VESPA LX
Timelessly elegant design and a compact steel body are the hallmarks of an exceptionally snappy Vespa that stands out in the hurly burly of urban traffic.
Ever since it first appeared in 1946, the Vespa has escaped stereotyping of any kind. The Vespa started the scooter phenomenon and went on to sell nearly 17 million units in five continents. Its design and technical features have been regularly updated over the years, but two things about the Vespa have never changed — its inimitable style, and how easy it is to ride.
The Vespa has been the vehicle of choice for entire generations of young people, and in all these decades it has never gone out of fashion.
Initially a means of personal transport and freedom in post-war Europe, the Vespa has ended up being a style icon, a worldwide symbol of Italian design. The Vespa has never stopped evolving, while retaining the elegant simplicity that has always set it apart.
The Vespa LX is the sublime heir of a truly unique legacy, a designer scooter for those who want a stylish, avant-garde scooter for town use.
Design
On the LX, the unmistakable Vespa outline is more sharply drawn. Vibrant, angular design, utterly modern yet timelessly elegant, marks a compact yet protective steel body. The result is an eye-catching Vespa that slaloms its way with ease through the hurly burly of urban traffic.
The Vespa LX retains the features that have made the Vespa one of the world’s best-known vehicles — stylish design, absolute comfort, solidity, optimal performance in town use and twist-and-go ease of use.
The all-steel body sets the Vespa LX apart from any other scooter produced today. The advantage of the welded steel body is that it offers unmatchable rigidity and steering precision.
The Vespa LX takes its place alongside the Vespa Granturismo. Like the Granturismo, it is a successful blend of classic Vespa style and sharp-edged modern design.
The round headlamp recalls vintage Vespas and echoes the Vespa Granturismo’s design. The rear-view mirrors in chrome-plated steel are a style element straight out of Vespa history. The big, easy-to-read instrument panel features a speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge and digital clock as well as a turn signal indicator, low and high beam and oil level indicator (engine oil for the four stroke versions and fuel-oil mixture for the 50cc two stroke). The anti-theft LED is standard on the 125 and 150cc. The front shield is wide and offers excellent protection. The turn signal indicators with a stylish plastic cover are different from those on the ET: they are bigger for better visibility, with a more angular shape. The square front mudguard goes well with the front shield shape, wrapping the 11” wheel rim, which has an elegant five-spoke design in aluminium alloy.
The inside of the front shield has a glove compartment in the same colour as the bodywork to hold a mobile phone, gloves, sunglasses or other small objects. The under-seat storage area holds a full-face helmet.
Clever proportion is a Vespa trademark. The large, flat footrest panel, which makes for very comfortable riding, links the front to the rear, running all the way to the geometrically shaped cowls. This is another detail that recalls earlier Vespas. The cowls bear the classic Vespa logo and the model name and slope down to the indicators built into the bodywork. The overall design of the rear is more sharply traced and more typically ‘Vespa’ than the ET series. The tail end is blunter, emphasising the solidity of the all-steel scooter. It holds a 1970s-Vespa-style tail lamp.
The well-shaped wide saddle is made to comfortably host both rider and passenger. The passenger can use the chrome-plated handgrip that is functional as well as stylish. Saddle height of merely 775 mm (785 mm on the 125 and 150cc) gives riders of any height perfect control of the vehicle. The seat-opening button is handily located on the left side of the saddle, commonly used when getting off the scooter. There is a bag hook on the front of the saddle to rest a rucksack or bags of shopping on the footrest panel.
The Vespa LX has both a central stand and a side stand. Simple to use, with a spring that snaps it back into position for extra safety, the side stand is ideal when you need to leave the scooter idling on quick stops.
Frame and cycle parts
The monocoque steel load-bearing structure is a feature unique to the Vespa. The LX uses avant-garde technology to keep the Vespa steel body tradition alive.
Besides overall solidity, the steel structure gives the scooter exceptional rigidity for precise handling and steering.
The front suspension with its dual effect hydraulic shock absorber has an aircraft-derived single-sided trailing arm, a feature that has marked every Vespa since 1946. On the Vespa LX the single arm uses roller bearings to reduce wear and tear.
