I reckon this depends on the model? There are gazillions of PX s around, so all good I reckon, but some of the older bikes are extremely rare now, and you might upset a fair few Vespa enthusiasts if you were to chop up a GS for example!!!!

I've got a standard 1984 PX but I've dropped on a 86 PX cutdown that looks proper mental,thinking of buying it as a toy to just rip round on,just wondering what the thoughts are on cutdowns

I assumed most cut downs were to get rid of serial numbers or rust. But if you want a cutdown id suggest you buy one rather than chop a perfectly good one down. If you like cutdowns thats cool. You dont need an ok from anyone else  |

Only reason to cut down any scooter is tin worm or to hide damage as far as I see it .the whole frame is your chasie remove a piece you compromise yourself and others they should All banned from the road
