If you got this months scooter magazine (Scooter 15) and flipped it over to the back cover you may have noted three things of interest.

Priced at $3990 for the 50 cc model($100 over standard) and $5990 for the 125cc these Vespa models offer a point of difference at no more then the cost of the standard LX range.

Piaggio Italy

In overseas news we hear that Vespa has launched a new colour scheme.
Said to enhance the elegance of the classic Vespa range the LXV and GTV models now come in a Midnight Blue and Sand saddle combination.
We have the GTV 250 i.e. in the Australian product range but not the LXV as seen in these pictures.
Out of the 400 or so 250 cc fuel injected Vespa’s sold in 2007 around 1 in 4 was a classic styled GTV.
Both models were styled to relive the shapes around the 50′ and 60’s and were both born in 2006 to celebrate the companies heritage and 60th anniversary.

“A Roman Chariot”

Just as Henry Ford created mass individual transport for the United States with the Model T, in 1946 Enrico Piaggio devised its counterpart, the Vespa, for Italy. Emerging from Worl War II, Piaggio quickly rebult its factory in Tuscany, focusing on providing the recovering nation with an economical and modern mode of transportation. Thus, the Vespa arose like a Phoenix from the ashes of War. Lina Wertmuller, the legendary Italian director, would call the Vespa “one of the first positive symbols of a rebuilt Italy…a symbol of its sunny, beautiful, simpatica and vital nature.

The iconic Vespa, considered the ultimate motor scooter, was originally a Early Scooter Riders utility vehicle. By the 1960’s, it had become an object of the Italians’ imagination, becoming one of the best known Italian trademarks in the world today.
