When you are called upon to write the review of a product, it is essential to provide relevant, accurate and inviting information that tickles the reader's attention. You have to report figures, rely on well-built charts and tables, prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are talking about the best on the market: product of the year, of the decade, of the century! Unprecedented sensationalism, in short. In this brief account we will not offer any quantifiable data on the VESPA LXV 125. Costs, consumption, performance and cutting-edge technology are already available here so it certainly won't be us filling your head with details, clarifications and trivia. We are here to tell you about something quite different. About emotions more than performance, about sensations more than consumption and about thrills more than engine displacement.

Do you want a clearer idea? Follow the video at this link and we are ready right now to bet that no further descriptions will be needed… safe travels… And welcome back. How was it? The feeling that a ride on a Vespa can offer is astonishing. You have the city flowing like a river, at your feet. You overtake the city centre without obstacles, you are not even brushed by the traffic jams, the delays, the waits in line for that traffic light or that clogged junction. And above all, the Sun. A warm friend who rides out on the Vespa with you, accompanies you and lets you discover the city as you had never seen it before, perhaps too busy as you were driving in the bustle of rush hour or squeezed like a sardine in the usual crowded tram.
Where can all this Sun be found in Zurich? A more than legitimate question. In the cold months the climate is not always favourable, and the sun rarely appears. But in the saddle of a Vespa, whether it be summer or autumn, rest assured, the Sun bursts inside you. And that Sun gives its warmth and all its luminous emotions without necessarily having to break through the clouds in the warm months. It is the warm climate of Rome, which you cross from the Trevi Fountain to the Imperial Forums on a placid Roman afternoon; it is the Salento seafront, brilliant white beaches and a splendid sea, sunglasses and wind in your face towards a blazing sunset; and it is also in Zurich, along the rivers or through the history of the city centre, along the lake or down the wide avenues carpeted with autumn. This is Vespa. Ever since, almost seventy years ago, the factory was born from the rubble of the post-Second World War period, Vespa has been journey, movement, change, growth, rebellion, evolution, improvement. A vehicle born out of necessity and turned into a point of reference, generation after generation, model after model, decade after decade. To the point of embodying a message, a mentality and a lifestyle: sweatshirts, sunglasses, elegant or sporty bags, accessories and unique customisations. And that trademark which guarantees quality in step with the times: the embossed, slightly slanted, chrome lettering on the body. Vespa.
