The Vespa LXV and GTV models celebrate 60 years of the most legendary two-wheeler of all time by re-introducing the trademark Vespa styling and features from the 50s and 60s models.

Developed on the Vespa LX, the LXV was designed as a tribute to the 1960s Vespa. The updates to the LXV are on the accessory parts to the metal body, such as the headlamp and handlebars. The headlamp remains on the handlebar, but in a slimmer, more minimalist version to emphasize the ‘naked’ handlebar and to give the front of the vehicle a more lightweight look. The analog instrumentation is placed in a chrome-plated frame while the unique graphics resemble those in vogue in the 1960s. Real leather is used on the saddle, which is designed with a separate passenger seat just as on the early Vespa models, underneath which is a storage compartment.

The LXV is built around the LX engine, a 150cc four-stroke engine.

The Vespa GTV and LXV models celebrate 60 years of the most legendary two-wheeler of all time by re-introducing the trademark Vespa styling and features from the 50s and 60s models.

The GTV features several distinctive stylistic details, namely the headlamp which has been positioned on the front mudguard, as it was on the very first Vespa prototype. Additional features evoke the original Vespa as well, such as the ‘naked’ handlebar and the dual-seat saddle which is made of genuine leather and houses storage space suitable for your helmet. The round analog speedometer has relatively retro graphics, plus a digital ride information display.

The GTV utilizes a powerful 250cc four-valve, liquid-cooled engine with electronic injection, a double rear shock absorber and 12″ wheels with disk brakes.
