At the heart of the 2009 Vespa LXV 125 scooter motorcycle, Vespa relies on a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the LXV 125 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
Within MotoLibrary's Vespa archive, this model family spans 3 indexed model years from 2007 to 2013, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
