| Viva la scooter. In the fashion capital, Milan, the traffic situation would be unthinkable without the scooter. Right there, the new 125 will be presented by Vespa scooter |
Milan has in a population of about 1.3 million inhabitants is a scooter density that is 16 times higher than that of the two-million city of Vienna. Scooters are part of everyday life there, like the morning coffee in this country. All proceeds Scooter, and this very fact keeps the otherwise chaotic traffic going. So a good place for kleinrädrigen fellow, though the smooth paving stones are not necessarily two-wheel friendly. Despite this, or perhaps precisely why does the Italian two-wheeler Piaggio Group presents its products with preference in the Italian capital. This time it's the Vespa GTS 125 Super, which is taken from the Zweiradjournaille closely. These are in principle to the chassis of the GTS 300 Super, in which the little engine was planted.
Lawful, this time almost fully-utilized 15 HP also allow B bill to direct the Vespa riders. Technically, only the water pump on the engine has been changed, it is now powered by electricity. That is, according to the technician over the previously mechanically driven pump to save energy and thus fuel. Also, the mapping of the injection is new, here was also taken on greater efficiency. To the service intervals have been increased from 6,000 to 10,000 kilometers. This represents an increase of possible mileage between the workshop visits by at least 65%, and protects the Börsel and promotes confidence in the Italian art. Trustworthy is also the driving experience. Gone are the days when the Italian scooter unstable, shaky companion were on too small wheels. Twelve inch ensure good contact, the slightly harder set spring elements with the beautiful red feathers even bring something like sporting hardness in the scooter everyday. The bumpy streets of Milan you will quickly feel like home, even high above the street level projecting out rails or similar hardships quickly lose their terror.
The engine already at low revs enough power to compete with the much stronger road comrades can. To about 100 km / h you it is full, it will be rather tough. For urban operation, this is more than adequate on the highway, one should not necessarily lost. Very much has also worked on the brakes very often criticized. The stopper of the new Vespas deserve the name for some time to right, you will not only be faster slowly, but remains standing properly. ABS's, however, still do not know rounder will miss it too hard. Thanks to the large chassis is housed very comfortably, on a comparison driven "small" LX it comes to much more tightly. Even for two you can live quite well, the pillion seat is quite comfortable with the optional top case it's even a backrest. The equipment with the somewhat nostalgic-inspired appliances which neither a timer nor a fuel gauge is missing, in fact complete.
