Vespa has recently released another version from its LX scooter range, the Vespa LX Touring. It’s another indication of how popular this range of Vespa scooters has become, with more comfort and modern technology, but a dose of Vespa elegance and style. The “touring” name indicates scooters adapted to more adventurous mini suburban trips, although city riding still remains the core of these Vespa LX models.

The new Vespa LX Touring are available in 125 and 150 cc models with electronic fuel injection. The 125 cc version is availabe with a four-stroke, single cylinder motor with 10.7 hp and reduced CO2 emissions. The Touring 150 model has 12.1 hp, and can cope with highway riding, making it more suitable for extra-urban weekend missions.

They are both available in ‘Marrone Terra di Toscana’ colour, or Tuscan Earth Brown, and the chrome luggage accessories are part of the standard offer. The front of the LX Touring model is designed for aerodynamic wind protection and the scooter also features a side trestle stand as well as a central one. The LX Touring 125 will cost about 3,550 euros and the 150 cc model has a price of about 3,750 euros.

The Vespa LX and Vespa S have now been released with new electronic ignition in the 125 and 150cc versions. The new fuel injection system means cleaner engines and greater efficiency, with these Vespa models joining the rest of the range for modern technology and classic style.

After abandoning the carburettors, the four-stroke, twin valve, air-cooled motors are now more powerful, with increased torque, at lower engine speeds. The Vespa LX and Vespa S now feature reduced fuel consumption and emissions, with a sports style scooter.

We’re spoiled for choice this summer with the range of scooters out there! The Vespa LX and S area available in various colours (we like orange!), though no pricing has been released. See after the jump for the full press release and technical specs from Vespa.
