I wonder if any of you guys would even be interested in a trade like this, but I figured I could always check it out.

I've got an 06 Vespa GT200 scooter I'm looking to sell, and I'd like to replace it with a moped, preferably a puch. I'm pretty fond of Myke's magnum and was pretty pissed when he grabbed it out from under my nose @ vespastl... but that's water under the bridge. So anything similar to that. Basically I just want something I can start with, not too many problems, but enough problems to provide me with some wrench time.

I'm also down to just buy a moped and sell my scooter to some other person.

what you didn't snake the green puch on the south side?

There are three magnums in St. Louis that we know of. One is Myke's, another is mine, another is for sale for $800. But I can almost guarantee that the seller won't trade for a newish Vespa.

There's the $75 brown magnum out there somewhere too... Every person for themself on that one...

Mike Pee · « **Reply #4 on:** January 28, 2009, 10:46:59 PM »

Yeah. Somewhere.... haha

Loren, keep the GT, seriously. Mopeds can be had for pocket change compared to what that GT is worth. Scour craigslist for 'peds, watch the board here, and I'll keep an eye out for you too. I think you just want a toptank, not nessecarily a Magnum. Are you ok w/ step-throughs like a Maxi or a sweet looking Pinto/Swinger? Come by a fix-it day, see everyone's 'peds, maybe ride a few if they'll let you. (I know I owe you a ride for sure) See what you like, and then ask who's got stuff for sale.
Also, as you're a carless man, the GT is a much better replacement than just a moped. Yes, you can go carless on a moped, but you're gonna be going verrry sloooow, and you won't have nifty topcases and modern reliability. (speaking generally, of course)
Moped+GT. It's the way to be.

You could also sell the Vespa and buy upwards of 10 mopeds. Make 5 fast, keep 5 stock. You'll have at least one runner in there when you need it.

how much money are you looking for? i have a magnum minus the seat and engine but have a good e 50 witha biturbo. And most of (puch) sears free spirit i'd trade it needs seat cable chain stuff like that i probably have most of it though.

I'm looking for 3200 for the scoot, or less with a moped depending on how much the 'ped is worth.

Mike Pee · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2009, 03:01:00 PM »

That's the price of like...16 decent mopeds. Or like 5 magnums. Or 32 shitty peds.

Phil N. · « **Reply #15 on:** January 31, 2009, 05:38:48 PM »

....or like 6400 tacos from Jack in the Box!

vespa's dont come cheap!

Maybe the title of this thread isnt clear enough: Gt200 for moped+$$$

gym socks · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2009, 11:20:19 PM »

No offence, but perhaps you should just buy a moped and not try to sell an expensive item to thrifty moped folk...

Garett · « **Reply #18 on:** February 01, 2009, 09:34:08 AM »

Thrifty.... no CHEAP!!!!!! I love it.

ire mark · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2009, 10:16:17 AM »

what was that thing Dave's bought at the police auction,,, it was one of these things, he brought to moped fix-it... it was white, had a gerber decal on the side and a tp dispenser screwed to it? what'd he gave 8 amf's for it?,,,, that's 200, 300...

Mike Pee · « **Reply #20 on:** February 04, 2009, 10:03:32 AM »

Okay, here's the plan.

1 - Sell the Vespa for $3200
2 - Buy the Magnum XK for $800
3 - Spend $1000 on the engine

There, now you've got a 50+mph magnum that is reliable. And you're still up $1400.

Garett · « **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2009, 12:48:32 PM »

What Magnum XK?

Mike Pee · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2009, 01:08:20 PM »

Cole's brother's girlfriend's XK.

Lunch Box · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2009, 12:28:25 PM »

K, so the Vespa is gone... Just looking for a 'ped now. I'm wanting to buy mid-march. Again, I'd love a top-tank, but I'm down for whatever. Honestly, I want to start ridin' so as long as it won't be a whole summer to get it running, hit me up.

Just to re-iterate: I would LOVE a magnum, benelli, etc

I would also love to do a project like this: http://motorbicycling.com/f15/cafe-racer-build-commences-2412.html

if anyone is interested in helping me out, let me know!

I have a Foxi for sale, its not a top tank but it sure looks cool. I have a new seat for it too.
