Nice restauration but a big big minus for P200 engine. The "every day use" is more than "possible" with the original one. There's plenty of us to proove it.

very nice

check my ss 180 resto ...http://ss180vespa.blogspot.com/

Please post a picture of your ride here in the board !

we would really apreciate it ....

cheers

Nice one.

What a great bike, congratulations!!

Maximum respekt dude !!!!

If its an everyday SS180  you want....

My newly restored 67' SS 180 and "everyday use" 67' Sprint 150, with original engine for "everyday use":

Hi dude

damn it´s not the original paint, but really really nice.

congratulations

cheers

I love your comment, mostly since it was expected

I can live with my non-original paint, I was thinking "The original was blue but I'll make it my own blue". I would never have it painted green or brown for instance... I could not live with a non-original engine but that's just me. Not that I don't like Ralf's work, please don't get me wrong The most important thing is that he is satisfied, I was just making a remark on Ralf's point "making every day use possible", since I think it's bullshit... I'm driving to Fatima in June (3000 km) to prove this.

Both of our jobs are worth of applaud, but they are not to be called restaurations, are they? Maybe I can defend myself in terms of going back to the years they are produced. Mine is possible (well, sort of), Ralf's is not really...

Furthermore, the real beauty of Super Sport is in its engine, not in its looks...

Anyway, I apologize to Ralf If he got mad because of my comments.

Hi ,

Beautiful SS !, what are the dimensions  of the Zippy tire please ? and do you have a modern serial for the "Blu pavone" paint ? (except maxmeyer i already have )

Thanx

Fred

Zippy is standard Vespa 3.50 x 10

Any PPG store can give you an exact same paint according to MM code. That was my first option but I didn't like it (the blue pavone color). Considering that I don't like the other two SS colors (white and red), I went to my original mixture (actually it's Harley Davidson mixture with a little more blue)
