Piaggio sets shop in India and the Vespa LX125 will roll out in 2012

2012 Vespa LX125

Once upon a time, Italian scooter maker Piaggio tied up with Bajaj or rather licensed Bajaj to sell it’s scooters in India. A decade passed and Piaggio entered India with LML and produced some wonderful scooters under the LML Vespa brand. LML went defunct in the Indian market and now concentrates on exports and some limited domestic 4 stroke production production for the scooter crazy Delhi belt. Meanwhile, Piaggio stayed on manufacturing uninspiring three wheelers under the Ape brand.

Piaggio, now in it’s third innings in India as a scooter maker of repute finally is setting up a greenfield facility in Baramati that will produce the Vespa LX125 for the Indian market. Finally, folks who’d love to own a scooter but cannot stand vanilla machines like the Honda Activa and Suzuki Access 125 might find the Italian bred Vespa LX125′s retro lines very interesting.

Add the 125cc four stroke CVT engine that produces a rorty 10.7 Bhp of power allied to 9.6 Nm of torque and there, you have a very chic looking retro Vespa both you and your dad would love to be seen on. 2012 is when the first of the Vespa LX125s would hit Indian streets as per the official press conference Piaggio held in Mumbai today announcing the re-entry of the iconic Vespa brand into India, which along with Aprilia would be Piaggio’s new beginning in the Indian market.

i am very much interested to accompany with ROME automobile company PIAGGIO. I have been looking for a great bussiness opportunity since long years, now i feel that i have got one. I am a resident of hyderabad, i have read ur AD in Times of India and approached u. I will look for an infrastructure required for the Dealership as i dont have one of my own, but i guarrente that i will leave no stone unturned to make lofty sales and benifit the company as well as myself. I just want a wind of trust by the company and within short span all the RAJASTHAN in JAIPUR will be rolling on the ESTEEMD VESPA.

A journey of miles starts from a single step.
