WTB: Moped or Vespa - Reccomendations?

[winstontj]

I'm looking to buy a moped for around Boston getting to work & back and to have something new to screw around with. Does anyone have any suggestions on brand & age that I should look for or avoid?

I like hondas & Vespas but dont know anything about them. I'm pretty sure that anything under 50cc is ok wothout a license so I want something that is 49.9999 cc that has a lot of aftermarket bolt ons like carburetors, exhaust, etc.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

yamaha zuma's are popular to build up, big bore, exhaust, etc.

I used to work at a motorcycle shop called arlen ness and the vespa's we sold there were always a big hit for people wanting to cruise around town. I believe that the fly 50 is your best bet. A few extra options are available on that one. Good luck on the search!

moped with a big bore kit. im guessing if they pull you over, they wont disassemble your engine to find out if you are running an oversized piston/bore.

I dont even know how much to spend or if I should buy a POS and fix it up or spend the $ on a newer or nicer one...

Be a man and spend your money on a nice bike. If you just motoring around a city you might as well get in shape. Plus your not on a moped ... period.

Its more for the girlfriend but I'll use it too. Maybe we're from different places but around progressive cities like Boston, NYC, SanFran, LA or any beach bum location like Newport, RI, Martha's Vinyard, Nantucket, Bermuda or any of the other islands it's actually a pretty popular method of transportation. Sorry if you aren't comfortable enough with your sexuality to be caught dead on a moped... Better stick with calling people gay & flying the stars & bars... yeah that's much more progressive & open-minded....

dude... mopeds are universally gay. You are in denial.

try driving that POS truck down the streets in Boston... OH and I'd show you a pic of my girl but you'd probably stay up at night whacking to the pic...

Anyway regardless of whether or not you think they are gay or that people that drive them are gay - do you know anything about them?

I'm willing to bet if you posted a picture of your girl that this thread would go the way of kate525i, only faster.

Besides if I wanted to see a picture of a girl that matches the caliber of yours, all i have to do is google Rupaul.

Eat a microscopic lobstah dick.

my friend used to have a honda spree that we used to ride in the woods. we'd ghost ride it into trees and run over huge logs and shit. thats definately not gay, just a good time.
