You don’t need much to bother the big bikes, as you know!
I had to keep slowing down on the 125 earlier; I took my standard 70-odd mile test route and found myself behind a group ride on adv/touring/big bikes. Even on the GN I was sitting tidy on every B-road going. Got bored after a few towns and villages and didn’t follow as they turned off. Was surprised how poorly the majority were taking corners too.

My garage has no power :(
Maybe an e-bike/scoot with a removable battery but that might mean looking at the likes of a KTM or something and I imagine price is quickly going to become an issue.
My thinking on the Vespa was, something that’s pretty basic and easy to work on. That maybe has potential for a wee carb rejet etc to squeeze some more speed out of it...I have a picture in my head of ripping around B roads on it bothering big bikes lol.
