This 1976 Vespa Super 150 was acquired by the seller in 2022 and subsequently refurbished in a project that included powder-coating the bodywork in blue and overhauling the 145cc two-stroke single. The crankshaft, top end, gaskets, and clutch were replaced, and additional work included installing a 12-volt charging system and a European-style taillight. Features include a four-speed manual transmission, a kick starter, a two-up seat, oil injection, a trailing-link front end, a locking storage compartment, a spare tire rack, a luggage hook, 8″ two-piece wheels, and a center stand. This Sprint 150 is now offered at no reserve with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
Bodywork repairs were carried out under current ownership, after which the scooter was powder-coated Ocean blue and then clear-coated. Features include bright trim, a replacement horn, a headlight, a European-style taillight, a center stand, a two-gallon fuel tank, a two-up seat, a passenger grab strap, a luggage hook, a locking storage compartment in the left-rear fender, and rubber and aluminum footboard runners. The turn signals were removed in the refurbishment. The seller notes imperfections in the power-coating, photos of which can be viewed in the gallery, and the chrome headlight trim is scratched.
Two-piece 8″ silver-painted wheels wear a mixed set of Cheng Shin and Michelin tires. Suspension consists of a single-sided trailing-link front end as well as a single shock at the rear. Braking is from drums at both ends. A spare tire and rim are mounted behind the fairing.
The handlebar shroud houses a 110-km/h Veglia Borletti speedometer and a five-digit odometer showing 3 kilometers (~2 miles). Total mileage is unknown.
The air-cooled 145cc two-stroke single is said to have been overhauled under current ownership with a replacement crank, top end, bearings, and seals. The engine is integrated with the rear swingarm and transfers power to the rear wheel through a four-speed manual transmission that is shifted by the left-side twist-grip. The charging system was reportedly changed to a 12-volt system under current ownership, and additional features include a Spaco carburetor, a kick starter, oil injection, and an exhaust system that exits beneath the rear bodywork. The clutch is said to have been replaced.
Photos showing work completed under current ownership can be viewed in the gallery.
The bike is registered as Planned Non-Operation in the state of California. Its registration expired in January 2023.
