This is exactly like my 76' Ciao, This video helped me by showing me the original paint scheme colors for the trim, mine needs re painted. So thank you!
I purchased a base model 1973 Ciao that had the rectangular light in Nice, France in November 1973. Great little bike for riding the hills between Cannes and the Italian border... I’d love to have one just like it.
I own 3 of these :-) But mine are from the 80's. Two of them I have COMPLETELY restored to almost factory condition. The third one I use to get to work :-) ... But I agree, keep that one as an original. Don't change a thing on it. It's a piece of history and very rare in that condition.
I have one question. What is the right position of the ignition cable which opens up the decompression valve? From the back of the cilinder head and the stopper on the hook in front or through the hook first and the stopper between the head and the cilinder?
Just purchased a 1977 SC model. I know nothing about it but it runs sting and has %95 original parts. It needs tired but I have found are 2.25 or 2.25 width . The ones on it now are 2.00. Will the larger width fit? Also want to upgrade the the rest of the bike in the future. Any help is much appreciated thanks
forse sono i nomi esteri dei prodotti. come l'apecar si chiama vespacar come nome commerciale per l'export.... ci sta che il ciao magari avesse nomi diversi... boh la butto li

Hey i know this is a weird question but it seems like you know alot about ciaos, i have a ciao from the 1970 something and i really need some side cover so do you have any tips about which site i can find this. Its not the usual cover the brackets are diffrent. It is a plus if it is in eu because i live in Sweden.
@@ilsolda7492 vespa is not a vehicle it is the subbrand of the manufacturer piaggio such as Lincoln or murcury is to ford or any other big company that sells vehicles under a different name. In the United States it was imported as a vespa ciao but in the rest of the world it was a piaggio ciao they are the same thing I own 3 ciao's and on all of their titles it says vespa as the manufacturer. Also vespa is not 1 singular vehicle it is a brand with many different models
You really shouldn't start any moped standing on the stand like that... Also you need to pedal when taking off... You roasted your clutch when you took off.
It's a museum. Chances are its going to be left as is, even if sold. Tho if the person was going to ride it, I would recommend the aftermarket work. It's common in MA (where they are from) to make roadworthy upgrades. The roadways are far to poorly paved and the drivers are too reckless, to safely travel their streets on a stock moped. Unless specifically the deepest of Boston's down town area. Anywhere outside the downtown area, is going to want to have some upgrades. It's a shame to mess with such a nice bike but it is also a shame to destroy the front end on a giant pothole.
In many parts of the world it was released, marketed and advertised as: "Vespa Ciao". So depending on what country you're in, it's either known as a Piaggio Ciao or a Vespa Ciao. BOTH are correct. Example: ua-cam.com/video/nrc-P2Nuyck/v-deo.html
@@LorenzoSpolaor Depending on the location, it was marketed differently. In some parts of the world it was marketed as "Piaggio Ciao" (mainly in europe) - in other parts of the world it was marketed as "Vespa Ciao", like in the USA as an example. So yeah = is it as Vespa - is it a Ciao!? Technically it's both :-)

Está genial,tengo dos pero modernas,me sigue sorprendiendo vespa
Fit a city power exhaust, polini air filter, 58 main jet in a 12mm carb and green polini clutch springs. Great acceleration and just a bit quicker

Piaggio is the brand, Vespa is a scooter model from Piaggio as ciao is another motorcycle model from Piaggio...
anyway great video and amazing model :-)
In the USA piaggio ciaos were branded "vespa ciao"
@@MountainDaughter really?! is not just ana aftermarket sticker?
I've had Vespa Ciao's tshirt Vespa for a year but I thought this is a long year
What is the link to the company that has all the parts? Couldn’t catch it exactly in your video. Thanks! I enjoyed this.

Hello, plastic side covers seem to be new ones. Is it real ?
I restore such a moped right now and I don't manage to find these parts in Europe...
Can you get replacement cosmetic parts on the outside? A lot are tore up or missing on these models.
Meteore looking funny
Questo motorino si chiama Ciao.
La vespa e tutta un’altra cosa.
Piaggio e’ la casa costruttrice.
forse sono i nomi esteri dei prodotti. come l'apecar si chiama vespacar come nome commerciale per l'export.... ci sta che il ciao magari avesse nomi diversi... boh la butto li

Gle Cas hej, det löste sig gjorde bara ett nytt fäste och målade om ett par kåpor som jag hade sedan inan

Vespa is vespa ciao is ciao two vehicles different.
Vespa is not a vehicle it is a company and the ciao in the United states at least was sold as the vespa ciao.
@@nicholasanderson2461 no, vespa is a vehicle, and ciao is a vehicle, piaggio is the company.

WOT ForDays nope you never have to pedal when takimg away
That's no problem with a Ciao
Keep it original, it's not goingo to be legal if you make it go as fast as a motorcycle

Uhh I have mine highway legal
it is not a vespa! Piaggio is the name of the company!
In many parts of the world it was released, marketed and advertised as: "Vespa Ciao". So depending on what country you're in, it's either known as a Piaggio Ciao or a Vespa Ciao. BOTH are correct.
Example:
ua-cam.com/video/nrc-P2Nuyck/v-deo.html
In the usa it was branded Vespa ciao. Vespa is a subsidiary of Piaggio corp.
Piago??!?!?
It isn't a vespa!
Yes it is.
No it's not. Piaggio is an Italian manufacturer that used to produce different models, for example the Vespa and the Ciao (this one)

The vespa is a thing
The Ciao is another
But... i didn't know Piaggio selled the Ciao in the USA too
