Hey. so basically ive been 16 for a while now and i fancied something different to my push bike to get arund on so i set my heart on a vespa. now im not talking about one of the newer ones, i like the style of the one on the lynx 3 in 1 advert and i made this picture collage of all the shots of the vespa not knowing what kind it is. SO i was wondering if you know a model name for this kind of vespa or something similiar, it would have to be 50cc as ill be riding it on a priovisional license abd also it will be my first bike so something, beginner'ish? Heres the collage!

Think it's also called a Vespa 50N.
They are not that common in the UK, the 50 Special was the model sold here through the late 70's & 80's, restricted to 30mph. Essentially the same as the 50N but it has a rectangular headlight, dual seat, different wheels & rear light..
The one in the advert is a Vespa 125 or 150 of '59 - mid 60's vintage.

Alright so what would you recommend i get? Ive never had a motorised vehicle before. It has to have 2 seats. It has to be 50cc. It has to have the retro style thats in the above. Thanks

Depends on budget. Also, you'll need to learn to ride a geared scooter if you're looking at a classic, so when you do your CBT make sure it's on a T5, LML or motorbike (the school will hire them). The 2 seat thing comes as standard unless it's the split 2 seats pictured above, which you don't normally find. Or, you could go for a new auto Vespa instead - LX50...lots of choices really - you're best doing a bit more research before making any decisions just yet
