I don't think It is remotely doable on a vespa.
-dont' really know the fuel mileage on a vespa - but on a 600 XL It took me 1 tank (20 L ) + 1 Jerrycan (20 L ) and I have to buy in a village before making it to Bol. It is lots of 1st gear full-throttle-fry-ur-clutch .And I am talking about a big trail bike , with knobby tires.
So .. no. Its not doable on vespa.
however .. theres some geezer on Nguimi that arranges rides for bikers ,from Nguimi to Bol . (in Bol It is compacted earth/tarmac to Njamena) . It charges around 150 Eur.. I didnt took it . But lots of bikers do.
It is most unwise do it on a motorcycle (whichever type ) on your own . I would never repeat it again . Until Nnguimi ...It is just populated sahara. From nguimi .. you are on the emptyness of ruthless desert. . If you have a crash (and with the sand that happens every hour ) no-one will ever find you. If you have a fall and break yourself something .. .no-one will ever find you . And also there's the issue that the people around there are not friendly at all .
