Is that a vespa? I like the wrapping on it

Thanks! It's neither a Vespa nor wrapped ๐Ÿ˜

2007 Honda Metropolitan (1st gen) in Honda's "Purple Kanji". Lowered, stretched, bigger rear tire through the former rear light cutout, and a few go-"fast" goodies. Only 49cc, but can do 50+ MPH on a good day.....given enough green lights.

My favorite go-fast part:

I wrapped it mostly because I just dig the look.

No need to apologize :)

We are all having fun here. You should make it another separate post with more pics and specs. We are a small community and need all the content we can get.

My neighbor has a legit Vespa! 2-stroke, manual transmission, and it's even got the spare tire. Very clean and spunky little thing. I've been meaning to ask them about it...
