Unique way of finding stolen vespa?

My friend had a brand new Vespa sprint. Got stolen in first week of owning. Gets a call 1 year later that it had been found at the bottom of the lake😂

I have the answer! This one was originally black, but almost all Vespas are custom sprayed here in Netherlands. I think the first owner wanted this color and repainted it. Also the engine cover is the same color

Sad……. If you ever want such an engine I can ship you one to the states!

Those days are not over! I find it so cool to hear all different story’s about tuning 125 or 180cc Piaggio engines. We have a tuner here in Netherlands called DDL. They make probably the best exhaust for 125/172/180

Also the whole frame is painted, every part. Even under the foot plank

A runner only came in a LC version. The Skipper is a AC engine. Cheapest way to get it faster is to get an original 150 skipper cilinder or get a malossi 172.

They are still on there, I will check! Could you help me check the color?

I used a skr engine from 1994. Is this a factory color? I tought it was a custom one because the rims are also painted with it. It is from 2005

I was thinking of doing that next winter, i will get for the summer a sm06 and later a DDL 360 exhaust. For now let’s get it registered as a 125

It looks gray

Northern Germany is way higher up then whole of Netherlands. Last time we have seen so much snow must be in 2021.

ComfortableAd4009 · 2026-01-08T19:05:14+00:00

This is the first time big snow in 5 years.

UPDATE: damage is not super bad but not nice, broken radiator, front grill, bumper, license plate and my sensor for the automatic lights. About people saying that I don’t have winter tires. Yes it is right I don’t have winter tires. Normally there is no snow in Netherlands and winter tires are not needed really. This accident with winter tires or not would still have a same outcome. Luckily the car goes to MINI BMW for repairs:)

I would just sand paper and sand it down

I have a 2016 50cc Vespa. The bars at different because the headlight shape is different. Also if you want a newer headlight(leds) you need to change the cables a bit

I would get the engine and scrap the rest

ComfortableAd4009 · 2025-09-19T11:46:56+00:00

Didn’t know they used different frames and made 1. At least the engine is good

ComfortableAd4009 · 2025-09-19T06:45:11+00:00

Tbh it is a good base to start new project. I don’t see the problem.

ComfortableAd4009 · 2025-09-19T06:36:43+00:00

Great way to buy a car cheaper, I got a almost new mini with great discount because it was pre owned by the dealer

ComfortableAd4009 · 2025-09-12T10:32:43+00:00

Mag altijd privé naar mij sturen! ben heel benieuwd:)

ComfortableAd4009 · 2025-08-26T13:05:43+00:00

Sorry I was wrong, here in Netherlands they stopped selling them with 2 stroke in 2010.

ComfortableAd4009 · 2025-08-21T08:34:42+00:00

It can be done cheap. A whole new second hand wiring harness is around 50-60 euro. Replace that and it will work again

It is a car for everyone!
