1966 VESPA SS 180 (BM-244) … SOLDThis is the type of scooter that are very difficult to find these days. One that still proudly wears its original paint. Even more so, she is a top of the line a Vespa Super Sport. The paint has a few scratches here and there, but it is in superb condition overall. We think that with some careful work, this scooter's paint would shine like new.
The Super Sport was the first largeframe Vespa to be available in a choice of colors. On the trapezoid headlight models, the speedometer used was still the large clamshell style speedometer. The stalk, and the round metal taillight housing were painted the same color as the body. The front legshield badge said "Vespa S.S." and the rear one "Super Sport" in cursive font. There were other minor changes to the motor internally, but essentially, the Super Sport motor was little changed from the previous G.S.
The rally 180 and rally 200 have the crappy old-style fork that dives. I've rebuilt dozens of P200 and Rally 200 engines. A restored or original SS180 should be worth more than a similar condition Rally 200. The rally 200 beats the SS180 in a some ways:1) Horsepower - there's no real arguing with that. If i had to choose one to ride across the country, i'd probably choose the Rally 200 for things like autolube, more horsepower, different gearing, etc.

Anyhow, I don't know if these numbers were "official" or not. Any Vespa books (which also could be wrong, etc.) They often got registered a year later (like when they were sold) than their Vin numbers would show as their production year. But if I am going to register it, might as well do it right...VESPA 180 SS1964 VSC1T 100 31201965 VSC1T 3121 197201966 VSC1T 19721 256731967 VSC1T 25674 326321968 VSC1T 32633 36700
When Motorcycle Mechanics reviewed the SS180 in 1969 it was at the end of its production life, yet the reviewer still found plenty to praise. Vivid Vespa There are 180 cubic centimetres pushing the Vespa along, and somehow they add up to give it more than its fair share of go. This isn’t to say that the Vespa is an out-and-out road-burner. In all the SS180 is a pleasant, nippy machine to drive, and is at its best in traffic. This would make what is basically a very good machine one of the best scooters on the market.
