I want a vespa?

Question

i want to buy a vespa. how many mileage can they get in their whole vespa life? do i need a special license for a vespa? this type of vespa is probably above a 50cc so i would need a license but do i need a special license for it? also, how much does it cost to insure a vespa rather than a car?

Answer 1

Thats awesome, you should totally buy it! yes, you do need a special license, you would need to go through a motorcycle safety course and get a motorcycle license. not sure on insurance costs but to give you an idea, i have a 200cc bike that costs about 400 a year for insurance. i don't think thats too expensive. good luck, it should last you a while and get GREAT gas mileage!!!

Answer 2

The law on license very from state to state I would say go head and get your motorcycle license and take a MSF class this will keep Ins down. ins is very low cost for a vespa. as long as you keep up on the maint on the bike you can get well over 75k out of it.

Smart move!!

Answer 3

The amount of mileage that you can get on a vespa will vary depending on how you ride it.  If you are easy on it and maintain it well, then it will last a long time.  You could easily see 100K miles.  On the other hand if you neglect it and give it h**l, then you could only see 10K miles.  For a 150cc scooter, you will need a standard motorcycle license and you will have to have the bike registered.  You can also expect to pay around 100-150 a year for liability only insurance.
