a Vespa .... at 84 mph?!?
A VESPA!?!!!????

You mean one of those 1960’s ish VESPAs????
One of those micro car VESPAs?

I didn’t think those things could go past 50 mph, much less 80.

A modern Vespa could do 80 mph, no problem, but I would want to be sober while I did it. I always had a 12-hour bottle-to-throttle rule back when I was riding motorcycles and motor scooters. ‘Course in those days, what with all the drinking, there were precious few windows of time where I could go riding...

I had a friend who used to race vintage Lambrettas. You would be surprised how fast they can go.
