Design and Styling
The new Vespa 75th Edition is based on the VXL series. Thus, the design comprises a round headlight at the front, curvy body panels, and several chrome elements. While the design is similar to the standard VXL range, the Vespa 75th Edition gets a new paint theme and decals. This special edition scooter comes with a glossy metallic Giallo paint scheme along with soft Nobuk leather feel dark smoke grey seats. The styling elements also include a flyscreen at the front, a circular bag installed on the retractable rack at the rear, and number ‘75’ on the apron, front fender, and under-seat panels.
Engine
Similar to the design, the mechanical specifications, too, are identical to the standard VXL series. Thus, the 125cc variant of the Vespa 75th Edition produces 9.78bhp of maximum power and 9.60Nm of peak torque. The 150cc version, on the other hand, makes 10.32bhp of power and 10.60Nm of peak torque.
