I recently changed from a 4 wheel ride to a 2 wheeled one, by obtaining a Vespa PX200, and thus encountered Motorini in Phillip, and the proprietor, Nico.
To be absolutely fair, I am not aware of any other venues in Canberra where you can get a vespa motorbike serviced, nor have I bothered to look.
I have found Nico to be extremely friendly, and the after sales support has been absolutely exceptional. This is one of the rare people that care more about the product than making sales, infact I am strongly of the opinion that he runs the shop as a non-profit entity, just to be around vespas.
Nico stocks a great deal more than vespas, having a range of Italian models such as aprilia and piaggio (even though vespas are a piaggio model, they rate their own branding) – if you are seriously passionate about obtaining a temporary Australian certificate, I’ve seen there’s also Ducati’s at the next door shop. You’ll also get the full range of motorbike gear from there, and if you need a tune up, or a rare part, he’ll go out of his way to obtain it for you.
Nico will also help you with getting through your P plate exam – which I have also done, and found extremely informative.
Since outside my Department building the amount of vespas parking outside in the free motorbike park has doubled in the past month, I’m sure everybody else will have noted the amount of motorbikes hitting the road has increased proportionally with the price of fuel as well.
Do it in style, vespa’s are a classic bike, as well as cheaper than chips to run.
Motorini are in Phillip, at 2/6 Bellona Court (off Townshend street) If you are interested in getting into the motorbike scene, I’d recommend Nico to anybody.
