Is this a troll post ? 70MPH on a Vespa ?

When people would ask what the V was for on my Victory Vision, I would them them, "VESPA".
My only suggestion when deciding on a F6B is to get the dealer to move it out of the showroom and into the parking lot then sit it it and maneuver back and forth using just your legs.
Then get off and push it around using your arms and legs going forward then backwards.
I love mine but it is a heavy pig to maneuver. The new 2018 does not have reverse unless you buy the full Wing Tourer.
You just have to remember not to park with your front wheel pointing downhill.
I got a great deal on a 2016 and have no regrets. The engine alone is worth the price admission.

I think your absolute biggest concern will be the weight of the bike at slow speeds/while pushing it. Going from a 350 pounder to an 800 pounder is a big change. There are after market seat solutions and peg relocation solutions to give you more stretch, but some are expensive, so factor that into your purchase price.
If you push the bike around the parking lot and have no troubles, and if you don't mind the money for the ergonomic adjustments, then it's an absolutely beautiful machine.

I might look like a troll but that figure is genuine. My best top speed per the GPS is 75 - 79mph on the level, both ways. These things can MOVE! Plus I can out-dabble a Harley from the light. Remember it is a 300cc lightweight vehicle.
I even kept up with a Yamaha doing 70 all the way to Asheville, NC. There was a 15 mph headwind the whole way. Cut the fuel consumption down from 63 to close to 50!
Honk if you like peace and quiet.
