Where the eyes go, the body follows
Return of the minimalist legend
I love it when a manufacturer goes back to the old blue prints and bring to life an old great bike, the Vespa PX was born back in 1977, it was the best selling bike at Vespa and now after 34 years the PX is back with the same retro styling, a 2 stroke engine with automatic mixer that meets the strictest Euro 3 standards, a side spare wheel, a kick starter, glove compartment a four-speed gearbox that utilizes the left handle bar grip to shift between gears which should make it much more fun to ride than the automatic ones.
I should start finding a space for this one.

BikeWorld the local dealer of Vespa, Gilera and Piagio scooters is organizing a scooter ride Friday morning, i’am not sure if they will be bringing demo scooters for people to ride or they are only organizing the ride for scooter owners, either way its nice gesture but a bit late as the weather is getting hot.
See you all on Friday 🙂 .

Aprilia RSV4R
A couple of weeks ago i visited Bike World to check the new Guzzi models and was told that they are getting the new Aprilia RSV4R soon, yesterday i was in Shuwaikh so i decided to drop in and check if the bike has arrived, and i wasn’t disappointed..the bike was there..and apparently it just arrived today… they had both the black and white versions.
The bike has the same engine of the Factory version but without the Öhlins suspension, the forged rims, and the couple of carbon pieces, the price difference is huge and makes the RSV4R very affordable, the bike is the size of 600cc but with the 1000cc engine, it has the most aggressive looks among the one liter bikes.

I was in Shuwaikh yesterday and noticed a new motorcycle showroom…i looked up to the sign and saw the following brands: Aprilia, PIAGGIO, Vespa, GILERA, and MOTO GUZZI !!!
Parked quickly.. went down to check it out and there it was…a part of Italy’s’ motorcycle history, a showroom full of Vespa scooters, Moto Guzzi, and Aprilia ..
The Vespas’ were irresistible…i don’t know how i resisted going back on one, Vespa is an icon and it doesn’t matter if you are a male or a female, young or old, a house wife or a businessman the Vespa will have your heart skip a beat…this scooter is one of the few bikes that have a style of its own and has maintained its classic and classy looks look over the years.. no visit to Italy is complete without renting a Vespa and riding it on the twisty roads of Sorrento.
