Depends on a number of other factors.
True the Vespa Sprint has a higher purchase price, but you get more for your money and the running costs are lower.
Don't believe you get more, certainly not for your money. I do believe it is as good. I don't believe the running costs are lower.... uses the same MPG, and everything with the name Vespa on it, you pay dubble price...
You do get a nostalgic look... if I had 5000 euro to spend, I probably would have bought a Vespa.
Btw... in Belgium... riding a 125 cc scooter is never "cool" unless it's a Vespa...

Sprint service interval is 6000 miles.
PCX iis 2500 miles.
Which is cheaper, more services or less services?
ABS
Which one has it?
The Sprint is capable of doing 150mpg, the PCX isn't.

Got me there! ... then again 2000 euro extra purchase prize buy's a lot of gas ...

Stil think it's the pcx, but I do think the Vespa is nicer, maybe even better ... cooler by far ...
Yet I do'nt think it's the better commuter, ....
Then again, what do I know, my PCX (bought last week) is my first motorised two-wheeler ever ...

Well! Ya'll answered my questions. Thanks. I think the Sprint looks "dapper!" I'd have one.
The White looks sexy, the blue looks sporty, the black's a trouble maker and the yellow is timid. The red wants to be hot, but sadly not (thru mine eyes). Zee red is a competitor.
See what I mean

God no.
A sprint should never have topbox or screen fitted.

A windshield similar to that came with the Fly 150 I owned last year. Needless to say that it was only installed when I bought the scoot and when I sold it.

Me personally, I'm not a fan of the Vespas or Vespa knock offs. Then the price is another factor. I like the looks of the PCX and Forza. They look sportier and not stuck in the past.

Retro is the word they use for old fashioned crap isn't it.