At the rear the Vespa LX has a suspension with a dual effect hydraulic single shock absorber. Spring pre-load is adjustable to four positions on the 125 and 150cc versions so that the rider and passenger can modify ride set-up for maximum comfort.
The wheel rims have an elegant five-spoke design. For the first time the front wheel diameter goes up to 11”, enhancing stability and the feeling of a safer ride. The tubeless tyres are 110/70 on the front wheel and 120/70 on the 10” rear wheel.
The brakes are a classic disk-drum combination. The hydraulic front disc brake in stainless steel has a 200 mm diameter and a caliper with two opposed pistons for quick, precise braking, backed up by the strong, easily modulated mechanical rear drum.
The 8.6 litre fuel tank fits into the body without reducing the under seat space and allows easy, tool-free access to the engine area.

Engines
The Vespa LX engine range, designed and produced entirely in-house at Piaggio, is made to suit the varying needs of riders in town use.
The four engines in the Vespa LX range meet the emissions norms more than satisfactorily as a result of the avant-garde overall engine design project as well as the use of catalytic converters and the SAS system.
Equipped with extremely modern engines from 50 to 150cc in two and four stroke versions, the Vespa LX guarantees sparkling performance and agile manoeuvring in town traffic as well as a safe, entertaining mid-range ride. The use of optimized engine parts reduces both the amount of maintenance work and the need for servicing.
The 50cc 2 stroke Hi-Per2 Is meant mainly for younger users who want a simple but powerful engine. Flexible running makes it ideal for stop-and-start use in town.
The Hi-Per4, a 50cc 4 stroke, offers the advantage of low running costs as it does 45 km to a litre, and is destined for adult users who want a modern 4 stroke without giving up on 50cc ease of use.
The 125cc is a classic Vespa displacement and the first 125cc Vespa goes back to 1948 — the famous model used in the cult film Roman Holiday. Forty-seven years later, the Vespa LX 125 uses an advanced Leader (Low Emission Advanced Engine Range) series 125cc engine. With power output of 10.3 bhp, the engine takes the Vespa LX to a speed of 91 km/h, offering the reserve power needed to slip through town traffic with the greatest of ease.
The150cc tops the Vespa LX engine range. Power output of 11.7 bhp and top speed of 95 km/h make it possible to handle mid-range trips safely while offering a cost-effective 37 km to the litre.
All the engines on the LX and the other Vespa models are the result of the challenge the Piaggio Group has set itself: offering customers performance, reliability and safety as well as the knowledge of riding a vehicle with minimal impact on the environment.
The Pontedera plant is the Piaggio Group’s major research and development centre in the engine sector and is internationally recognised for excellence.
Colours
Vespa LX 50 is available in: Tibet, Sky Blue, Lime Yellow, Excalibur Grey, Graphite Black and Dragon Red. 125 and 150 version are available in: Portofino, Midnight Blue, Lime Yellow, Excalibur Grey, Graphite Black and Dragon Red.

VESPA GTV and VESPA LXV
Two exceptional models created for the Vespa’s 60th anniversary, which will go down in the history of the world’s best-known and best-selling scooter.
The Vespa LXV and Vespa GTV celebrate 60 years of the most legendary two-wheeler of all time by reviewing and reinterpreting the trademark design and functional features of 1950s and 1960s Vespas.
The Vespa: a 1946 masterpiece
A few years after it was originally launched, the name of this unique, innovative product would come to symbolize Europe’s post-war reconstruction. Over the decades, the Vespa would become an icon of youth culture, a means for women to mark their independence and an emblem of Italian style and design worldwide.
The Vespa was a product of technical genius in the aeronautics sector, where design was indissolubly linked to function.
Over the years, the Vespa’s design and technical evolution have left the original stylistic and mechanical concepts untouched. Now, 60 years on, the Vespa continues to be an innovative product and an example of industrial design par excellence in terms of styling and production technology.
The passing decades have turned the Vespa’s strong concept, expressive styling and unequalled success worldwide into an icon featured in countless films, photographs, advertising campaigns and art and design exhibitions.
The Vespa turns 60 in 2006 and Piaggio is celebrating the event with the launch of two extraordinary Vespas: the Vespa GTV and Vespa LXV.
Cleverly re-interpreting some of the typical design and technical elements of vintage Vespas, particularly 1950s and 1960s models, the Vespa GTV and Vespa LXV pay homage to this iconic product, the result of pure Italian creativity and industrial culture.
