I would think you would have no problem finding a used one.

I suggest you check out ModernVespa.com and pose any concerns you have there. There are lots of experienced people monitoring and posting. I find it a fantastic resource for all things modern Vespa!

anonymous: Depending on the grade the LX150 would certainly slow down going up a steep hill. One road here that goes over a mountain I can go between 40 and 50 MPH. With a passenger I bet I would lose 10 MPH.

steven: Congratulatons! I can’t think of many things cooler to win. (Except maybe one of those 100 million dollar lotteries…)

And it couldn’t have come at a better time. About two weeks ago I was in a collision that totaled my Kymco. As if not being too badly hurt wasn’t lucky enough, being given this much better replacement will truly be a blessing. I hope to get as much enjoyment from this scoot as you all seem to have!

Would you have difficulty going up hill for example? Thanx in advance for the tips.

Your posts have answered every question i had when i first started looking at the possibility of purchasing a Vespa. That was almost a month ago and now as of 12:38PM I am a proud owner of a brand new LX150 and i couldn’t be happier. I was able to stop riding for just long enough to write this comment. Thanks again and good luck in all of your riding adventures

I would suggest visiting the Modern Vespa forum and checking what information is there. You can also post a question and people can give you firsthand information.

Good luck!

I am stuck between the LX150, and the new S150 they are introducing next month. Does anyone have a take on which one would be best? After reading your article I am leaning toward the LX…but I have to say I love the look of the new model.
