Yes, this is actually a Vespa. One thing that I like about scooters is the fact that people just go crazy customizing them. It can be as mild as a sticker, or some pinstripes, or you can go the whole way. This photo was taken in Bangkok, where you see a lot of scooters, but not a lot of Vespas. When I was there, I saw some Vespa Sprints, but they seemed to be mainly used as freight haulers by shops. Most of the nice vintage Vespas I saw in Thailand were up north in Chiang Mai (a very wonderful city, by the way). So anyhow, I'm not sure exactly what theme the owner was going for with this one, but it sure does catch your eye!
