Shop around. My Spree was under $400. The problem with Vespas is that they are over 50cc. You need to get an L or M liscense then and need to pay more for insurance. In some states, if it is under 50cc, you don't need to pay ANY insurance

You could always buy 2 Metropolitans and strip off the plastics and paint the frame leaving you with pretty much a Ruckus. Or buy the Ruckus, they look cool, for scooters that is.

I got a 1985 Jawa 50cc 2 speed auto. I got it for $150, plus another $150 for all new clutches. Took it up to my cottage this summer, never had so much fun on it

got to bear chasing, and it did real well on skidoo trails.
