Well, I went Italian.....

[Stig / Major Tom]

After much,... well - a whole lot of thinking & studying. I decided to replace a 400cc Suzuki, not with a 280cc Honda - but with a 155cc Italian.
Visited my very busy local Vespa dealer today. He half-un-crated a 2018 Piaggio Liberty 150 S so I could look it over & sit on it.
My interest was down to the white 150 or the red 150S. (don't buy a scooter color you don't like - like I did with the Burgman. In my defense - they were all lousy colors for a few yrs)
Have spoken with 4 dealers in a 75 mile radius. There were issues with the color and/or their price (across a $500 range!) - so, I made a deposit locally on the red S model, & at a very fair price.






My wife's on-board with this purchase. I told her after a few weeks I'll look like this, again.

Very nice choice and you won't have to rebuild the seat.

Nice scooter and color too. Can't wait for your rider review. When do you take possession?

Congratulations Stig!! Give us a report when you take possession. My Kymco is red, my Helix is red, my Lexus is Red, my Civic is red. Good choice.

Nice, love the color.

Red is the fastest color.

Red is the fastest color.

Actually I think according to the Police it's yellow but red is more common. :-)

I'll bet the Like won't be making as many trips to your favorite little coffee shop after you take delivery. Those Italian scooters are very quite, so I know you made the right chose. Will be looking for your write-ups and pictorials about it. I love red. Congratulations Tom.

Great choice Stig, & I agree on color.  Get something you're at least OK with (and yeah, Burgmans haven't had any good colors in years..)

Personally I loved the blue, but the red's nice, & even the white on those is OK. 
Great bike, & welcome to the world of the big wheel scoots.

Read a nice review of the Liberty 150. http://www.justgottascoot.com/liberty150

That is a sharp looking scooter. I like the styling and color.
I bought my wife a Scarabeo 200 about 3-4 years ago. It has been a good dependable scoot.
If you have dealer support close by, that is a real plus.

Very nice! Will be hanging on every word you utter in evaluating this machine. When Stig speaks,,,,we ALL listen! Yes, we do!

Excellent choice, Stig! I know that Mr. Paul will join me in saying that if it is anything like a People 150, you will absolutely love how it rides and corners. Have a blast, and when you stop riding for a second, give us the full run-down on it - we'll be waiting with anticipation.
