"Lambretta, just think there a bit more stylish and desireable 
Lambretta's do have a lot more style.
Vespa's are a little more reliable.  "
true ... at least the vespa makes it to the next layby before the piston melts a hole in itself |

"Lambretta all day long but I own a Vespa as they're more reliable and cheaper to buy
the word reliable doesn't sit well with the subject matter
Lammy's yes but Vespa's are ok "
if you mean you might get another 100 miles out of a vespa between top end rebuilds then yes |

"Lambretta if for your daughter, Vespa for your son, if for you, I suggest something slightly less mid life crisis  "
excuse me but I've had scooters all my adult life I don't think it's a mid life cricis  |

Having Italian blood, it could only be the Vespa. I'll never forget going back to Sicily during the summers and every evening, seeing literally hundreds of people congregating every evening in the piazza or the lungomare on their Vespa. Proper summer holiday vibes |

"Speaking as butch macho type of guy I can honestly say I've never actually been a scooter....... Am I correct to believe you ride them side-saddle.... "
Back in the 60s some ladies rode them side saddle but no not as a rule both feet either side on the foot plates. Tbh there are some very big muscle bound men that ride scooters and you will even find a lot of squaddies do as well |

Lambretta or Vespa...?
I don't think that there's much to chose between them -
As I remember from my Rocker days in the 60's, they both made an equally good bonfire - or both sank equally quickly in the canal....

"Isle of Wight August bank holidays , thousands of scooters , the noise and smell of two stroke , it's a sight to behold "
We were there last year on our Vespa GTS300 and it was an awesome thing to be part of.
Got a Street Triple as well so haven't totally lost the plot. |

"I'm surprised to find not many females answering this thread....
 "
That's because they are A65 unit construction fans, (still keep some oil externally to mark their terratory though) |

Vespa! Had a Rally 200 back in the day, whip Ariel's, racks, lights, mirrors, the full works. Parka, Staypress, sat forward, knees into the panels, ATTITUDE!! Brilliant!
That said, just pondering one of the new Royal Enfields at the mo.. |

"Vespa all day every day, lammys always on a layby with side panel off! Lol
Miss the smell of 2 stroke."
You should of been on the Isle of Wight for the bank holiday Pocket! We were inundated with them and that was all you could smell was the two stroke!
Vespa SS 180 bored out to 200 is the one for me !! |
