so at 2600 miles the Hyper blew its headlight bulb !

No big deal except

what a fucking job it is to change the bloody thing. Basically you have to dismantle the whole front end that has some very difficult to get at bolts / screws

Took the best part of an hour in the garage. I would not like to think that i was having to do it at the side of the road in the dark and rain !

Italian charisma eh :beerjug:

It's not a real Vespa, they have a gear change on the left hand handlebar an it's easy to change the headlamp bulb :D
 
Why fuck about with shit like that? Decent manufacturers like KTM give you free recovery so if it spews a headlight bulb you just get it recovered and drink coffee while someone else does the work.
