Positioned in Vespa's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Vespa Zafferano 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant.
On the scales, the Zafferano 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. The 8.6-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
