Vespa Primavera 50th Anniversary
Piaggio also revealed a special 50th Anniversary Edition of the Vespa Primavera. Shown alongside an original Primavera, the 50th edition is available in matt brown and gloss blue.
Vespa GTS Notte
This little black number might not be what die-hard GTS fans really wanted but the Vespa Notte GTS looks quite mean. De-chromed and blacked out detailing make all the difference. Special editions are ok but they’re not really what we were hoping to see fro Vespa at EICMA.
Vespa GTS Yacht Club
We all know the first rule about Yacht Club right? So we’re not going to talk about it but here’s another special edition Vespa GTS… If you want something a little smaller you can have a special edition Vespa Primavera Dinghy Club. Whatever floats your boat. Nautical but is it nice?
Peugeot Django
The ever popular Peugeot Django is sporting new colours in Milan, it’s a scooter that is slowly beginning to gather its own niche market and loyal group of riders. It may not be as popular as the Scomadi but it’s a grower for sure.
Royal Alloy
The much anticipated Royal Alloy scooters finally broke cover at EICMA with various models on display including the Grand Prix 200, a liquid-cooled four stroke complete with familar legshield badge. SX style sidepanels are ‘in’ this autumn.
The RA Relax 125/150 is a model with turning front mudguard and altogether different styling to the other RA models. It’s Euro 4 and also has an integrated front legshield toolbox. You can view more photos in the gallery below.
Lambretta
They said it’d never happen but it has. An historic, coveted name from the past, born again. No doubt it will see many scooter boys and girls squirming at the very thought of it, whilst others will be happy to ride a new scooter with the familiar badge.
Two models of the V-Special will arrive in March 2018 (after preview models arrive in dealers in February), one with a familiar Lambretta fixed mudguard and another with a turning mudguard. Prices are set for Europe at €2799 for the V50 Special, the V125 Special will follow at €3399, and V200 Special at €3999. Other models, incldng a Sport version, larger capacity and electric versions are already being developed. See more images in the gallery below.

Piaggio doing the usual show a new paint scheme at EICMA, they are sloth like with developing anything new 🙁
Yawn! Ho hum…the usual Piaggio stickers and paintjob effort.
I ride bikes too and at EICMA 2017 the choice of new retro rides being showcased from a wealth of manufacturers is fantastic.
Royal Enfield have upped their game with a new, quality 650cc retro, Indian have launched a retro scrambler and Kawasaki have revisited their history and have offered a new heritage cafe racer styled roadster. All these manufacturers bending metal to fashion new truly retro machines not just paint and stickers or giving heritage names to modern looking machines…now that is “Falso storico” Mr Colannino!
Why can’t Piaggio drop their “falso storico” BS and make a truly retro looking metal bodied scoot with all the modern bells and whistles. I like the Primavera and GTS but they ain’t it.
Long time Vespa customer (23 in 35 years) but going over to Scomadi metal bodied TT 200 if we ever get them here.
3/10 Piaggio 🙁
Just noticed but is the RA Relax suspiciously a dead ringer for the Lambretta Vendetta or is it my imagination?
Another example of Clone War badge engineering? How is this allowed to happen? Why don’t the Italian customs and excise remove them?
Chinese state sponsored economic warfare and impotence of international intellectual property rights? Bah! 🙁
its just your imagination
Don’t think soooo… it’s definitely a copy. Look the bleeding same Tim.
Yes just my imagination….of course….now where did I put my copy of 1984? 🙁
