Given the taut competition in India's two-wheeler market, the race to have an edge over others has made the competition much more fierce. And in this race, the Italian two-wheeler manufacturer, i.e. Piaggio is ready to play its move to attract the PYTs of the nation with the iconic Vespa. Piaggio has readied a new line-up of Piaggio Vespa LX125 with the addition of girly variants to the Vespa family. Expected to be announced during the upcoming festive season, the Italian company basically added to new colours, i.e. pink and orange, to attract more attention from the girls of the country. Other than the new colours, the scooters will feature no other change. The third generation of the iconic Vespa returned to the Indian market in April 2012, and was received quite well by the brand-conscious Indians.
This, despite the fact that Vespa LX125 is the most expensive scooter available in India. However, what gives the vintage-styled Vespa LX125 such a 'unisex' appeal is its smaller dimensions, as compared to its contemporaries, namely, Honda Aviator, Suzuki Access 125 and Hero MotoCorp Maestro 110. With a growing number of players in the segment targeting the fairer sex, the news of Vespa LX125's girly variants is outright fortuitous. Yamaha recently launched its women-oriented scooter, i.e. Yamaha Ray, taking the tally of scooters for women to a total of four, which also includes TVS Scooty Pep+, TVS Scooty Streak and Hero MotoCorp Pleasure. But what really helped Vespa score better is its iconic appeal in addition to its stylish retro looks. Hopefully, the new variants will help Piaggio maintain, in fact better their stance in the Indian market.

Vespa Elegante 125 User Reviews
- Waiting for offers to buy the scooterI saw the scooter and liked it very much. When I enquired about it, I was shocked to know that the scooter is this much expensive. I felt this shock two times in two days. First, I got to know that the top end variant of Maruti S Cross is costing Rs. 16 lac, after that, heard about overpriced Vespa. I hope there will be some cost cutting later on, as the scooter is not worth its price. One can think of buying it for Rs. 60,000 to 65,000 but I don’t think anyone would pay over Rs. 70,000 to buy it. It carries great looks and is available in dynamic shades to complete its class. I am eagerly waiting for its price to decrease so that I can buy the scooter as I am liking it very much. I am Shravan Kumar from Uttar Pradesh, please reply me here if you get any information about the decrease in Vespa’s price. I hope this review will be helpful for others. Thank you.Read More1
- Killer LooksI purchased Vespa yesterday after hearing a lot of good things about it. The scooter is so smooth that sometimes you do not feel that its ignition is on when standing on a traffic signal. It is also well balanced and offers smooth running. Over these benefits, it is putting out a great mileage of 50 to 55 kmpl, I hope that the mileage will increase after its first service. The all new scooter reached to the speed of 90 kmph in a stretch of just 500 meters, that shows its power output. The stopping power is great and the tyres provide a good grip on the road. Its on-road price is around Rs. 77,000. If you are a scooter design fan, you should spend your earnings on it, otherwise, it is a costly scooter that will offer classic looks but perform like some others. Vespa is good for those who find these kinds of scooters attractive, it is only meant for them.Read More
- Attractive retro styleVespa is the non-geared two-wheeler from Piaggio. It is the only scooter in the country with retro looks and is being liked by most of the people. I bought my Vespa Elegante last month. I thought it would be powerful but it is not. It generates a maximum power output of around 10 bhp. But Vespa is stable, well-balanced and offers smooth running even on speeds over 70 kmph. It is a bit costly and goes to Rs.90,000 with its top end variant. It has both the electric and the kick start option for rider’s convenience. The old school looks of Vespa and its smooth running attracted me to buy the scooter. 7 litres of fuel tank capacity and boot space is enough to store a helmet and other small stuff. The headlight provides a good view of the road and high seating keeps you safe as you can see the potholes from a distance and can avoid them. Vespa is not worth its cost but is a good scooter overall.Read More
