This is exactly like my 76' Ciao, This video helped me by showing me the original paint scheme colors for the trim, mine needs re painted. So thank you!
I purchased a base model 1973 Ciao that had the rectangular light in Nice, France in November 1973. Great little bike for riding the hills between Cannes and the Italian border... I’d love to have one just like it.
I own 3 of these :-) But mine are from the 80's. Two of them I have COMPLETELY restored to almost factory condition. The third one I use to get to work :-) ... But I agree, keep that one as an original. Don't change a thing on it. It's a piece of history and very rare in that condition.
I have one question. What is the right position of the ignition cable which opens up the decompression valve? From the back of the cilinder head and the stopper on the hook in front or through the hook first and the stopper between the head and the cilinder?
Just purchased a 1977 SC model. I know nothing about it but it runs sting and has %95 original parts. It needs tired but I have found are 2.25 or 2.25 width . The ones on it now are 2.00. Will the larger width fit? Also want to upgrade the the rest of the bike in the future. Any help is much appreciated thanks
forse sono i nomi esteri dei prodotti. come l'apecar si chiama vespacar come nome commerciale per l'export.... ci sta che il ciao magari avesse nomi diversi... boh la butto li
In many parts of the world it was released, marketed and advertised as: "Vespa Ciao". So depending on what country you're in, it's either known as a Piaggio Ciao or a Vespa Ciao. BOTH are correct. Example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nrc-P2Nuyck.html
@@ilsolda7492 vespa is not a vehicle it is the subbrand of the manufacturer piaggio such as Lincoln or murcury is to ford or any other big company that sells vehicles under a different name. In the United States it was imported as a vespa ciao but in the rest of the world it was a piaggio ciao they are the same thing I own 3 ciao's and on all of their titles it says vespa as the manufacturer. Also vespa is not 1 singular vehicle it is a brand with many different models
You really shouldn't start any moped standing on the stand like that... Also you need to pedal when taking off... You roasted your clutch when you took off.
It's a museum. Chances are its going to be left as is, even if sold. Tho if the person was going to ride it, I would recommend the aftermarket work. It's common in MA (where they are from) to make roadworthy upgrades. The roadways are far to poorly paved and the drivers are too reckless, to safely travel their streets on a stock moped. Unless specifically the deepest of Boston's down town area. Anywhere outside the downtown area, is going to want to have some upgrades. It's a shame to mess with such a nice bike but it is also a shame to destroy the front end on a giant pothole.
Great looking girl you got right there :)! Please do not change anything on this bike if you want to 'upgrade' it buy another one this is just a nice piece to keep in 1 piece. All the info you can ever need for this bike is availible at: vespa-ciao.nl/index.php For all your parts regarding this moped or the sister/brother types feel free to contact me. vespa-ciao.nl/forums.php?m=posts&q=32733&n=last#bottom
Hey i know this is a weird question but it seems like you know alot about ciaos, i have a ciao from the 1970 something and i really need some side cover so do you have any tips about which site i can find this. Its not the usual cover the brackets are diffrent. It is a plus if it is in eu because i live in Sweden.
@@LorenzoSpolaor Depending on the location, it was marketed differently. In some parts of the world it was marketed as "Piaggio Ciao" (mainly in europe) - in other parts of the world it was marketed as "Vespa Ciao", like in the USA as an example. So yeah = is it as Vespa - is it a Ciao!? Technically it's both :-)
