No doubt about it, the Vespa wins hands down when it comes to build quality and resale value. The build quality comes at a significant cost in weight, though.

No doubt about it, the Vespa wins hands down when it comes to build quality and resale value. The build quality comes at a significant cost in weight, though. Ride quality - both have their strengths. In the end I'd still choose the Niu for its agility, directness and, most importantly, silence. ABS would be a real boon, but her LX50 doesn't have that either. Definitely something I'd like to see on my next one.
