As you say....Branded, (which is politically correct talk for, high priced), doesn't mean bullet proof. Noticed this description on our areas craigslist this AM.
"2005 Vespa GT200 with 12k mi. Does not run currently. The splines for the crankshaft are stripped and the crankshaft needs to be replaced. The rest of the scooter was in great working order, comes with new variator components and a new belt and clean title."
Nice looking scooter, probably $6000 or more new, needs a crankshaft due to sloppy maintenance, probably performed in an over priced service center, by a "trained" technician.
What a shame.
