NEWTON-LE-WILLOWS, England, December 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Bike Trader, the leading site for buying and selling motorbikes, is running a Facebook-based competition to give fans the chance to win a blue Vespa S50. The competition will run until the 20th January 2012 and only requires a 'Like' of the Bike Trader Facebook page to enter.

As the biggest trader of motorbikes in the UK, Bike Trader offers expert advice to every kind of biker.  It has the biggest listings of new and used bikes for sale and provides detailed bike reviews for all its customers. Fans of the site now have the chance to ride the streets on one of the most iconic scooters of all time - the Vespa S50. The Italian manufacturing giant, Piaggio, produced the first Vespa in 1946 and has since gone on to dominate the world of low-power two-wheelers. Vespa scooters can now be found in every city around the globe and Bike Trader could soon bring one to your driveway.

Dan Tye the editor of Bike Trader.co.uk, expressed his excitement at running the competition: "There are few scooters which have all the class and style of a Vespa," he says. "We're certainly seeing scooter sales on the increase and this is largely down to the fact that machines like the Vespa S50 are fashionable and hugely desirable. Whoever wins this will have a great looking two-wheeler to nip around town on."

Bike Trader is the leading biking authority in the UK and registers up to 1.5 million unique website visitors every month. Whether visitors are on the lookout for a classic Vespa, or a sports bike there are thousands of listings of bikes for sale.

A link to the competition can be found on the biketrader.co.uk or it can be found directly on Bike Trader's Facebook page.
