How to Register My Vespa With Piaggio

Italian manufacturer Piaggio first rolled out the Vespa in 1946. Piaggio also manufactures the popular Piaggio and Aprilia scooters. Unlike motorcycles, scooters don't have shifting and are much easier to maneuver. However, before you decide to invest in one you may want to take a beginner safety class. You will also need a motorcylce license, based on your engine capacity.
