Here’s an image of one of the first Vespa dealerships being set up in India!

Over the next couple of months, the legendary Italian scooter brand, Vespa, will be launched in India. The first product from the Piaggio Vespa stable will be the Vespa LX125 automatic scooter. Poised at a lifestyle offering, the Vespa LX125 will sit above the likes of the Suzuki Access 125 and upcoming Suzuki Swish 125. In the run up to the launch, Piaggio Vespa dealerships will begin springing up across the country and here’s an image of the first Vespa dealership being set up in Pune, India. This Vespa dealership is situated at Wakdewadi, Pune, in a stretch where a number of two wheeler and car dealerships are situated.

 

By the end of 2012, Piaggio India plans to unveil 50 dealerships in 35 cities across the length and breadth of India. Over the next couple of years, this number will be scaled up to 150 dealerships across the country. The Vespa LX125 will be built at Piaggio India’s brand new manufacturing facility at Baramati, Maharashtra, a facility that has the capacity of producing 150,000 scooters every year. Piaggio India has invested a sum of INR 210 Crores into this project. The 2012 Vespa LX125 features a 125cc four stroke engine mated to an automatic CVT transmission.

The engine produces a peak power of 10.7 Bhp while peak torque is rated at 9.6 Nm. The richly detailed 2012 Vespa LX125 is expected to be available with a front disc brake as an option. The Vespa LX125 will be followed by other scooter models for the Indian market over the coming years. Piaggio is also contemplating bringing the Moto Guzzi motorcycle brand to India. In keeping with the lifestyle status of the Vespa brand, Piaggio is also expected to sell a range of branded lifestyle accessories. The 2012 Vespa LX125 automatic scooter is expected to be priced at around the INR 55,000 mark.