Vespa GTV
The Vespa GTS was the perfect base on which to carry out this styling exercise. The steel load-bearing body, an element of continuity and the trademark feature of the Vespa, which sets it apart from any other scooter, has never been changed and this Vespa is no exception. The changes made to come up with the GTV concern all the details that have been modified over the years to keep up with technological and design trends in various periods.
On the very first prototype in 1946 the headlamp was positioned on the front mudguard, moving to the handlebar in the mid-1950s. By placing the headlamp on the front mudguard once again, the Vespa GTV makes a clear reference to the origins of the Vespa, while the size and the lamp surface resemble the modern styling of the Vespa GTS.
A similar change has been made to the handlebar, a simple, visible metal tube on the very first Vespa prototype. The GTV also uses a ‘naked’ handlebar, which however has a modern motorcycle-type look.
The round analogue speedometer-mileometer has relatively retro graphics, plus a digital ride information display.
The saddle, another feature that has changed considerably on Vespas over the years, has been comprehensively redesigned. As on the earliest Vespas, the GTV saddle is split into two distinct parts, one for the rider and one for the passenger. The genuine leather saddle has visible stitching, emphasising the detail on this vehicle.
A dual rear shock absorber, two disk brakes and big 12” wheels: the Vespa GTV has all the Vespa GTS’s technical equipment.
The paint on the vehicle also recalls Vespa history. Like all the early Vespa prototypes, painted an aeronautic grey, the GTV is grey — albeit a warm, modern shade of iridescent metallic grey called Avio Grey — to enhance the size and styling of its steel body. Vespa GTV is also available in the new colour Portofino.
The Vespa GTV is being launched in two displacements, 125 and 250cc. Both engines are modern four-stroke, four-valve, liquid-cooled units.
The Vespa GTV’s 125 engine delivers an excellent power output of 15 bhp / 11kW, the upper limit for two-wheelers ridden with a car license, and maximum torque of 11.5 Nm, for sparkling performance and enjoyable riding in town traffic or on joyrides with a passenger.
The 250cc Vespa GTV engine is an avant-garde Quasar 250 with electronic injection that meets Euro 3 emissions standards. The advanced closed loop injection with a Lambda sensor, together with a three-way catalytic converter and electronic control system, considerably reduces emissions as well as fuel consumption and provides immediate throttle response. The Vespa GTV 250 is fun to ride and quick off the mark, offering smooth and cost-effective running.
The Quasar 250 delivers 22 bhp power and 20.2 Nm torque at 8,250 and 6,500 rpm respectively — performance that takes the Vespa GTV to maximum speed of 122 km/h with the best acceleration of the current range of 250ccs on the market. The Vespa GTV’s timeless elegance hence houses a very modern engine.
Vespa LXV
Developed on the base of the 2005 Vespa LX, the LXV has been conceived as a tribute to the 1960s Vespas.
The 1960s: a legendary decade that witnessed the social and cultural revolution that shaped contemporary society, marked by the emergence of youth for whom the Vespa symbolised individual mobility and freedom.
As on the Vespa GTV, the changes concern the accessory parts to the metal body, recently renewed on the LX series.
The headlamp remains in its original position on the handlebar, like the 1960s scooters from which the Vespa LXV is derived, but in a slimmer, more minimalist version to emphasise the unfaired handlebar and give the front of the vehicle a more lightweight look.
The analogue instrumentation is placed in a chrome-plated frame while the unique graphics resemble those in vogue in the 1960s.
The ‘naked’ handlebar is a chrome-plated tube ending in new handles encased in fine leather, also used on the saddle that separates the rider and passenger seats as on the early models.
The Vespa LXV also ‘inherits’ all the technical equipment on the LX series with an 11” front wheel, front disk brake and two very modern, environment-friendly engines in classic Vespa displacements, 50 and 125cc.
The 50cc 2 stroke Hi-Per2 is meant for riders seeking a simple, powerful and zippy engine. Its smooth running makes it ideal for town traffic with its continual stop-and-go.
