[LA LEGGENDA CLASSICA]

www.vespa.com.au

[THE CLASSIC LEGEND] The Piaggio company, nestled in the Tuscan countryside between Florence and Pisa, first invented scooters in 1946 when they produced the first ever Vespa and helped liberate a war-torn Italy.

Vespa remains the iconic scooter brand with its unique metal-bodied design.

Today Piaggio continues to produce scooters under the classic Vespa brand, the sporty Gilera brand and the contemporary Piaggio brand. In Australia, PS Importers is the sole importer of this iconic and popular range.

[ LA VESPA ]

Sporty, dynamic and stylish are all characteristics that describe Vespa. Now with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) across most of the range*, Vespa continues to redefine the pleasure of commuting in style. From the compact LX and S series models in sizes from 50cc to 150cc, to the Sporty GTS300 Super, there is a model that suits everyones corner of the universe. Design and technology have been carefully considered to emphasise the spirit of Vespa, and the design retains the values of the classic original whilst combining up to date technology. The all steel body is a unique characteristic and remains a foundation not only of the Vespa itself but of history and tradition.

Born on the streets of Rome and now at home on streets throughout Australia, a Vespa is the smart way to get about with ease. Laugh at the petrol pump, chuckle at traffic congestion and park without stress while immersing yourself and your lifestyle in an Italian love affair that has endured since 1946.*EFI not on 50cc models

[ VESPA PX 150 ]

The venerable classic is back. The PX150 is a study in how to take a much loved classic for more than 30 years, and make it better without alienating the non-compromising enthusiast.

The new PX150 has been refined under the skin to provide the rewards of modern technology that we take for granted today but still retains those unique features like the 2-stroke engine and manual 4-speed transmission with twist-grip shifting. The PX provides a genuine interactive experience with the rider in partnership and not simply a participant.

PX owners asked Dont change a thing, just make it better. Job Done.

[CHOOSING YOUR SCOOTER]

First of all you need to ask yourself what you will use the scooter for. Think about the roads youll be using and the speed of the surrounding road users. It will help to use the guide chart to your right to narrow down your choice. You can then think about the style of scooter you require. Piaggio is the contemporary brand with the modern clean lines. Gilera is the sport brand with aggressive styling and performance to match. Vespa is the classic favourite and stands alone as the embodiment of scooter style.

Maximum speeds are a guide only and are affected by load and weather conditions. Extended and continuous operation should be around 80-85 percent of the maximum speed capability and maximum speed reserved for intermittent bursts.

50cc scooters are speed limited to 50km/h by law and allow car licence holders in QLD, WA, NT and SA to ride on a car licence.

Your Piaggio dealer also has a wealth of information and good advice when selecting a scooter to suit your needs. Locate your nearest dealer go to www.vespa.com.au
