Buying a scooter

Submitted by JanJ on

I know from reading the many previous posts that buying a car in Italy as a non resident seems nigh on impossible. We have a little holiday home high in the hills of Northern Tuscany and were wondering if it is possible to buy a Vesper or similar, for running about back and fore to town etc? The narrow streets would be easily accessible on two wheels! What's the situation re buying, taxing, insurance etc etc? Is it the same hassle as car buying or can we just buy one???
