Vespa
The Problem
I'd taken a new office in town and didn't want to drive everywhere, or kit up in full gear and jump on the motorbike just to cross the city. I also wanted to be able to pop down to the beach after work with the GF on the back.
The Brief
An easy, good-looking office runabout. Something I could ride in normal clothes, park anywhere, take two-up to the coast, and still detail to the last bolt.
The Solution
I've always loved Vespas, and I wanted one to live at the office as my around-town bike. A 2012 GTS 300ie Super became the base, then got sharpened everywhere it counts: an Akrapovic exhaust for the voice, 13 inch wheels and fresh tyres for the stance, Power 1 Styling lighting front and rear, and a run of small metal details, Oberon mirrors, Rizoma style grips, CNC bag hook and dip sticks. A genuine Vespa top box with matching back pad and a bench seat keep it practical for two, finished with the VSPA WP plate. All work and a full service by Scoot Dr.
