Piaggio Vespa Lx 150
The Piaggio Vespa Lx 150 has a top speed of 100 km/h, produces 10.7 hp and weighs 115 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Vespa LX 150 a été présentée par Piaggio en 2005 en tant que successeur modernisé de la série ET classique, alliant style rétro et technologie de pointe. Elle est devenue l'un des modèles Vespa les plus vendus au monde en raison de son prix abordable, de ses performances urbaines pratiques et de son héritage de design emblématique datant de 1946. Le LX 150 a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à jour vers 2009-2010 avec un moteur à 3 soupapes raffiné, améliorant ainsi le rendement énergétique et la conformité en matière d'émissions.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Watch the Carb & Fuel
The LX 150 carburetor is prone to gumming up if the scooter sits unused for extended periods. Always use fresh fuel and consider a fuel stabilizer if storing it seasonally.
Strong Resale Value
Vespa LX 150s hold their value exceptionally well compared to other scooters, often retaining 60-70% of their value after 3-4 years due to the iconic brand reputation.
Reliable Single-Cylinder Engine
The 150cc 4-stroke engine is known for long-term durability with proper maintenance, easily reaching 20,000+ miles. Regular valve clearance checks are key to keeping it running smoothly.

"Style et âme, mais les autoroutes vous rendront humble."
J'ai parcouru près de 8 000 km sur un LX 150 2008 en passant par Rome et plus tard Melbourne, et honnêtement, ce scooter récompense la patience et punit l'ambition. En ville, c'est vraiment génial : la monocoque en acier donne l'impression d'être plantée, la CVT est suffisamment souple pour qu'on n'y pense plus, et cette silhouette classique de Vespa attire toujours les têtes comme aucun scooter japonais en plastique ne pourra jamais le faire. Mais si vous le poussez à 90 km/h sur une route ouverte, vous sentirez chacun de ces 9,6 chevaux se battre contre le vent ; rejoignez une autoroute avec des camions et vous découvrirez rapidement la religion. L'espace de rangement situé sous le siège ne permet d'accueillir qu'un demi-casque, la suspension n'absorbe rien à part les nids-de-poule de taille moyenne, et les premiers modèles à carburateur sont riches à froid, mais allumez-le dans une rue pavée un mardi matin et rien de tout cela n'a vraiment d'importance.
Pros
Les inconvénients
Mis à jour pour répondre aux émissions Euro 3, système d'injection de carburant raffiné, améliorations mineures de l'esthétique et du confort.
Conformité à la norme Euro 4, gestion du moteur mise à jour, réglage révisé de la suspension, tableau de bord modernisé.
Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Charming Italian city scooter that rewards careful pre-purchase inspection."
$1,800-$3,500 usedLook, the Vespa LX 150 isn't a motorcycle — it's a scooter with serious Italian attitude, and you need to respect that distinction before handing over cash. What you're getting is a genuinely charming city tool with a punchy enough 150cc four-stroke to keep pace with urban traffic. The build quality stomps all over Chinese alternatives, and that monocoque steel body actually holds up remarkably well used. Find one with under 8,000 miles and it'll likely have plenty of life left. That said, go in with eyes open. The CVT transmission is basically a black box — if the previous owner skipped belt and roller inspections, budget $200-300 immediately. Check the front drum brake on older examples; they're adequate but need adjustment regularly. Rust around the floorboard edges is common in wet climates, purely cosmetic but annoying. Parts aren't cheap compared to Japanese rivals, and finding an independent Vespa-knowledgeable mechanic outside major cities can genuinely test your patience.
