This is a 1956 Faro Basso vespa restored from ground up with most new parts. This scooter has been stripped down to bare metal, all the old worn parts were thown away and we installed all the new genuine parts to give it a second life. This is a original 2 stroke 125cc vespa manufactured by Piaggio in 1956 with 3 speed constant mess transmission, a manual clutch with gear shifter on the left handle makes it a fun scooter to drive. Here is the quick list of upgrades we have done to this gorgeous vespa:
-
10″ wheels for better performance and control, 8″ will disappoint tall drivers. The 10″ wheel scooter will bring you more comfortable drive feeling especially at speed and long journey. We use a whole 10″ fork assembly , not a cut and weld version.
-
12V CDI electric system installed for bright light and real horn. Its how we combine latest technology in every restoration process. With this kit upgrade, you do not have to deal with the mess original 6v point which requires your knowledge to troubleshoot.
