VESPA

Vespa 946

The Vespa 946 is a window on future trends in style and technology .

At EICMA 2011 the Vespa 946 unveils a possible future with a tribute to the MP6, the original prototype and progenitor of the world’s most famous scooter, an unsurpassed example of Italian style and creativity. By distilling the essence of a scooter that changed the style of individual mobility forever and enhancing the lines that secured its success, the Pontedera Style Centre has projected the Vespa into a possible future where references and projections, tradition and innovation, merge seamlessly. The vibrant heart of the Vespa 946 is a state-of-the-art engine that paves the way for forthcoming advances, with low fuel consumption and minimal exhaust and noise emissions.

 

MOTO GUZZI

V7 - V7 Special - V7 Racer

The new Moto Guzzi V7 is now available in three models, two tourers and a racer: the V7 (a classic motorcycle), the V7 Special (for upmarket tourism and speed enthusiasts) and the V7 Racer (the highly advanced racing version). Three new bikes delivering greater power and speed, but all based on the fully re-engineered 90° V-twin engine, with cardan-shaft transmission and double cradle frame.

Nevada

The new Moto Guzzi Nevada, powered by the new 750 two-cylinder, is a unique bike that retains the characteristic custom design with low saddle and wide handlebars, but features a less laid-back riding position for greater control. With its more dynamic sporty style, the Nevada Anniversario has an eye-catching contemporary look to give the Mandello sport custom bike an even brawnier and more rebellious personality.

A new Moto Guzzi engine

The Guzzi 750 two-cylinder on the new V7 and Nevada series has been fully re-engineered. Power and torque have been boosted, fuel consumption and emissions have been reduced, riding pleasure has been enhanced. Compared with the previous engine, the new single-feed model provides more than 10% extra power and, above all, torque, with further reductions in fuel consumption and emissions.

With the Beverly SportTouring, Piaggio’s best-selling high-wheel range has been enhanced with a sport model. A completely new 350 engine, a 150/70 rear tyre and a new look, for an evolution of the species that extends the class and elegance of the Beverly into the sport segment. The Beverly SportTouring is the first Piaggio model to feature the brand new engine with maximum power of more than 33 hp: designed and produced to deliver performance on a par with a 400cc but with the weight, volumes, emissions and running costs of a more compact 300cc.

The Piaggio Fly has now undergone a full restyling, for an elegant look offering new safety features that would not be out of place on a larger scooter. Initially available in a 50 cc, 4-stroke, 4V version (to be joined by 125 and 150 cc models), the new Piaggio Fly is a multipurpose, multi-faceted two-wheeler for every urban environment, from the daily commute to school or work to leisure time with friends in the city’s trendiest meeting places.

 

APRILIA

SRV 850

The Aprilia SRV 850 is equipped with the first and only 850cc 90° V twin-cylinder scooter engine, capable of a maximum power of 76 hp and maximum torque of 76.5 Nm, numbers that put the new SRV 850 at the top of its class. Its style is a clear reference to the Aprilia superbike world. In the look of the new SRV 850, devotees will immediately recognise the stylistic standards that have helped make Aprilia a benchmark in world competitive motorcycling.

SR Motard

For younger riders, the Aprilia SR Motard scooter adds enjoyment and a sporty style to the daily commute, with a sparkling 2-stroke 50cc and a robust 4-stroke 125cc. The Aprilia SR Motard has the aggressive, essential and compact personality of a supermoto, the bike that stands for fun in its purest form. Thrust, acceleration, pick-up, agility in traffic and braking are the “weapons” of the Aprilia SR Motard, a scooter enabling younger riders to lead the way every day on the city streets.
