Hello everyone. Came across this site & read all the cool stories so thought to add my own. I used to have a 1980 Vespa PX200E. I inherited it from my childhood best friend used to restore & sell them when we were in high school during our "mod" days. This was during the 80's of Vespa Rally's to Santa Barbara & Bear Bear in California. Unfortunately with the financial hard times, we were evicted and the owners auctioned off our belongings which the Vespa was one of them :( Hopefully one day I can get it back those m*****f*****s! Anyhow, I came across this bike last weekend from a seller that got it from a neighbor that put alot of time & money into fully restoring it. Though I don't know ANYTHING about fixing motorcycles, one of my good buddies does and he assured to me any fixing he'll do as a bro favor if ever needed. From what I'm told, it now only has 163 miles on the odometer. Anyhow, I paid $1700 & luckily I bought it cause there were literally 10 other guys looking at it as I was making the deal wanting to also buy it. I'm told it's worth much more but the dealer was looking for a turn around since he does this for a living. Either way, it brings back that lost feeling of my Vespa & will hopefully bring many more fond memories. Thanks to everyone for reading this (if you didn't get bored mid way...lol).

My Brother had one just like it. Beautiful.
Nice bike. This is a Honda CA95 Benly Touring not a Dream. Some people call them Baby Dreams. The CA77 305 cc model is the Dream. Also the last year of production was 1966. It was probably sold new in 69 and titled that way. Very nice bike.
