What does everyone think of the LX (do they do a 150??) - like the look of it on this pic. And another question - what's the name of the old metallic green from the really early vespa, does it have a code ref?  |

I like the LX. It's like a baby version of my GT. The missus is dying to get one but refuses to pay the brand new prices. We'll probably give it another year until the 2nd hand prices get a bit more reasonable.

They're nice - easy to ride & quite zippy in traffic due to them being small - but you're not cramped on them at all. Very well thought out design. They do a 150 version for the American market but 125 is the largest they do for the UK. They've just brought unveiled the Vespa S at the motorbike show which is very cool looking (again 125 for the UK). It's basically an LX but very cool looking. Pic & description of it is here: www.myvespa.com/index.php?subject_id=24&PHPSESSID=d52d39948d4fa1243359c88ef28d0847I had the LX 50 up until tuesday when a car decided not to notice me waiting to turn right in the middle of the road so just drove straight through me. I got a hire bike from the insurance company & my little vespa was on the back of the van - it looked pretty dead :-( |

Nothing that won't mend thanks. Broken wrist & some nice bruises and a stiff neck.
By far the worst injury is to my image - I'm now riding on a bright orange yamaha neos plastic hire bike.....
Truly, truly awful..
It's starting to affect me already & I'm getting a hankering towards wearing a burberry baseball cap with tracky bottoms & a hoody.... innit tho!

Glad to know you're ok Ben. Hope you take the Driver for everything he's got. Make sure he has an eye test too.

Thanks. It's been dealt with very quickly - I got a call from his insurance today making an offer which I accepted & they've sent payment.. So only took a week. I have got a personal injury claim in which will take longer so no upgrade to a brand new LXV for me yet then... However - I'm now able to go out & buy a new scoot so may go for a geared one this time.. Seen a nice looking PK50 with a 110 kit on ebay & some nice PX125's & T5's in scooter trader if I pull my finger out & re do my CBT...  |
