Vespa LX 150 3V and Vespa S 150 3V


Excitement mounts as news arrives that the new Vespa LX 150 and Vespa S 150 with the new 3 valve engines is on it's way and will land at Vespa South Africa mid September 2012. This next generation engine was first in introduced to the world powering the Vespa 946 Quarantasei at the EICMA 2011 Milan Motorcycle show in November.
Although this engine from the outside looks very similar to the previous 150 model, there have been vast improvements. At 155cc this nimble three valve engine (2 intake, 1 exhaust) is claimed to produce 12.7hp at 7,750 rpm with 30% improvement in fuel economy.




With service intervals extended to 10,000km and super low operating costs what more can you ask from a Vespa.

Service intervals at 10 000kms hey! That is what I already do on my GT 200 with never a hiccup.

Just had a look at the video. Riding along in the eternal city, is a dream that I still wish to fulfill. :-)
