2012 Vespa Touring Special Edition
Style and comfort in timeless lines:
the Vespa Touring versions are inspired by the legend
of touring on a Vespa.
The Touring Special Edition, available for the mighty
Vespa GTS as well as for the svelte Vespa LX, draws
inspiration from the thousands of specially equipped
Vespas for touring that have taken entire generations
on road trips all over the world. This is a range
dedicated to the love for touring, with a proper mix
between unmistakeable Vespa style and the practicality
of a vehicle which can leave the city limits behind
and set out on medium range touring.
The “Touring” badge proudly flaunted
on the shield back plate alongside the glove box identifies
the new Special Edition and accentuates the sophistication
and elegance of the Vespa LX and Vespa GTS.
Vespa GTS Touring 300, in the elegant “Marrone
Terra di Toscana” colouring, presents itself
as the Vespa for medium range touring thanks to its
state of the art single cylinder 300 cc electronic
injection engine which is characterised by a power
of 22 HP and its high level of torque (22.3 Nm) reached
at low rpms. On the road, these numbers translate
into great flexibility and low speed pick-up that
are always able to guarantee silky smooth and easy
riding.
The GTS Touring's single cylinder engine is extremely
environmentally friendly, fully complying with the
strictest emissions regulations thanks to the catalytic
converter system and the advanced SAS secondary air
system in addition to the state of the art global
design.
The finishings of the Touring Special Edition are
designed to enhance the Vespa line: the standard chrome
finish luggage racks on the front and back ends, increase
the load capacity of the vehicle quite considerably;
the rounded transparent headlight fairing embraces
the Vespa's eye with a touch of style and increased
protection for the rider. The new saddle with new
design thermobonding complements the vehicle thanks
to colour-coding with the body colour.
A design element which further enhances the refined
style of this Vespa is the colouring of the side plastic
panels which embrace the lower part of the vehicle,
colour-coded with the bodyshell in Marrone Terra di
Toscana.
Vespa LX Touring comes equipped with 50 2-stroke
and 4-stroke, 125 and 150 cc 4-stroke engines (all
approved in accordance with the strictest emissions
standards) in order to offer brilliance and agility
in every day city travel, as well as allowing quick
and safe trips. Dedicated to those who love freedom
and want to escape the city commute, the Vespa LX
Touring is also dressed in the exclusive Marrone Terra
di Toscana colour and comes equipped standard with
the convenient side stand which allows quick stops
with minimum effort. The new, enriched saddle with
matching thermobonding and colouring gives the vehicle
a further touch of elegance. The Vespa LX Touring
also comes standard with chromium plated front and
rear luggage racks.
