I had a SX200 back in the late 60's, early 70's. Sold it in around 1973 so I could get my first car. Regretted it ever since, especially as I sold it for £110. Loved my SX200.
@@VESPAUKofficial well, petrol was around 17p a gallon and 1 shot was about 1p..About a dozen of us had scooters, all but one on Lambrettas. Mine was the only SX200, I had it rebored to 225, competion clutch, Amal carb (cannot remember the size) and GT200 gears. It went very well. Not sure that it is still around, the lad I sold to came of it a few times in as many weeks, my pride and joy. What would it be worth today £12000 - £15000.
@@allanthomas-wc8ff 17p a gallon, I mean wow. Thanks for sharing that with me. Love the stories from those times. You guys had some good times huh ? How things have changed now
Constructive feedback be good to hear the tapping sound issue before fix and maybe some marks on timeline otherwise nixe video fam we outchea mayne vespa gang nz
I dont understand why people pay so much for RA scooters when you can buy a PX which is manual and 2 stroke (a real scooter) for around 2k! Saying that you can buy an actual 2 stroke Lammy for the price of a new RA!
Great video! Enjoyed it immensely. I’ve ridden motorcycles for 40 plus years and am contemplating a Vespa. I currently own a VStrom and a 1977 BMW airhead. I’ve always worked on my own bikes and I do like the older bikes. I’m thinking about a two stroke manual Vespa, could you suggest a year and model range to look at? Any suggestions in what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again! Joe
Thank you very much for such positive comment, really appreciate that. 40 years as a biker, wow that’s a lot. You have more experience than any of us here. As for two stroke Vespa, I believe PX is a good choice, very popular scooter and lots of spare parts ( you gonna need those for sure lol ) myself I enjoy auto scooters a lot and manual is not for me. Although a lot of riders are the opposite and love manuals only. Also BMW airhead what an awesome bike. Wishing you all the best
I have commented to you before. Above... I renewed the antifreeze 1 year ago. I make additions from time to time. When I just checked, it's at max level. I don't use Vespa right now. The weather here is snowy and rainy. I will only provide electricity in December, January, February and March. Do I still need to check antifreeze? Or what should I do? Thanks
You guys crack me up! I really enjoy your channel...lots of humor (or "humour") that is much needed (and appreciated) these days here in the States. Yessir, I subbed...yessir, I "liked"...and, like The Terminator, "I'll be back!"
I’d choose a PX over a modern GTS any day. Keeping it old school. Vespa has lost Vespa by becoming too modern as I’m concerned. Brilliant channel and content. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. It helped me figure out how to remove the rear clad/cowl/fender. It would have been helpful to identify which bolts needed removing and that the latches for the side panels needed to be removed too. I might do a video that shows more specific details to help others do it.

Ey up guys. Ive just been bonging your videos and you had me laughing out loud. Great content. So. That got me thinking, is your channel on facebook. I see it is but you havent posted in 18 months. Have you abandoned facebook?
