Okay, I know we're in Car Talk but there's a new Vespa in town guys. Dubbed the S125, is the company's latest addition to their "small body" range of scooters. The Vespa S125 commemorates legendary models of the 70's such as the 50 Special and the Primavera while possessing its own set of new-age changes and additions.
Physique
The Vespa S125 features a square headlight this time, with more pronounced all round panels such as the new mudguards and saddle profile. Under the body, red colour coded springs adds meat to the sporty Vespino.
There's also a new face to the Vespa, replacing previous chrome trims, this scooter now wears a new "tie" on the front mask, black horn shroud and black crest on the front mudguard, with matching black 5-spoke wheels resulting in a sportier, more current look.
Power
Over on the power side is a new engine, a 11.6hp, 3-valve, 4-stroke, 124cc single-cylinder which Vespa claims is highly technologically advanced and is said to reduce friction, while optimising performance and yet being extremely efficient.
This new Vespa 3V engine weighs less than it's 2V predecessor and provides an improvement in performance by upping maximum power by 7.1 percent and torque by 10.3 percent. Mated to this new S125, seasoned Vespa owners can expect to sprint from Zerotohundred up to 0.2 secs quicker while Fuel consumption is at a staggering 30 percent improvement.
