Thinking of a Vespa

LX 150... I've been thinking of one every since I started my new job, and especially since selling the Range Rover. It'd be perfect for getting around town and parking would never be an issue. The Lotus would truly become the fun/weekend toy. And I can park both vehicles in one parking spot if I need to.

Vespa just released a limited edition Pink LX 150. I've already picked a matching helmet out. I'm also interested in the bike to hold onto as a collectible. Only problem is I don't know how to ride and safety is a concern for me. I took the CHP class for motorcycle licensing a few years ago and freaked out the 2nd day of riding. I'm hoping that since Vespas are automatic I'll have a better experience.

I'm barely 5'2 and just under 110lbs. Curious if anyone, especially women with similar proportions to me, have experiences they can share. I'm going to start lessons today.

And before you all give me grief that it's pink, I actually can't stand pink, but it's so obnoxious on this bike that I love it. So there.
