History [ edit ]The Vespa PX was first presented in 1977 in Milan as the nuova linea model (new line). It was distributed as Vespa P 125 X and as Vespa P 200 E with an electronic ignition (E for Elettronica) and since 1978 as Vespa P 150 X. This electronic ignition was introduced to the other models, which then were called Vespa PX125E and Vespa PX150E, and in 1982 the Vespa P 200 E was called Vespa PX200E. This was marketed as the Vespa PX 125 T5 Classic. Production of the PX ended in early 2017 as the PX engine failed to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements.

One of the best-loved models was the Vespa 150 GS introduced in 1955 with a 150 cc engine, a long saddle, and the faired handlebar-headlamp unit. These were available in the US in 50 cc and 150 cc versions, while Europeans could choose a 50 cc, 125 cc and 150 cc.
