The Vespa S125’s arrival is something many of the brand’s fans and purists have welcomed with great fan fare. This being a ‘sporty’ model, the S125 slots below the 155cc-powered Sprint and shares a similar outlook as well, most notable being its square headlamp shape.

This is a new generation Vespa model so it gets treated with the brand’s modern new front fascia that features a new mask with a ‘tie’. Matching that and the square headlamp are the prominent mudguard design and saddle profile, as well as the red-painted shock absorbers and retro-styled instrument panel with chrome surrounds.
