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.
A Vespa LX 125 foi introduzida pela Piaggio em 2005 como uma reinterpretação moderna do estilo clássico da Vespa, combinando estética retrô com engenharia contemporânea. Ele substituiu a série ET e apresentou um corpo monocoque de aço totalmente novo com suspensão atualizada e um motor com injeção de combustível adicionado em iterações posteriores. A LX 125 se tornou uma das scooters mais vendidas na Europa, famosa por seu icônico design italiano, praticidade e acessibilidade para novos pilotos.

O que os compradores devem saber
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.

"Linda scooter urbana que ganha seu preço premium."
Passei três anos e quase 18.000 km em um LX 125 2008, principalmente viajando pela cidade com ocasionais corridas de fim de semana até a costa, e a verdade é que isso nunca me deixou preso — o que diz muito. O motor de quatro tempos de 125 cc sai perfeitamente da paralisação e fica confortavelmente a 80 km/h em faixas de rodagem dupla, embora pedir que segure 90 em qualquer alongamento prolongado pareça que você está açoitando um cachorro cansado; ele chega lá, com relutância. A qualidade de condução em asfalto quebrado é realmente impressionante para uma scooter de rodas pequenas — essas rodas dianteiras de 10 polegadas e traseiras de 11 polegadas geralmente punem você em ruas esburacadas da cidade, mas o ajuste da suspensão do LX é tolerante o suficiente para que eu raramente fique tenso. A qualidade de construção é legitimamente excelente para a classe, toda carroceria de aço e aberturas apertadas no painel, mas o armazenamento embaixo do assento é uma piada cruel: um capacete integral simplesmente não serve e custa muito.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"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.
