General InformationStyleMotorBottom LineThe Vespa Super was successor to the venerable Vespa 125 and 150 VNA/VBB It had a similar layout but had updated styling that matched the other contemporaneous largeframe Vespas While the largeframe Vespas with 10″ wheels had evolved over time in their styling and design the 8″ wheeled models had soldiered on through to the mid60&#39s with only very minor changes from the 50&#39s Their gentle curves began to seem out of step with the times and the rest of the Vespa lineup which had by then sported a more angular look Piaggio totally redesigned the look of the most basic of the largframes with the introduction of the Super The body on the Super was basically a shrunken version of that found on the Sprint All parts of the body became more angular and sharp edges on the Super replaced the gentle curves of the VBB As on the previous models the right side cowl covered the motor while the left side contained a glovebox and housed the battery if one was equipped The cowls had more of a sharp styling line around the top outside edge In addition a raised “swoosh” featured prominently on each cowl and the front mudguard In the motor side there were air vents cut in the cowl and there raised lines which accentuated the louvers extending past them On the glovebox side there were three raised lines in the cowl that provided a counterpoint to the engine side louvers The glovebox lock was integrated with the latch as on the Sprint The Super had flat aluminum strips on the cowls but not on the front mudguard On the European models the taillight was the same one used on the GL and Super Sport Howe The motor was based upon the 150cc and 125cc two port powerplant on the VBB/VNA There were virtually no changes with the exception of the addition of a different style of HT coil for the ignition Though both a 125cc and a 150cc version were made it appears as if the 125 Super was only imported in very small numbers to the US and probably only for one year when they were first introduced The major change with the Super was in the wheels and brakes The old fourlug wheels and small drums were gone The new wheels were of a similar split rim design as the 10″ wheeled Vespas but just smaller The brake drums were enlarged and the shoes were also increased in size The wheel rims attached to the drums via four bolts as opposed to the five stud design on the 10″ wheeled models The central wheel nuts on both the front and the back wheels had a plastic domed cover over them These often are lost and are not being reproduced On the front fork the separate dampener and spring The Super a competent scooter though it is hard to get excited about one They were the bottom of the line largeframe when they were sold and thus do not attract a lot of interest with collectors The combination of the two port motor with 8″ wheels does not lend them well to performance modifications And finally the styling while fine in my mind is not nearly as pretty as the curvaceous VBB/VBA models The Supers are not particularly fast but they are fine for cruising around Basically they are competent allaround and certainly consider one if if you find one in excellent condition However other Vespa models did just about everything better.
