Hello scooter peeps, I have had my Vega for getting on 20 years now (it was once if I recall 'my little girl' in red candy) it is curently ford Paris Blue (hence the name) this is how I brought it......I have been all over on it back in the day and recently to Wollacombe (oooh it;s painfull
currently has a 130 Kawasaki (KH400) piston (no porting) with a starstream box and will do 60+a bit and cruise at 50-55mph. I have a 24 Dellorto + converted T5 mickek but needs jetting/setting up..... am considering selling as she gets very little use
What are your thoughts out there... :wtf:

Could you mean 'Little Darlin', in which case it was one of a pair of candy red and chrome tuned Vegas that I remember from IoW '84. Lush.

Alright Jer - just done a look up - it seems 'my little girl' was the twin to 'my little darlin' mentioned here. Seeing those Vegas bombing down the hill from the gate at IoW '84 is for some strange reason etched in my mind and why I have an unrequited love of scoots that unfortunately ride like anal chainsaws.
The pair are mentioned here:
