General InformationThe Vespa Super was successor to the venerable Vespa 125 and 150 VNA/VBB. On the right side of the legshield, there were two that said "Vespa" and "Super" in cursive script. This headset sported a new smaller speedometer that was also used on the Vespa 125 Smallframe, and became the standard Vespa speedometer on all models until the introduction of the P-series. All Vespa Supers imported to the U.S. after 1973 had turn signals fitted as standard equipment in order to satisfy American regulations. However other Vespa models did just about everything better.
I take it you have seen just a 'couple' of SE Asian bikes......when i tell people the horror stories, some believe. frankenstein patch work frames with bad welds under the bondo'd body work, bent forks, broken and rewelded forks, stupid little bodges on all the hardware and attachements. the bearings in the fork where the axle rides are crap, tons of play and they feel like they're filled with sand. and to top it all off, the fork bearing retainer is totally home-made washer with one side knocked flat. the bearings in the fork where the axle rides are crap, tons of play and they feel like they're filled with sand.

Looks to be a lower mileage, Super in decent shape. If it is stuck at 30 but the odometer still clicks over, then the mileage may be somewhat accurate. Check under the bike and look for any rust areas on the bottom of the floorboard area. Ask what work has been done to it, if so, where/who did the work (professional shop or shade-tree mechanic). Basic starting point of what to look for and look at.
Vintage Vespa VBC aftermarket front fender. Comes in black primer (may have a few small scratches and dents from shipping). These fit VBC 150 Super and VNC 125 Super Vespas, but may require some fitting. These are made in Italy, NOT Asia and are the nicest ones available.
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. 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. 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. Photos showing work completed under current ownership can be viewed in the gallery.
