Well first off welcome to the site and don't abuse the smilies, or caps lock. Also, people can change wikipedia whenever they want so since I am sure that there is no vespa in the world that can go 400mph, someone put that in as a joke.

It's a Vespa super sport, they might say it somewhere in the anime, but that's defiantly the case in the manga.
There are some pics on this website if you want to see a real life one.

thank you for the welcome, the advice wasnt need just got a new key board because the caps lock was stuck on the other one so yeah, thanks for the pics squirrel master..and obviously a vespa cannot go 400mph and everyone knows that people put crap on wikipedia all the time. still it would be cool if it went 400 mph.

Man that looks so old school in that picture, but Haruko's vespa looks brand new..then again I guess it's hard to tell since I'm comparing photo's to animation or w/e

Good luck finding one, they're pretty damn scarce, and I wouldn't doubt that the price tag is not very small either...

But come to think of it, I believe a member posted a link to Ebay of a user selling a very similar looking Vespa somewhere on this forum..[/i]

yeah i read the other vespa posts it seems that the 180 supersport is the type of vespa but they were made in 1964-65 and are hard to find so im sure its not easy to come by one and if you do they arent cheap either like you said

Because even the larger 150cc Vespas barely got to highway speed and didn't get there any time soon it's fairly cheap. People don't drive them recklessly very often, especially the older classic Vespas they restored themselves. Although if you get a 50cc Vespa you don't need a license/registration/insurance/plates. Although you can just get a 50cc small frame and throw a larger, say 150cc with a big bore kit, stroked, larger carb, etc. and you can ride it around with no license simply because the VIN will say it's a 50cc.
Look up there not down here.
