I am selling a sweet 1978 Piaggio Vespa P125X. This scooter has been fitted with an early LML Stella engine (premix, not auto-mix), which increased the displacement from 125cc to 150cc -- and a stock, 4-speed LML gearbox. The engine has been modified with a Mazzucchell crankshaft, which eliminates the danger or crankshaft bearing failure to which the early LML engines were prone. In addition, it has been fitted with a chrome Pinasco high-performance exhausti (the jetting on the carb has been modified to compensate for this), and it has Sebac high-performance shocks. In addition, it has an Ancilotti racing seat and a pair of dog-leg levers, and the one on the clutch has a fine-tuning adjustment. The original Piaggio US-export taillight assembly has been replaced with a Harley-Davidson "tombstone" taillight assembly with a "blue dot." Tires are a pair of Continental Zippy 1 racing tires, which have been painted to resemble continental whitewall tires. It has recently been repainted to pretty much its original color, only it's now two-tone. Everything works except the neutral light, and that's only because upon rebuild a gearshift selector box was used which wasn't equipped for a neutral switch, or the early LML engines didn't have one to begin with (the original Piaggio engine would have had one). The horn's nothing to write home about, but it does work. It has a large, locking glovebox, and a very durable steering-column lock. There are a few tools, an oil measuring cup (again, there's a non-functioning oil tank from the old auto-mix engine, but the rider must now add oil to the gas tank with every fill up). The only remaining stock part it's missing is a "P125X" badge on the left cowl; otherwise, it's all there and working properly. There's also a set of front crashbars, which have not yet been mounted, although the holes to mount it already exist. The combination of the LML engine and gearbox, Pinasco exhaust and Continental Zippy 1 tires means this thing is INSANELY fast. In its current setup, it has only been ridden up to third gear, which QUICKLY got it up well over the speed limit; it had lots of latitude for more acceleration in third, let alone fourth. The tires are in good condition, and should hold the road well at high speeds and on cornering. Please contact me with any questions.
