Speed Read, August 22 2021



We?ve found something for everyone this week in our travels around the web. We?ve got an XT600 from the Netherlands, a Honda 599 from Bulgaria, and a revitalized Vespa from Chicago. Plus a stunning BMW finished in Porsche?s classic Olive paint, from Roughchild of Los Angeles. Enjoy.
