I've owned a lot of two wheeled vehicles. Everything from mini bikes to Harleys to bicycles to electric bicycles. How a vehicle looks or what other people think has never really stopped me from going for a ride. I even own the folding bicycle shown in the thumbnail for my account on this forum. But is there one two wheeled vehicle that gives me pause when I see it? One vehicle that stops me in my tracks and makes me want to turn around and go in the other direction. The vehicle is a Vespa Christian Diore model. Don't get me wrong, I like Vespa scooters and think they make a great product, but stepping into fashion design is not a place I want to go, but I get it. A lot of women ride Vespa scooters and I guess the whole fashion angle appeals to them.

More information about this scooter:
The MSRP for the Vespa 946 that this scooter is built on is around $7000. The MSRP for the Christian Dior special edition 946 scooter is $22,000. Only 60 scooters were made for USA. The Christian Dior 946 is powered by a 125cc engine. The accessory top case, hand bag and helmet are only available at Christian Dior boutiques. The hand bag is around $3500, but I did see some priced at $5000. The helmet MSRP is $2450. I don't know what the MSRP is for the top case or box, but I do know Christian Dior is out of stock. I don't think Vespa had any trouble selling all 60 units at $22,000 per scooter, and it appears Christian Dior had no trouble selling the accessories. Wow!
