Lambretta's are out of the question then as they are all more expensive than Vespa's.
Vespa's with indicators:
If you want Indicators, your only options are PX, T5, (PK & 100 Sport (small-frame vespa's))
Vespa's without indicators:
Primavera (small-frame)
Primavera ET3 (small-frame. Electronic Ignition)
Most older 60's and 70's models with a 125 barrel conversion. Sprint, GL etc.
Other models:
LML (Indian)
Bajaj (Indian and ugly)
If I were you I'd go for a 2nd-hand LML Star 125. They look the same as a PX but have different badges. A 2nd-hand one of those would be cheaper than a 2nd-hand PX125. You can still buy new LML 125's which are around the £1600 mark. Whereas the PX125, if you can find a new one, would be around £2200-£2300. A lot of people I know have bought an LML and changed the badges for Vespa PX ones and they seem to be reliable scooters.

Hi , I couldnt recomend the LML more , mines a wee sweetheart. Got mine from kings cross scooters bartered with them got it for 1695 including delivery to door and registered it for me, nice blokes. As for the cheetak , it looks a lot like a rally 200, I disagree about how ugly they are, but each to their own. Have you priced italijet , the ones Oasis used to ride. They were a nice wee modern scoot, and you might get one cheep.
Good luck
Wolfy

You wont really need a kit on a T5 unless your planning on being 2 up and ladden with luggage. They fly.
