AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

PIAGGIO VESPA 125 V14T “BACCHETTA” from 1950.

Rare and prestigious Vespa 125 V14T “Bacchetta,” one of the most iconic models of Vespa’s early production. Built by Piaggio during the Italian rebuilding years, it stands as an authentic testimony to the birth of the scooter that would revolutionize European mobility.

The name “Bacchetta” derives from the distinctive external gear lever, a hallmark of the first Vespas. Equipped with a 125 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, it combines mechanical simplicity, reliability, and an unmistakable style that still fascinates collectors and enthusiasts around the world.

Its elegant lines, the steel load-bearing frame, and the typical details of the early series make it a vehicle of great historical and collecting interest. An example that represents not only a means of transport but an authentic symbol of Italian design and engineering in the post-war era.

Today the Vespa 125 V14T “Bacchetta” is among the most sought-after Vespa models on the collectibles market.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): * V14T * 87044 *
Engine Number: * V20M * 82755 *
The vehicle was restored 7 years ago.
The motorcycle is sold in running condition.
The motorcycle is without a license plate and registration document.
The motorcycle is sold with Piaggio origin certificate (see attached image).
The pairing of the VIN with the engine number is correct.

FOR ITALIAN CLIENTS: with only the origin certificate, the motorcycle cannot be registered. It will be necessary to consider it as unknown provenance through the presentation of a CRS (certificate of historical and collecting relevance, not provided with the motorcycle). Therefore, should registration be requested with a CRS and considered unknown provenance, the vehicle will need to undergo inspection with its homologated components.

Possible home delivery in Italy and abroad.

The motorcycle is located in Reggio Emilia – Italy.

The costs related to customs procedures, should the vehicle go outside the European Community (EXTRA CE), are also the responsibility of the buyer.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
