2012 Vespa S 50 4V Sport[edit | edit source]

The 2012 MY Vespa S 50 4V Sport has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 49cc, single cylinder Hi-PER4 lump mated to a continuous variable transmission (CVT). As its bigger displacement siblings, it has been designed to fit the particular needs of those riders who want the classic Vespa design, but with modern, aggressive visuals as well as performance. Sport decals and badges, black-finished alloy wheels, as well as a racing red spring in the front suspension system makes it one of the most sought after 50cc machines among Vespa fans, and not only.
