    My dad had a Vespa 150 for a very long time and a Activa had to replace this ....he had given that for Rs. 2000/- to one of the neighbourhood mechanic...not sure if he still has that....I remember the days when I flicked this scooter to ride to ooty during my college days....we had gone to Ooty just to have a tea and come back...Rs. 200/- petrol would do for a entire round about trip to Ooty and return via Kothagiri

    Would love to get this if at all they launch again.
    Never Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

      aah...nostalgia !!!!
      A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

              nice review here, the Paggio LML vespa scooters were at one time country's best scooters, though in numbers- bajaj was leader. but at that time also bajaj copied a few things from them like side stepney in on of the models and bajaj legend model which looked quite similar to this one, which unfortunately was not so successfull.

              now-a-days we miss the good old LML vespa....

              i have heard somewhere that vespa is again planning to enter indian market, though, i don't remember the exact news...

              regarding this scooter, well it performs good, specs are good.

              though, i would like a bigger fuel tank (25 kmpl X 9 ltr.s = 225 kms is not a nice range)and double (both side) front fork suspension. i feel single sided is not a good design for either touring or potholes filled roads.

              but i am a little bit disappointed with looks, it is too retro in looks, and in india, not many people will be interested in this retro styled gearless scooter.

              i personally feel that, it should come with more modern looks with seats that preovide good back support too, i mean stepped seats. should be more modern looking...somewhat like touring scooter. something like this--



              well, if this launched in india, i might purchase it and give it to my wife, so that we have a second option available with us for touring except my bike. and i would love to ride it once in a while.
