We will discuss Vespa which is younger than Congo Vespa, Super Vespa. This Super Vespa was first produced from 1966 to 1978. This model became one of the most popular models in the World.
Vespa travels from year to year
The first generation Vespa Super was present in 1966 and 1972-1973. Little thing that distinguishes this bike is the use of accessories in the Vespa tie. The 1966 model uses the P (Piaggio) logo, while the 1972 model uses the Chung logo which is more like the US on the card.
In 1974, the second generation of Vespa Super was born. This model applies a lightbox with a slightly forward model. This design is considered a more modern design. The engine uses the same engine as the previous generation of 125 CC and 150 CC.
Two years later in 1976, the third generation Super Vespa was born. This model uses a larger ‘pendulum’ on a machine capable of boosting performance. You could say the engine in the third generation is better than the two previous types.
The fourth-generation was born in 1980 under the name CDI Limited Edition. Super Vespa this year already uses CDI ignition with ignition located on the top of the head.
Entering the millennium era, the Vespa was transformed by regenerating the legend. It comes with a much more modern design, engine, and features. This reincarnation came in 2008 under the name Vespa GTS 300 Super. Vespa tries to rebuild the story through a modern touch on the Super body.
Vespa GTS 300 Super comes with a better design language while maintaining the characteristics of the Super. One of them is the body on the right that has a hole like a classic Vespa. The design that is often called the tie and the middle body is also made to resemble a classic model.
Until this year, Vespa continues to refresh motorcycles that have stories for Vespa lovers. What do you feel like?
