 2 and 3 cars, you can probably afford to give one up in favour of a Vespa scooter. 

With extremely low running costs, you woul dbe crazy not to consider it.  Based on a 125cc Vespa scooter that will do around 70 mph, you will get in the region of 80 mpg, road tax at £15 per year and insurance of around £150 based on a 40 yr old male.  Compare that to your car!

Not only that but it’s like jumping up from a Fiesta to a Ferrari because a Vespa scooter is certainly a head turner giving you instant super chic credability!

So it’s a win win all round.  Take a look at our used Vespa scooters now and grab yourelf a bargain and a Life!

There is no doubt that a Vespa scooter is desireable by many and there is no doubt that Vespa is a very strong brand that does an outstanding job of saying a multitude of things about its owner. 

But what about depreciation? is it possible to make money out of a Vespa scooter?  well recent models have reached the dizzy heights of around £4200 for 300 GTS Super which in scooter terms is a lot of money – but this is a Vespa. Compared to the average car, depreciation is very minimal.  As a Vespa scooter owner, my 3 year old GTS with around 7000 miles has probably lost about 27% of it’s value compared to an average car which could lose anything upto 70% over the first 3 years and in the current climate, even more. 

The Vespa scooter will become even more desirable as the economy tightens, fuel prices increase, taxation increases and insurance increases.

Of course vintage Vespa scooters command a pretty penny, even those in poor condition.  A well taken care of desirable model can easily fetch in excess of £4000.

So get on the band wagon, get yourself a Vespa scooters, save £££ now, save on depreciation and potentially have an investment in the garage for the kids…!  Take a look at our wide range of Vespa scooters now.

The time has come when you have finally had the green light to purchase a Vespa motor scooter, but when choosing a Vespa what should you look for? Well, first of all, are you looking for a new Vespa or a second hand Vespa, this is really the starting point and will determine the main differences.  New Vespas, produced after September 2008 all have 4 stroke engines and are automatic.  Prior to this date there were a wide range of autos and manual gearboxes.  Historically Vespas where 2 stroke and up until 28th Aug 2008, the Vespa PX was the last of the 2 strokes.  2 stroke = start up smoke and you have to mix 2 stroke oil with the petrol, whereas 4 stroke is much cleaner and efficient and means you simply put petrol in the tank. If you are wanting a Vespa as a commuter, travelling on it daily and therefore want complete reliability, then a 4 stroke will give more reliability. Don’t get me wrong, 2 strokes are reliable, just not as much as a 4 stroke!  Then we come to frame size, there are small frames and large frames, so subject to your height, you may want something a little on the more petite size….the new models cover small and large frame sizes with small frames up to 125cc.  Engine size…do you have a full motorcycle license or just a CBT? if you have a CBT (compulsory basic training) you can ride up to a 125cc with L plates but cannot carry pillion or ride on motorways.  The CBT is a day course and costs around £100 and must be taken every 2 years thereafter.  Take your full test and remove all the restrictions.   A 50cc is fine for round town or city use but may struggle when facing gradients an open roads where higher speeds apply, whereas 125cc will typically get you to 70+.   View a wide range of second hand Vespas or new Vespas, or even place a wanted ad on Vespas For Sale.

Well, it’s quite simple really, sell the gas guzzler and buy yourself a Vespa.  At anything around 80-90 mpg clearly it would make perfect sense especially for those commuting, in the city and those who don’t have to travel epic journeys each day, although, even so, this wouldn’t be a problem for a Vespa.  I run a Vespa GTS 125, I get around 85 mpg, with a top speed of around 74 mph, it certainly doesn’t hold up the traffic.  The petrol tank holds approx 9.2 litres of unleaded petrol so there is around 180 miles between stops.   Petrol taxation has just increased by 1p per litre with another increase due in January and more than likely more to follow, so, make the change now! all those trips you make to the post office, to the bank, out for lunch and shopping; you are hit with parking charges…not quite the same on a Vespa as there are lots of free places to park, even many paid for car parks have sections that are free for motorcyclists / Vespa scooters.  You won’t only save on petrol and parking charges with a Vespa; you will also save on tax which is currently just £15 per year for a 125cc and of course insurance which will also be considerably less.  All this sounds too good to be true, but that’s not all.  If you are after a means of transport that is a guaranteed head turner, you needn’t fork out on some flash German 4 wheeled brand with an over the top price tag – the Vespa will take care of you in this department too!  For the widest range of Vespa scooters for sale visit www.vespasforsale.co.uk or specifically new Vespa scooters at http://www.vespasforsale.co.uk/vespa-px-for-sale.html and used Vespa scooters at http://www.vespasforsale.co.uk/vespa-used.html
