The new Vespa LXV 125 has electronic fuel injection for 2010, bringing the small vintage scooter up to date with better fuel consumption and performance. The Vespa LXV 125 already complies with Euro 3 emissions standards but new fuel injection technology makes for greater power and torque at lower engine speeds.

The LXV 125 now has 7.9 kW (10.7 hp) at 8,250 rpm and 9.6 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. While keeping its vintage look, the new Vespa LXV 125 has abandoned the carburettor in favour of a zippy, modern scooter for urban riding. Better fuel consumption and lower emissions round off the benefits, making this a more environmentally friendly scooter.

The Vespa LXV 125 was built at Piaggio headquarters in Pontedera, where the 1960’s style has been preserved to maintain classic Vespa design. The fuel injection LXV 125 is already available on the market in the colour of Portofino Green. See all the technical specs after the jump.
