However anything highway rated also means you need to have a valid drivers license and possibly a motorcycle license to drive it. Some states ban certain types of 2-wheel vehicles from highways... Check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles web site, most of them have the codes and requirements for scooters/motorized bicycles.

That means taking a written test and a driving skills test on your scooter. Check with your local DMV to find out what the local laws are. In CA the scooters have to be more than 189cc to go on the

If your Vespa can maintain those kinds of speeds safely you should be good to go.. But from an experienced motorcycle riders point of view, if you ride anything that small you need to be 500% more alert of your surroundings then the average driver. So many people are oblivious to you being on the roads with them..
