In 1946 Enrico Piaggio recognized the need for a small, fuel efficient, reliable vehicle with comfort and flair. The Vespa (means wasp) was a revolutionary new two-wheeled vehicle designed from aeronautical technology. The steel monocoque body gave rigidity and protected the rider from dirt and debris. By the end of 1949, 35,000 units were produced, and over one million by the mid-fifties! In the sixties (some of us can remember), Vespa reminds us of "Breakfast At Tiffany's", big city travel, and college campuses.They’re back again with new technology, reliability and the same elegance as before. Vespa offers four models; Piaggio has five, with more to come! Vespa continues to fascinate the public with an affordable means of freedom and transportation with Italian style and flair. |

Developed on the base of the powerful GTS, the Vespa GTV’s styling pays homage to the distinctive vintage look of classic Vespas from the 50’s and 60’s, namely the headlamp which has been positioned on the front mudguard, as it was on the very first Vespa prototype. |
|
Cleverly reinterpreting some of the traditional design and technical elements of vintage Vespas of the 1960s, the LXV is the result of pure Italian creativity and industrial culture. The LXV is built around the LX engine, a 150cc four-stroke engine that allows you to travel the highways with as much confidence as the city streets. |

The Vespa GTS250 is an uncompromising fusion of breathtaking performance, technical superiority and classic Vespa design. The GTS250 has 12” alloy wheels, front & rear disc brakes and a liquid cooled engine with electronic fuel injection. |
|
Advanced technology and iconic styling are the trademarks of the Vespa S. with its clean essential lines; the Vespa S 150 is a minimalist version of the legendary 1970’s models, and proof that the young spirit of Vespa is still very much alive. |
|
This all-new Vespa S features retro styling with a newly engineered four-stroke, four-valve SOHC engine – the most powerful 50cc four-stroke available on the market today. |

Getting Around Town Never Looked This Good!
The powerful 150cc engine allows you to take life at the speed you want. The LX150 lets you do an impressive highway like 59mph to get you where you want to go, fast. Zip through traffic with a low center of gravity and a larger front wheel (11” front – 10” back), which provides more control and agility. |
|
From the same pedigree as the first Vespa prototype built by Piaggio in 1946, the Vespa LX50 is more than 60 years in the making. Witness the evolution of style, comfort, and performance with the core values of Vespa that never change: eco-friendly engineering, passion, individualism and integrity. |
