Piaggio Vespa Lx 125
The Piaggio Vespa Lx 125 has a top speed of 95 km/h, produces 10.5 hp and weighs 113 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Vespa LX 125 a été présentée par Piaggio en 2005 en tant que réinterprétation moderne du style classique de la Vespa, alliant esthétique rétro et ingénierie contemporaine. Elle a remplacé la série ET et comportait une toute nouvelle carrosserie monocoque en acier avec une suspension mise à jour et un moteur à injection de carburant ajouté lors des itérations ultérieures. Le LX 125 est devenu l'un des scooters les plus vendus en Europe, célèbre pour son design italien emblématique, sa praticité et son accessibilité pour les nouveaux conducteurs.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Watch the Carb & Fuel
Older LX 125 carbureted models are prone to carburetor clogging if left sitting unused. Regular use and fresh fuel prevent most fuel system headaches.
Strong Resale Value
The Vespa LX 125 holds its value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, thanks to the iconic brand name and timeless styling. A well-maintained example can retain 60-70% of its value after 3-4 years.
Monocoque Steel Body
Unlike plastic-bodied competitors, the LX 125 features a full steel unibody frame that adds durability and a premium feel. However, inspect for rust around the floorboard and underbody if the scooter has lived in a wet climate.

"Superbe trottinette urbaine qui mérite son prix fort."
J'ai passé trois ans et presque 18 000 km à bord d'un LX 125 2008, principalement pour me déplacer en ville et pour me rendre sur la côte le week-end, et honnêtement, cela ne m'a jamais laissé bloqué une seule fois, ce qui en dit long. Le moteur quatre temps de 125 cm3 sort parfaitement de l'arrêt et se déplace confortablement à 80 km/h sur les routes à deux voies, mais lui demander de maintenir une pression de 90 pour tout étirement soutenu donne l'impression de fouetter un chien fatigué ; il y arrive à contrecœur. La qualité de conduite sur un asphalte accidenté est vraiment impressionnante pour un scooter à petites roues. Ces roues de 10 pouces à l'avant et de 11 pouces à l'arrière vous pénalisent généralement dans les rues pleines de nids-de-poule, mais le réglage de la suspension du LX est suffisamment indulgent pour que je ne m'en ressente que rarement. La qualité de fabrication est tout à fait excellente pour la catégorie, la carrosserie entièrement en acier et les espaces entre les panneaux serrés, mais le rangement sous le siège est une blague cruelle : un casque intégral ne convient tout simplement pas, et ça fait mal à ce prix.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Charming, dependable urban scooter that rewards careful buying and regular maintenance."
$2,000-$3,800 usedThe Vespa LX 125 is genuinely charming, and I mean that in the most practical sense possible. It's a proper Italian scooter — not a cheap clone — and that quality shows in the fit, finish, and the way it holds its value annoyingly well on the used market. The single-cylinder three-valve engine is smooth and reliable if it's been serviced properly, but that's your first homework assignment: check the service history religiously. Variator belts, rollers, and the automatic transmission components need regular attention or they'll bite you. Buy one from a commuter who kept it garaged and serviced it at a Piaggio dealer. Walk away from anything that lived outside or has mystery mods. Parts aren't cheap and independent mechanics sometimes struggle with them. That said, a clean 2014-2018 example in the $2,500-$3,500 range is genuinely good value — reliable transport with style that won't embarrass you. Just don't expect sportbike thrills; top speed is around 60mph and that's exactly where it lives comfortably.
