This scooter was launched a few months ago. I just came across it. It is tantalizingly gorgeous. Thought of sharing it. Even though scooters are not really eyecandy for most bikers, but still. It is a Vespa. It was designed to commemorate the 1946 Vespa. That is the reason the new scooter is named the Vespa 946.



Attention to low consumption of the 3-valve engine, associated with a friction and vibration reduction system . A completely digital instrumentation. Born in 1946 to get an entire nation on the move, the Vespa gave new impetus to the entire world. Similarly, the 946 is the result of the pride of an all-Italian research, development and production centre. It leaves Pontedera for the entire planet. Every evolution can only start from its origins. A glance at the 946 brings to mind the creativity and inventive ability of Corradino D'Ascanio, the brilliant designer of the first Vespa. As for the MP6 prototype which inspired it, the Vespa 946 is the dynamic model of the beginning of a new era. Behind the breathtaking lines of the first scooter with monocoque body is advanced technology, designed to constantly evolve in terms of users and eco-friendliness.




The 946 125 cc, single-cylinder 4-stroke engine, with 3-valve injection and bearings for all moving parts, minimises fuel consumption and emissions. All this can be summed up in the definition techno(eco)logical power.
