Motorcycles



This is the Indian version of the much-loved Italian Vespa (vasp). I thought India no longer makes any scooters, but I'm told there is a Sri Lankan agent for this scooter, and someone riding a newly-registered one has been sighted. This old model looks a very sprightly-little machine, and was very popular in Sri Lanka until the Indian motorcycle invasion started in earnest in the late 1990s. . I don’t see any of the early models running around now, but I do hope some enthusiast somewhere is preserving one.
