Piaggio Vespa 125 V1T “Bacchetta”, 1948, Italy\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the 1948<\/strong>\u00a0Vespa 125 <\/strong>we can start talking about a true \u201cboom\u201d. The public is no longer skeptical as during the first presentation in 1946<\/strong>. The 125cc is also more advanced than the previous model.
\nThe comfort<\/strong> is way better thanks to the spring<\/strong> suspensions<\/strong> on both wheels. A damper is still lacking but compared to the 98<\/strong> the driving experience improved considerably. Performance also improved, with a faster acceleration and a top speed of 70<\/strong> kph<\/strong>.
\nThis 1948<\/strong> Vespa 125 V1T <\/strong>is also known as “<\/strong>Bacchetta”<\/strong> (“Rod<\/em>“) because of the external rods that control the gearbox.<\/p>\n

At the Museo an iconic exhibition was dedicated to the Vespa for its 70th<\/sup> anniversary: \u201cExhibition Vespa\u00a070 anni x 70 modelli<\/a>\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
