2009 Vespa S 150 (Canada/USA/Europe)

The style of the Vespa S

Sporty, dynamic and young, the Vespa S stands out for its clean, essential and minimalist lines in the new 150 cc version too. The handlebar fairing houses a rectangular headlight. This is a clear reference to the amazing 50 Special that was the style icon of teenagers throughout the fabulous 1970s. The mudguard is minimised to draw attention to the suspension and features a chrome trim for an even sleeker look. The mudguard's limited dimensions emphasise the finish of the light alloy front wheel, a tribute to the performance of the Vespa S and its high-tech design. Even the seat reminds you of typical 70's styling. The 'touring' seat that comes as standard on the 150 provides more room and comfort for rider and passenger. Hardened 'sportsters' can nevertheless still fit an (optional) 'sport' solo seat with the inimitable Vespa banana shape. Both seats are upholstered in new materials and decorated with a light trim to emphasise their outlines.

The new Vespa S 150 is equipped with a modern, ecological, air cooled four stroke engine characterised by excellent performance, low running costs and full compliance with the strict Euro 3 emission control standards. Thanks to this new power plant, the Vespa S 150 is perfectly at home commuting and out of town. Maximum power of over 12 HP and a maximum torque of 11.8 Nm at 6,500 rpm mean quick, safe overtaking and a satisfying, easy ride even with a passenger. The mechanical components of the new engine have been optimised to reduce maintenance requirements and extend service intervals. The Vespa S is equipped with an eco-friendly, four-stroke 150cc engine. The 11" front wheel gives the Vespa S great stability, inspiring the rider with a feeling of confidence and control. The tires are tubeless, size 110/70 on the front and 120/70 on the 10" rear. The braking system features a 200 mm stainless steel front disc with a two piston caliper and a 110 mm rear drum
