The legendary Vespa PX is back with us. Just 2 years since production ceased, and 33 years since the first Vespa PX was produced, the iconic scooter returns!
In keeping with what PX lovers adore about the Vespa PX, little changes from the original. Maybe surprisingly, the 2 stroke engine stays (in 125 or 150 form) with help from a new cat and electronic ignition plusthe old kickstart also remains as back up, a much loved feature. Comfortand safetyseems to be thefocal point with therevised PX gaining a new seat with new fabrics, and anupgraded headlamp for improved visability. The rear light has seen some refinements to make it classic yet elegant. Enhancements throughout the lighting system have taken place along with the front grille and handlebar grips. Front disc and rear drums are retained together with the handlebar mounted 4 speed manual gear change.
Strange how the Vespa PX ceased production in 2008 because of its excessive 2 stroke emissions yet the new model retains the 2 stroke power. It seems a likley arguement that continuing to produce the PX in 2008 would have affected sales of the modern 4 stroke Vespa such as the GTS/GTV range.These have indeed been accepted across the scooter scene but this didn't happen overnight and has taken a good 3 or 4 years.
Despite having not laid eyes on one in the flesh just yet, the guys at Vespa seem to have consulted PX owners the world over to get this right. Well done Vespa! Vespa scooters are as popular as ever with an incredible choice, new and usedat www.vespasforsale.co.uk
