Jack, show and tell descriptions often miss not so obvious bits; as the resident expert, you’ve once again discovered the fallings of this description. Must be as a result of many years of superb advertising writings and diligent practise.
And Steve, the video was was interesting, Uncle Jack Reipe’s introspective comments aside.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing as Jack. But I still enjoyed the information. Makes it look so simple to just snap everything in place. So who preassembled the front end? -Lori
Re-tightening the handlebar is part of the PDI/setup.
A bigger error is made by the narrator, who says the engine displaces 150cc. The bike being built is a GTS 300 Super, which has an engine displacing 278cc.
In some markets, Piaggio offers a GTS 125i.e. I wonder just how gutless something like that might be…
Nice video. That show on the science channel is one of my favorite ones. I didn’t know that the Vespa was water cooled….
Dear SITS (Steve):
I enjoyed that little short on the birth of a Vespa scooter. BVut they never do show you the final tightening of the handlebars. Scary, huh?
Sincerely,

Richard: The 250 and larger engines on the Vespa are water cooled. The smaller ones are air cooled.
Jack: You steer with your body anyways so who needs tight handlebars?
Bryce: Wouldn’t it be a boring world if every written or filmed piece was perfect and complete? There would be no variety at all….
BeemerGirl: You and Jack have much higher expectations of YouTube than I do. I’m usually happy to have sound and see shapes moving on the screen…
Orin: The Vespa 125 would probably be like riding a Vino. Maybe.
