The technology and performance of a 125, the sporty attitude of the “Vespino” that conquered the ’60s…
STYLE AND TECHNOLOGY
The Vespa Sprint 125 is perfect if you’re looking for a 125 scooter for riding round town dynamically and safely but without sacrificing any of the comfort and unmistakable style of the Vespa tradition.
This Sprint has a single cylinder 4-stroke engine designed to enhance performance and cut consumption and emissions. This is why it has 3 valve distribution, which delivers greater efficiency than conventional 2 valve engines.
Vespa Sprint is the most modern version of the Vespa sport idea.
Full of the most advanced technical equipment available today and designed to obtain superior stability and handling levels, Vespa Sprint is born with riding pleasure in mind in order to make even the most routine daily commute fun.
From the mid-sixties a new generation of sporty Vespas was invading European streets. They were small, quick, extremely agile and modern, just like the mentality of the guys and girls straddling them. And so, generations seeking freedom and following the speed of ideas which were changing the world in those days were able to find their wings.
So Vespa Sprint embodies the heritage of a tradition of vitality and youthfulness. It was conceived as an evolution of the Vespa Primavera project and intended for young people of all ages, enhancing the sport style that its legendary name evokes. Vespa Sprint boasts a body that is small and lightweight, but also comfortable and protective, entirely made in steel and characterised by an extremely youthful line, marked by a gritty rectangular headlight and it stands out for the large 12″ wheels with spectacular aluminium alloy rims.
Vespa Primavera and Sprint are also available in two 50 cc engine versions, dedicated to the very young rider, a tribute to the tradition which began in the ’60s when the legendary small engine capacity “Vespini” became the preferred mode of transportation for the teens of that period.
The 2-stroke 50 cc engine in the Hi-Per2 series is intended for young riders looking for more brilliant performance to get around quickly in the city. The 4-stroke 50 cc engine boasts modern 4 valve timing that provides more lively acceleration: in fact, it is the most powerful 4-stroke 50 cc engine on the market, with its 4.35 HP produced in a very linear way, along with excellent fuel economy and limited polluting emissions. The 50 cc versions of Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint also come with the USB socket located in the leg shield back plate compartment.

THE RETURN OF A LEGEND
Vespa has been driving whole generations of young people for over 70 years and one of the most important models in this long story is certainly the Vespa Primavera.
Originally launched in 1968, the legend has now returned with a totally new and future looking design. While respecting its tradition, the Vespa Primavera has a strikingly modern and appealing line and can also boast unrivalled handling. Its limited weight and best-in-category ergonomics make it perfect for trouble-free travel about town.
In terms of safety too, the Primavera raises the bar, thanks to its highly rigid steel body, 200 mm disc brake, new front suspension and ABS safety system.
A full range of modern and efficient engines and a superior level collection of colours and combinations offer optimum choices for everyone’s needs.
THE LEGEND BECOMES 2.0
The Primavera was a quintessentially Italian creation but it was thanks to this product that Vespa grew into a global phenomenon. An icon of style and freedom, it spread round the world, thanks also to the web, and became a unique hero of design for the young.
Now as then, the Vespa Primavera is a legendary, solid and manageable scooter whose detailing and colours are perfectly in line with international fashion trends, and whose technology is sensitive to environmental concerns. A vehicle that’s ideal for the fast and frequent reality of metropolitan mobility.
GREEN TECHNOLOGY
In terms of quality and safety, the technology in the Vespa Primavera marks a leap forward compared to current “small body” models: the new front suspension with the shock damper hinged to the base, 11” wheels, new digital instrumentation including a trip computer, LED daylights and tail light (on the 125 and 150cc) and a full range of engines that improve consumption and reduce emissions are all good for our planet too.
VESPA ANNIVERSARY
It was in 1946 that the first Vespa, the legendary 98 cc, rolled out of the Pontedera works. For its seventieth anniversary Piaggio Group is paying tribute to the best loved scooter of all time with a special version.
The powerful and sporty GTS is celebrating this important milestone with an exclusive color scheme based on the new Azzurro 70 and Grigio 70 colors. Also new is the personalization of the dark brown saddle with a contrasting beige trim and the Vespa Settantesimo logo.
Its livery is characterized by dedicated graphics on the sides and a name-shield on the hatch of the front boot, while the rims are painted in a special non-standard color.
The Vespa Settantesimo special series also offers a new boot bag, co-ordinating with the saddle, that can be housed on the rear luggage rack grill coming standard on all the models in this special range.

VESPA PRIMAVERA AND VESPA SPRINT
THE NEW AND ULTRA-MODERN PIAGGIO I-GET EURO 4 ENGINE EQUIPS THE YOUNGEST VESPA VERSIONS: OPTIMISED PERFORMANCE, LOWER OPERATING COSTS, EXTREMELY QUIET AND EFFICIENT. VESPA PRIMAVERA AND VESPA SPRINT ALSO BOAST A GENEROUS EQUIPMENT PACKAGE AND ABS AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Once again, Vespa confirms its technological cutting-edge, which has always distinguished it and left its mark on history, proving to be one of the most modern and safest vehicles in the world. Introducing the new versions of Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint which are heirs to the legendary “Vespino” that charmed and transported entire generations of young people all over the world in the ’60s. They stand out for their more generous equipment package that includes a very handy USB socket, located inside the leg shield back plate compartment, and the ABS braking system, now standard on all 125 and 150 cc versions. The most important innovation comes in the form of the new Piaggio i-get Euro 4 powerplant, capable of ensuring brilliant performance, contained consumption and extremely high overall efficiency.
New i-get engine: maximum quality and reliability
The new powerplants are the result of a design philosophy that sets new and more advanced quality and reliability levels as its primary objectives. Every aspect of the design process was aimed at increasing the efficiency of each individual component, thereby working together to maximise performance and, at the same time, minimise consumption and emissions (not only polluting emissions but also sound emissions). More than one million kilometres which have already been ridden during the testing phase are a testament to the attention to quality and reliability in the development process of the new i-get engines which, thanks to the modular nature of the project, can be provided in liquid or air cooled versions with 3 or 4 valve timing.
The new i-get powerplants that equip Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint are ultra-modern single cylinder 4-stroke 125 and 150 cc air cooled engines with electronic injection and 3-valve timing. Each and every detail, from the exhaust to the internal design of the gearbox cover, has been designed to make the ride smoother, quieter and more comfortable. The injection system has been optimised and improved in terms of efficiency; the ECU now has a barometric sensor that guarantees optimum combustion every time in any condition of use and at any altitude. This means that the power and torque output reach new and high levels of regularity and reliability, even in the city with constant “stop and go” riding.
These engines are extremely environmentally friendly since they are approved in compliance with the Euro 4 Multi-Directive, and they are capable of performance which is at the top of the category: the i-get 125 cc has maximum power and torque that measure in respectively at 7.9 kW at 7,700 rpm and 10.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm, whereas the 150 cc reaches 9.5 kW maximum power at 7,750 rpm and 12.8 Nm maximum torque at 6,500. These are values that, along with the proverbial light weight typical of all Vespas, make this Vespa “small body” particularly quick both in city traffic and on stretches of open road. A perfectly calibrated gearbox with new and more resistant friction materials for the dry centrifugal automatic clutch contributes to this result. This brilliant performance is combined with fuel consumption values that are reduced to a minimum: the particular architecture of the engine and the solutions adopted for the various components makes 45.5 km/l possible for the 125 and 41 km/l for the 150 measured in the WMTC cycle. Thanks to a spacious, 8 litre fuel tank, Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint now boast a highly respectable travel range: 364 km can be covered with a full tank on the 125 cc and 328 km with the 150 cc.
The Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint i-get powerplants are single cylinder engines, completely new both in terms of mechanical components and electronic parts. Worth a mention in more detail are:
the crankshaft, with 24% increased inertia compared with the previous engine for a decisive reduction in vibrations and a smoother ride;
the new starter motor, decidedly quieter;
the new gearbox cover, to reduce the noise even more and increase stiffness;
the barometric sensor, so that combustion is always optimised.
The exhaust system is also entirely new. The new unit makes the engine quieter and at the same time ensures a more full and pleasant timbre.
