LML Stella 4T

150cc of air cooled 9hp raw tiger's blood powah!
4 speed manual twist grip transmission.

It's been clocked by a radar sign at 60mph, so far is getting 120mpg average.

Mod, please move to the Buell section, and rename that Scooter Section.  At least they still make these things...

Nice!  On a recent trip to the UK, in Helmsley on a Sunday what was a typical bike rally point had nearly as many scooters there as motorcycles.  Seemed a counter culture of sorts.....

Ridden one a couple o times.  Great suspension - sucks up bumps/beat up pavement but stays controlled.  Excellent brakes -  taken off an older R6.  Really comfy and excellent passenger ergos.  Unless your passenger is, umm, large, the bike barely notices it.
Smoother engine than my MP3 500, a little less stable, not as fast as you'd hope.  Which is the problem with all these maxi scoots.  40-50hp pulling 500lbs does that.
Trade off is the effortless handling (super low c.o.g.), auto transmission (if yer into that), large standard luggage compartment.

Hellz yeah!  I insisted I get it with a full tank of gas!  Mid grade too!


All kidding aside, there really isn't much play on $ with these bikes as they are cheap to start off with.  If the shop doesn't make any $ on it, they're gonna be gone.

Oh, and Mr. Atadaskew you probably should refrain from showing any more pics of your attractive girlyfriend. This is a sport-touring forum and we don't need to be drifting off course with images of hotness. Let's try to keep this MC only please. Thanks.

Oh, no issues w/ that.  Every scoot over 150cc I've tried can pull away from traffic from a stop light.  If you treat the traffic light like a drag race, and whomever your lined up against doesn't... you win!

Wicker basket?  You're thinking of someone in a Ural sidecar or MGB..

Nah, depending on region it's Baby Cham (UK) or , forgive me for saying this, PBR (US).

I'm preeeeety sure Chianti is carried by Guzzi Cali riders..

 what are the years and engine sizes on those three Vespas?  Are the manual transmissions optional on the new ones?


The one on the left is a 2005 Vespa PX 150 Serie America (500 made - just a cosmetic thing though).  It is an air cooled single cylinder 150cc 2 stroke.  Manual 4 speed shift. Not CA legal per se, butt their are ways to get things registered eg brought into CA by someone who bought it while living out of state, then moved to CA.

Middle bike is a 2007 Vespa 250 GTS.   Single cylinder 4 stroke liquid cooled 250 cc fuel injection w/ auto transmission (CVT).

Bike on right is a 2010 LML Stella -  150cc single cylinder, air cooled 4 stroke.  Manual 4 speed transmission.

It is the only new CA legal manual transmission scoot available.  LML also makes a 2T version for markets outside CA.

Vespa does not offer any new manual transmission scoots in the US.  IN Europe they just re-released the PX150 for 2011, which is near to identical to my 2005 PX.  Except it will be smogged down..

Thanks for the details.  I am not that familiar with scooters, and thought the LML was a Vespa.   Headscratch Shrug

I will confess this thread made me look for my nearest Vespa dealer.

LML was licensed to make Vespas for Piaggio in India for the Asian market until (I think) the early 2000s.
Piaggio then opted out, but LML continued to build them but under their own brand name.

In the US they are sold by the Genuine Scooter company:
