At the Paris Salon de la Moto, open from 3 to 8 December, the new Vespa Primavera made its French début. Unveiled a month ago at the world press at the Milan 2013 EICMA show, the Vespa Primavera is now being marketed all over Europe and – following a presentation in Hanoi – in Vietnam and Asian countries as well. The first Vespa Primavera emerged in 1968. This was the year that witnessed a new awareness amongst the younger generation that suddenly wanted to yell for freedom. Nimble, innovative lines, sparkling performance, easy and fun to ride – 45 years ago Vespa Primavera was a breath of fresh air. Small and quick, it was to become one of the longest running and most beloved models in the history of Vespa, equally popular with guys and girls. Youthful, technologically groundbreaking and agile, with an eye to the protection of the environment, the new Vespa Primavera is the protagonist of its time, inheriting all the joy of life that go hand in hand with the story of a model that is a cult in the Vespa family tree. With a radically new design, a new body in steel, new sizes, still agile but even more stable and comfortable, Vespa Primavera is reborn – powered by the ultra modern and ecological 50cc, 125cc 3 valve and 150cc 3 valve engines – appropriating some of the stylistic and technical solutions of Vespa 946, the most prestigious and technologically advanced model ever conceived.
