Vespa scooters are modern and revived versions of the old LML Vespa geared scooters. The lineup was introduced in India in 2012. It looked much like those classy Italian scooters cruising down the sea-side road. Now, Vespa has one of the costliest scooters in its lineup, with prices going easily above Rs 1 Lakh. Its entire lineup was much costlier than its competitors, making it affordable only for a fan base. Now, the Italian giant has launched its cheapest gearless scooter in India. The Vespa Notte 125 has been launched in India and is priced at Rs 70,285 (ex-showroom Delhi). It is cheaper than the VXL 125 by Rs 4,000. This limited edition 125cc scooter misses out on some important features. But at this price, it would certainly appeal to people who prefer looks over features.

‘Notte’ in Italian means night. That’s why this scooter gets an all-black treatment. It gets the matte black colour in the body, wheels, brakes, mirrors, seat and grab-rails. However, it misses out on some important features that are generally found in other 125cc scooters. It misses out on the front disc brake and gets drum brakes instead. Also, instead of the tubeless tyres, Vespa Notte 125 gets tube tyres. Any scooter now rarely gives tubeless tyres.
