The End of the PX?

Every few months, there’s an “End of the Vespa PX” story, even though I’ve read that Piaggio officially ceased production in December, 2006. They’ve offered a few “limited editions” since then, and the standard PX has been available from European shops, so who knows? In any case, this story isn’t winning any awards for implying that manual-transmission scooters are illegal in Europe, or for ignoring the fact that Eddy Bullet and other importers sell a fair number of PX-clone LML Stars in Europe, though perhaps that will come to an end, too. Which may be why LML is perpetually rumored to be working on a 4-stroke automatic helium-powered 8000cc PX-style scooter.

  1. I’ve heard all kinds of stories myself about this. How it’s the end of an era, and how scootering will never be the same. We’ve always got Vietnam’s scooter contribution to keep things alive. :D

    And in regards to that 8000cc helium scooter, I read that Germany was going to be making one using old blimp parts and sell it. It’s going to be a 5 stroke automanual and run on beer and helium. ;D

    And instead of exhaust, it will make delicious sausage.
