The Vespa is a line of motor scooters that was first manufactured in Genoa, Italy in 1946 by Piaggio & Co, S.p.A. Piaggio continues to manufacture the Vespa today, although the Vespa was a much more prevalent vehicle in the 1950s and 60s when it became the adopted vehicle of choice for the UK youth-culture known as Mods, and later Skinheads. The classic Vespas had unibody chassis pressed from sheets of steel, with bodywork covering the legs for protection from rain and mud. The engine was covered completely by a steel cowling to appeal to a broader market of people, often turned off by the dirty/greasy stereotype often applied to motorcycles. Piaggio revolutionized the two-wheel industry with the Vespa and provided a model on which nearly every other scooter made since has been based.

last time i checked this wasnt a car...

It was designed by Mussolini...I'm not sure what that says about it

Only cool if the person riding it is a guitar swinging alien who happens to be a chick.

Hold On, Not Done Accelerating

Well, we are talking about scooters here.....

well.....the scooter is made by Honda........

I'm willing to bet that the Silverwing's 0-60 time will be significally faster than whatever it is you drive.

Yup, you can actually ride this one on the highway without endangering yourself.

Well that's no fun, now is it?
