My gay, Italian teacher mate reckons they're called vespa not because of the sound but because they look like a wasp from a birds eye view. I always thought is was because of the sound of the two stroke.
This is an lc four stroke. Very civilised with abs and fuel injuection! I think the abs is shit though I locked the rear wheel earlier pissing about. Unless the abs is just for the front wheel.

Your mate is correct. The abs is possible it's front wheel only too.

Aye a mates "23 plate CBF 125 has ABS on the front only, with a rear drum.

This has discs front and back. Just rode it 15 miles to Bedlington to give my mate a shot before the mot at 12.30.

At the mot place now. There was a bloke came with a tyre and wheel to change after me and just as he started my test. I can here the fucker changing the tyre rather than do my bike. I wonder if he'll bother with the mot at all and just pass it anyway. He did briefly start the vespa for a second or two.
He's been on with the tyre 10 minutes now. I can hear him putting air in and the bead has just popped.

He's passed it without actually doing anything. I've gave him £30 for printing a piece of paper.

That's what class I/II MOTs are like...quick look for anything hanging off/missing/leaking, flick the lights, grab the brakes, give the handlebars a wiggle. Done.

Yes front only and in your pics you can see the abs sensor on the front wheel but can't see one on the back.

You need to get the underneath covered in waxoyl or bilt hamber if your gonna keep it.I had a 250 GTS that on top was mint but underneath was rusty as fuck
