Here are a few pics of a prototype of a Vespa GT60 and LX60 posted on the scooter bbs by Gianluca in Italy. Interesting. Haven't checked the BBS. I'm sure someone mentioned it there. That fenderlight won't fly in North America. I think The Yamaha BWS and the Piaggio Typhoon are pushing it with their headlight level.

Ok. I know these scooters will be probably be 4-strokes as all new Vespas are now.....but why prototypes? What is Vespa/Piaggio waiting for? Bring them over. They look great! Interesting headlight concepts. 60cc might be a tough market though. You won't be able to sell to a group with no motorcycle license which is why the 50cc sell very well in NA. Nevertheless, scooters like these belong on the road.

BTW, they are not 60cc, one is a 250 version of the GT, the other I imagine is a 50 or a 150 version of the LX. I read the 60 has to do with 60 yrs of Vespa

Dear Piaggio,
here's a new recipe to try
1 older looking body style (vbb/vbc) 1 newer 4 stroke motor
et voila!
gold.

Delia, Fenderlights are cool! Wheel covers? you mean front fender? Wheel covers are the thingys that cover the wheels on the tires of your car/truck....btw the wheels are probably made in India...... ;D Angelo

Couldn't imagine what market they would be targetting with a 60cc engine ;D Thanks for clarifying....or maybe not....now I want the 250cc GT ;D

Hey....I am no mechanic and have a hard time not calling everything "thingie", and I thought wheel cover was doing pretty well.....darn those Indian wheels.....
