I've owned two Aprillias and two Vespas, in America mind you. I currently have a new Vespa LX 150 and like it a lot. You pay a premium for a Vespa, but the build quality is good. There aren't many scooters out there that have metal bodies anymore.
The only issue with the new Vespas is that if you don't ride them very often, you need manually charge the battery top keep it in top form. The alternators are small and need time to pump juice in there when the bikes in motion. The kickstart, against the logic of what a kickstart is for, doesn't work very well when the battery is almost dead.
Don't be concerned with the gay connotations. Plenty of people in the world ride scooters and have sex with women. Sometimes on the scooter.
- The old school Italjets are nice not sure of the reliability though..philipdrumman
