Visordown have just posted a review. Have to admit that I haven't read it through because I don't really have much interest in Vespas myself.

However. This little 125 gets ABS. And that is officially A GOOD THING.

Mind you, it still has drum brake rear so they still have a way to go before they fully embrace the 21st century.

I saw it on Scooter Station, looks very like the Primavera.
Very pretty but hopelessly impractical.

Sex over 40, alcohol, bungie jumping, smelling your own farts.. neither practical, but fun.

That's because it is a Primavera.

With a different headlight.
Which is enough to class as a different model in Vespaland.

Nothing new in Piaggio's thinking.....

The Vespa S was an LX with a funky seat and a different headlamp

The Sprint gets a different headlamp, some different colourways and a red shocker spring, they're gettingnearly as bad as Peugeot who renamed the Speedfight models every time it had a new graphics package

My 2013 Piaggio Fly 125 3v has a rear disk, however the latest 2014 version has reverted back to a drum! Cost cutting along with unpainted interior handle bar and leg shield cover, grab rail unpainted, wheels not coated and no side stand and wanting £200 more.
