khunAus Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Hello I am considering buying a vesper motorbike (older style), and am considering taking this back to Australia with me when I return (only an option at this point and atleast 6 months away). I was wondering where is a good place to look in the bangkok area (are there any dedicated shops etc) and what sort of price I can expect to be looking at for one in good condition. Any help appreciated. Khun Aus Edited February 16, 2006 by khunAus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vast majority of motorbikes and vehicles (cars & Trucks) in Thailand do not meet the safety requirements of western countries because 1) the wiring is not the proper gauge 2) safety glass is not used.

johnh101 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 If you mean a "VESPA". There is one for sale in a bar called 'Route 69' in Soi six Pattaya. It is an older model and looks in good condition. I am not sure but I think he wants 65K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Vespas are really a fad, almost a cult or a fetish, among Thais. You should go to a convention, show or parade of Vespas - incredible! The world's fastest popcorn popper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afalang Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 There are 2 nice looking Vespas for sale in the Rayong area. Falang owner called Barry has 2 for sale, both fully restored, new paint, recon engines etc and they are taxed and insured and have books. They also have quite a bit of chrome on them too. They look the 'goods' but after all they are only Vespas so they dont have the sexy look of a Lambretta !!! There is a big scooter shop in Bangkok at Ratchathewi. Its called Thai Vespa Shop, they have a big spare parts warehouse as they sell a lot over the net. There are always at least 50 scooters outside and 6 more inside the tiny little workshop. They are all friendly and will always offer drinks or coffee if your shopping for parts. Limited lambretta stuff but endless supply of vespa gear. Finally... this may be of interest.....there is a big scooter show on in Pattaya this month, not sure of the date, but there are bound to be several for sale on the day. Other than that try www.thaiscooter.com scroll down and click on the Vespa & Lambretta Classifieds page. then just browse through the classifieds..... thats how i found my SeXy Lammy ;o) good luck !