The 125cc is perhaps the most classic Vespa displacement. The first Vespa in this displacement dates back to 1948, equipping the model that shot to fame in the movie classic Roman Holiday. Fifty-eight years on, the Vespa LXV 125 uses an extremely modern four-stroke Leader (Low Emission Advanced Engine Range), with a power output of 10.3 bhp taking the Vespa LXV to a speed of 91 km/h and thereby offering the power required to handle town traffic with the greatest of ease.
Vespa LXV is available in two colours that emphasise its elegance: Avio Grey and Portofino.

VESPA GTS 250 i.e.
Cross Vespa design with Gran Turismo power and you get the exclusive Vespa GTS 250 i.e., a vehicle that brings a touch of real style to the crowded GT scooter segment.
With a 250cc four-stroke, four-valve electronic injection engine in line with Euro 3 standards, an analogue-digital instrument panel and two disc brakes with ABS, this Vespa is today’s version of the legendary GS, the benchmark in scooter racing and travelling.
Fiftyone years ago, Piaggio shook up the scooter world with its Vespa GS (Gran Sport) which gave the Vespa, conceived as a no-frills vehicle for easy travel, a racy edge. The GS was the first-ever 150cc Vespa, the first reach speeds of more than 100 kph and the first Vespa model with 10-inch wheels. It was an immediate and overwhelming success. The early phase of post-war rebuilding was over and Italy had woken up to American rock n’ roll legends and witnessed its first youth rebellion. The Vespa GS symbolised the dreams of a generation, becoming — then, as now — one of the world’s most desirable scooters. It is in fact often considered the most beautiful scooter ever produced.
The Vespa GTS 250 i.e. renews the GS blend of speed and style to become the fastest, most powerful and most high-tech Vespa in history.
With an ultra-modern, powerful 250cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, electronic injection engine, the Vespa GTS has large 12” wheels and a superb double-disc braking system with an optional ABS and brake servo. The Vespa GTS 250 i.e. is one of the very first two-wheelers — and the first in the 250cc category — to meet the strict upcoming 2006 Euro 3 standards. The steel frame is the same design as the successful Vespa Granturismo and new features on the GTS include the tail light, instrument panel, a wide, racy saddle and a vintage-Vespa-style rear rack.
In a GT scooter market where riders are spoiled for choice, the Vespa GTS is an all-in-one option. It combines the Vespa’s classy, exclusive look and manoeuvrability with the performance and technological prowess of big GT scooters.
The racy new Vespa GTS 250 i.e. is the largest engine displacement in the Vespa range and the most eye-catching new GT scooter. Well up to speed when touring, it is agile and nippy in heavy town traffic.
Stylish, fast travel
Free, modern and urban, the Vespa is a synonym for the scooter. Elegant, practical and smart, it is a pleasure to own and use.
The Vespa GTS 250 i.e. takes the Vespa Granturismo concept of power and technology several steps forward. Unmistakably a Vespa, the GTS offers extra speed and style in the GS tradition, which started in 1955 and went on through successive racing models such as the 90 SS, the Vespa Rally and the 50 Special.
A few design changes have been made to add fluidity and dynamism to the look of the GTS. No ostentatious racing elements, just a slightly raised rear half, starting from the licence plate, placed higher than on the Granturismo, and a tail light detached from the rear to visually push the entire vehicle forward, an impression emphasised by the new, thinner side panels.
From the front the Vespa GTS is instantly recognisable by its position light placed midway down the shield next to the horn, reminiscent of 1950s Vespas, which had a small lamp on the mudguard.
The Vespa GTS 250 i.e. has the Vespa Granturismo’s sculpted cowls, bulbous headlamp, folding pillion foot pegs and optimal ergonomics, and a seating position that ensures perfect control of the vehicle.
Like every other Vespa, the GTS has the trademark monocoque chassis made from sheet steel for unparalleled rigidity and steering precision.
While its natural riding position and ergonomics have always made the Vespa extremely easy to handle, the seat on the Vespa GTS has a new shape and material to offer improved comfort on longer runs. The impeccably finished, double-stitched saddle is just one example of the attention to detail on every Vespa model.
The storage area under the seat holds two Vespa half-face helmets and sundry items. The glove compartment in the front shield holds sunglasses, a mobile phone and other small items the rider needs all within a hand’s reach.
