Official Vespa distributor Naza Premira Sdn. Bhd. launched the Vespa Notte Sprint 150 i-Get ABS and Vespa Notte GTS Super 300 ABS today, in conjunction with Valentine’s Day.

“Notte” stands for “night” in Italian, hence both models were treated to black/black finishing. The black theme even applies to the classic “tie” shield at the front and mirrors. Also blacked out are the front shield, handlebar ends, passenger grab handle and retractable passenger footpegs on the GT Super 300 ABS. Other details exclusive to the Notte are the seats, glossy black rims and muffler guard.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
