  Actually i like to own a vintage vespa but it's a bit too expensive to buy, repair and modify it. I ask one shop at ubi, they said a simple modify + repair cost $1000 - $2000. Somemore the price exclude the vespa. With this money, i rather i throw it on my NSR150SP.
  But is the above price for a vintage vespa too expensive? Anyone know any shop that sell vespa and modify it to vintage style at a lower price?

  This is a 1 shot kinda thing ma.After doing up ur Vespa, the maintenance will b negligible. U can service ur bike once a yr n it'll cost u only 20 bucks.