ABS as standard on all versions
On all of the 125 and 150 Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint versions, the ABS braking system now comes standard, a further technical advancement intended to increase safety. The front wheel on Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint has a speed detection system – a sensor and a tone wheel – which instantaneously measures its speed and deceleration compared to that of the scooter. The sensor dialogues with an electro hydraulic control unit which activates the ABS system if the wheel decelerates abruptly, preventing locking and the consequent loss of control over the vehicle, thereby guaranteeing stability, vehicle control and efficient braking even on low friction coefficient surfaces such as wet or dirty asphalt.
This system, developed specifically for the Vespa Primavera and Vespa Spring, can also boast being lightweight, leaving the kerb weight virtually unchanged. The advantages are tangible in terms of safety and riding pleasure on the road, where riders will discover a Vespa with dynamic qualities and exceptional stability and handling. Other contributors to road safety are the generous wheel rim sizes on both the Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint.
Versions and colours
The new Vespa Primavera comes in the 125 and 150 cc engine capacity versions, available in four colour schemes: Rosso Dragon (with beige saddle); Nero Vulcano (with red saddle); Blu Midnight (with beige saddle) and Montebianco (with red saddle). Vespa Primavera is also available in the Touring version, a special equipment package characterised by a front and rear luggage rack, both chromium plated which, as the most classic Vespa iconography shows, considerably increase the cargo capacity and prepare the most beloved scooter in the world for any adventurous voyage.
Also included in the Touring package are the new Marrone Crete Senesi colour scheme, the elegant fairing and the dedicated plate.
The new Vespa Sprint is available in two versions: Vespa Sprint (with the 125 cc displacement engine) and Vespa Sprint S (with the 125 and 150 cc displacement engines), the latter characterised by an attractive Titanium Grey colour scheme with dedicated graphics and black painted rims. For Vespa Sprint 125 there are five colour schemes: Rosso Dragon, Nero Lucido, Montebianco, Giallo Positano and Blu Gaiola, all with a black saddle.
Wide range of accessories
As always in the history of Vespa, the new Primavera offers a wide range of accessories to customise your vehicle and improve riding comfort.
The Primavera top box is entirely painted in the same colour as the vehicle and enhanced by the famous chromed Vespa logo in relief and can hold a flip up helmet. The top box is also available with backrest. The chrome top box support bracket can also be used as a luggage rack.
Maximum protection is ensured by the chip-resistant, high quality, methacrylate windscreen, customised with the Vespa logo, the support rods have a clear finish in line with the other aesthetic details.
Vespa Primavera can also be fitted with a top fairing – available in both transparent and tinted material – that elegantly completes the vehicle’s design.
The chrome front and rear luggage racks with laser engraved Vespa logo are also one of the most classic accessories of every Vespa and testify the great traveller spirit that every Vespa has always possessed. The new Vespa Primavera is no exception. The front, rear and fender chromed perimeter guards add an elegant finishing touch to the vehicle.
The accessory line also includes the internal top box bag, the convenient side stand – in black painted steel – which makes easier to park the Primavera, and the outdoor vehicle cover, the indoor one with “big logo” and both with convenient openings to accommodate any accessories and the rubber mat.
Available for Vespa Primavera are the electronic anti-theft system and mechanical saddle-handlebar anti-theft system, as well as a range of other customisable mechanical anti-theft systems. Another must-have accessory is the practical and easy to install leg cover providing optimal protection against the weather, thanks to the use of thermal material. The Vespa Primavera cover is characterised by the metal Vespa logo and ensures maximum stability even at high speed. The saddle cover and anti-theft device are integrated in the accessory. The top box bag in natural or black leather and fully hand crafted adds a precious touch to the Vespa Primavera. The top box bag is able to hold a jet helmet with visor and can be mounted on the top box support of the luggage rack.
To make your Vespa even more unique, there are also genuine leather “Made in Italy” saddles and exclusive “Elegance” graphics available.
The range of accessories for the new Vespa Sprint is also original and plentiful. The 12″ wheels that shod the Sprint (the largest ever used by a Vespa “small body”) can be replaced with magnificent aluminium alloy wheel rims with black trim that further enhance the gritty and sporty nature of the new Vespa. In addition to the chromium plated perimeter guards and luggage racks, there are also versions in matt black that combine style and sportiness, in perfect harmony with the Vespa Sprint style. To enhance the image of your Vespa Sprint, the accessories range is completed by the black or matt grey steering cover, the single-seat saddle and the “Sport” graphics.
