Is there much difference between the Lml's and Vespas?I know a lot of the blokes that own the lml's claim they're the same thing but surely they're cheaper for a reason and if they're just as good why do they all change the badges and try to pretend they're Vespas?

Lml build quality is fecking shocking but then what do you expect they come from india

Yep everyone changes the badges to vespa mine was changed before I bought it but easy to tell difference as the panels differ slightly
