1997 Vespa model T5 Classic (PX 125). Red metallic, catches the sun, see pictures. Renewed to contemporary aspects of PX style, even if this bike had already been a classic for two decades. PX was introduced in 1977, ending in 2007.
• white indicator housings, yellow bulbs, like a 2007 PX125/200
• halogen headlight
• good quality electric upgrade (made in Italy by Ducati)
• tan "leather" seat (T5 Millenium seat)
• Michelin S1 tyres front and rear, nearly new
• brand new chromed wing mirrors
• extra horsepower from Sito Plus exhaust
• only 7000 miles
• MANUAL clutch and gearbox in good shape, won't need new oil until 12000 miles
• spare tyre, covered by the bodywork
I will include a full set of cable replacements for emergencies and a second spark plug*
• engine widely known as the best 2 stroke Piaggio ever made
• starts first time
• 5 intake ports, hence T5; recognisable, noticeably loud popping sound
• learner legal
• ONLY MANUAL VESPA suitable for the A2 standard bike test AND legal to ride solo with 'L' plates, results eventually in a license for any manual or automatic bike
• 2 other kinds of manual: Hayne's and Piaggio, Hayne's (will include) is the best, Piaggio's online
• logbook (V5C)
• MOT till June 18th, see VIEWING below if you would like to inspect before the end of the auction
• road tax is £1.25 a month, expires at the end of the month but easy online at direct.gov.uk/taxdisk
• no congestion charge!
• astonishingly small amounts of petrol needed
• likewise, a litre of oil lasts hundreds of miles, half a litre of synthetic oil left in a bottle (will include)
since it's still insured, taxed and with MOT under my name, I will consider DELIVERY for £50 within London. Outside London please consider a recovery firm like motorcyclerecovery.co.uk, who charge £100 for moving a bike very professionally.
I'm selling after my A2 test, I passed!
