My Wife also has a Vino and loves it. She bought it used 1yr with about 1k km on it. Now she wants a faster one, which is a common story and the same for the guy she bought it from.

Once you're confidant on it, you may want to go faster than 50km/h and upgrade to a 150cc model. Perhaps you should start with a 150cc if you can see yourself in that position.

Scooters are pretty simple mechanically speaking so any of the major manufacturers's should be fine. As I understand it, Vespas cost more mostly for brand.

Picking a model that your local shop can service is good advice.

Charlatan owns a vintage Vespa so he'd be a good brain to pick if you want to go that route.