The instrumentation is one of the high-tech aspects of the Vespa GTS 250. Simple and stylish, the LCD display includes a fuel gauge, a rev counter bar, full and partial mileage, a digital clock with the date, an outside air temperature gauge and a coolant temperature gauge.
Analogue instruments include a speedometer and a comprehensive set of warning lights: turn signals, position and high beam lights, oil pressure, fuel reserve, the Immobilizer LED light and the injection control LED light. The ABS version comes with its own LED light.

VESPA GTS i.e. (nastavak teksta):
Frame and cycle parts
Piaggio used the most advanced technology to design and manufacture the steel frame. The casting phase in particular was done using reverse engineering to produce the final CAD model. This avant-garde process uses FEM (Finite Elements Method) calculations to analyse rigidity and shock resistance, backed up by modal analysis of moving parts such as the suspension and engine support to optimise comfort and road grip and contain vibration.
The virtual modelling process on the Vespa GTS 250 i.e. used mathematical models right from the pre-prototype stage to analyse coolant flow in the two-element radiator.
Within the Vespa GTS frame, the fuel tank is placed under the saddle. Its 9.2 litre capacity, which provides an extended riding range, does not limit the storage area or hamper access to the engine once the storage compartment has been lifted off (no tools required).
The legendary rigidity of the monocoque structure is backed up on the Vespa GTS by excellent cycle parts including 12” wheels with a 120/70 tyre in front and an extra-large 130/70 at the rear.
The front suspension is a classic single-sided trailing arm, a Vespa standard that offers various riding benefits. Because the shock is independent of the structure, it is affected less by twisting and bending, and the suspension limits front-end dive when braking. The chrome spring adds a distinctive visual touch.
Two hydraulic shock absorbers adjustable for preload are fixed to the transmission cover and the exhaust support tube at the rear.
The Vespa GTS 250 i.e. is the first Vespa in history and one of very few scooters to offer an electronic anti-lock braking system for total safety on high-traction surfaces and optimal use of the considerable braking power the twin 220-mm discs offer. The ABS model additionally shortens braking distance and enhances steering control by using a brake servo for optimal braking with minimal effort, and evenly distributes brake pressure to both ends. The result is total control of the Vespa GTS in difficult riding conditions — on bad roads and in rain or snow.
Quasar 250 i.e.: the Vespa GTS’s powerful propulsion
With the Vespa GTS, Vespa engine displacement goes up to 250cc for the first time. The top displacement so far was 200cc on the PX and the Granturismo.
Size isn’t the only distinctive feature of the GTS engine. This new Quasar 250 with electronic injection is a four-stroke, four-valve liquid cooled unit that meets Euro 3 standards well in advance of the 2006 deadline. The advanced closed loop injection with a Lambda sensor, three-way catalytic converter and electronic ignition system control considerably reduces both emissions and fuel consumption and provides immediate throttle response. The Vespa GTS is fun to ride, offering sparkling performance, fluid running, sharp response and cost-effective running.
The new Quasar i.e. series is the result of the Piaggio engine division’s commitment to creating a top quality, environment-friendly engine.
Along with the use of electronic injection, the mechanicals have been reworked totally. Distributor phasing has been adjusted to improve injection output and the entire conrod assembly has been redesigned to make it smoother and quieter.
Piaggio’s technicians worked on reducing engine noise and providing a pleasing exhaust timbre. They used detailed psychoacoustic analysis to this end, making significant mechanical changes. The thermodynamic machinery has been significantly altered: the cylinder is made of a different material and the piston has a new design. The tappet covers, automatic variator, clutch and flywheel are also new. The aspiration and exhaust system was redrawn from scratch. The result is a subdued, pleasing exhaust timbre that suits the stylishly racy Vespa GTS 250 i.e. perfectly without affecting performance.
Careful work on the electronic injection has also resulted in an engine-braking effect that conventional CVTs do not supply. As a result, the Quasar i.e. lowers demand on the brake system when the rider releases the throttle, and makes curve-taking smoother.
The Quasar 250 i.e. develops power output of 22 hp and torque of 20.2 Nm at 8,250 and 6,500 rpm respectively, taking the Vespa GTS to a top speed of 122 km/h and offering acceleration at the top of the 250cc category. This high-tech engine makes the Vespa GTS a fast, comfortable and smooth ride in town and while touring.
