Vespa is another one of the Italian inventions that have conquered the world. It is an iconic, classic and best-selling scooter in the world. When she was introduced in 1946, she was nicknamed "paperino", which means duck, which flew at her size. The design of the Vespa is definitely timeless, but an American motorcycle manufacturer was asked what the Vespa would look like if it were turned into a real motorcycle.
This company is, of course Harley-Davidson, which prepared something computer concepts, what Vespa could be if it personified one of the motorcycles. In the gallery, we present some of the most interesting examples that even "vespis", the biggest Vespa enthusiasts, would be happy to try.

The so-called Café Racer you will recognize it by the low handlebars, long seat and extended fuel tank. The minimalist image is reminiscent of racing motorcycles from the 1960s. Such a light Vespa would be perfect for short trips over shorter distances.
Vespa Chopper
When we think of chopper, we probably think of a classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle. With its high handlebars and unmistakable sound melody, such a Vespa would be the pride of any owner who would modify it according to his taste. You would simply lean back on it and enjoy the ride.
Vespa Dirt Bike
If you are more interested in off-road motorcycle riding, the Vespa Dirt Bike will be right for you. It can handle any surface you dare to test it on.
