wheelie on a scooter is not that hard. all the weight is in the back so you just lean back and pull. not having it fall over and end up on top of you is the hard part. i used to be able to pop a wheelie on 50cc with no problem.

my Girlfriends dad restores Vepas from the 40's 50's and 60's and sells them. the last one he sold went for 15,000$ and it wasnt all the way restored. the buyer said he wanted to finish it. my gf's dad said no at first untill he saw 15 grand in cash.


Needed white walled tires, some chroming, and paint, to be done.

$15,000? The most I have seen a fully restored Vespa go for is like 5-6 grand.
