Vespa returns with lots of attractive features
Vespa has been driving whole generations of young people for over 70 years.
LAHORE (Web Desk) - Piaggio’s Italian two-wheeler was the ultimate status symbol for Pakistani bike aficionados in the 1960s and 70s, when bicycles outstripped motorbikes on the roads and only a handful of people could afford to import luxury items from Europe.
Over the past two decades, motorbike ownership rates have skyrocketed in Pakistan, with locally assembled Chinese and Japanese bikes clogging up the roads in a country where much of the population is below 30 years old.
Vespa has been driving whole generations of young people for over 70 years and one of the most important models in this long story is certainly the Vespa Primavera.
Many long-term owners find that possessing a Vespa in Pakistan is a labour of love, with original spare parts scant and only a handful of mechanics skilled enough to restore the originals.
Originally launched in 1968, the legend has now retured with a totally new and future looking design. A full range of modern and efficient engines and a superior level collection of colours and combinations offer optimum choices for everyone’s needs.

PRICE:
One thing that will disappoint Vespa lovers is its price. The modern scooter is priced at Rs355,000 in the Pakistani market.
When spoke to a dealer, he said the main reason for high price is hefty duty imposed on this scooter. He said it is being directly imported from Italy, thus, 200% duty is being charged on one unit.
