Is it possible to replace the engine in a vespa with a motorcycle engine? So it can reach triple digit speeds? Is it physically possible? How much would it cost? Are there alternative ways to modify a vespa to make it really fast? This is a project I hope to start in the next few years. I want to buy a vespa (new or old, but old is preferred) and modify it to have the acceleration and speed of a nice motorcycle. I was thinking that perhaps it'd be possible if I took out the vespa engine, and replaced it with a motorcycle engine. But I have doubts that it would be that simple. I was hoping someone with knowledge on vespas/motorcycles could enlighten me on the possibilities.

How much is a 2008 vespa s invoice price? Here in Los Angeles and was wondering how much does a vespa s cost. Trying to have some leverage since the sales person won't give me a price to work around with. He told me to go out and find a cheaper price and he'll beat it. I want to find another sales person who can beat that price significantly so he can beat that price from the other sales person. Any suggestions? By the way he is selling it at msrp which is about $4,099. Thanks
