VESPA: Classic & Cool, or Cheeky & Geeky?
What are your thoughts? 
Vespa has been "mod" in Europe for decades, and they're now becoming quite "mod" in the U.S. Perhaps urbanization and rising gas prices is helping scooter enthusiasm rise, but will it ever gain respect?
On one hand, Vespas are functional, great on gas, cheap to insure, distinctive, and have excellent resale value.
On the other hand, they're expensive, high maintenance, slow compared to other scooters, and laughable at times.

I dig Vespa's, although the price is steep as others have said. Fairly certain you don't need a motorcycle license to drive one which is why I suspect they are quite popular in NYC.

Great for dense urban areas or planned communities. For everything else, forget it.

To paraphrase Pete Townsend if your a "mod" they're cool if your your a "greaser" they're not, that will take you back to 1968 or so
