There is never going to be a correct answer on this one.My favorite is the GP but i still like some Vespas but as far as style goes,think Vespa has something going here.Both were asked to build a machine to get kids laid after school so Piaggio made sure of that...........
Innocenti wanted to punish the little fuckers for something they did in a former life......
Even way before that,Piaggio wanted to build something to race at weekends while looking cool........
Chief designer at Innocenti was on the p155 when he got the phone call and drew a quick picture on the back of a packet of Rothmans and came up with this............
