2009 Vespa LX 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2009 Vespa LX 125 scooter motorcycle, Vespa features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 62.5 x 48.5 mm (2.5 x 1.9 inches).

On the scales, the LX 125 measures 100 kg (220 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.6-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
