At the heart of the 2007 Vespa LX50 scooter motorcycle, Vespa utilizes a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches).
On the scales, the LX50 measures 96 kg (212 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around 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.
