Vespa is Back

March 26, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Italian scooter giant to make their official entry next month

Vespa, the whooly-owned subsidiary of Piaggio & Co. S.p.A., is back in India and this time they are flying solo. The Italian company, as much a global fashion trendsetter as it is a scooter manufacturer, is no stranger to the Indian two-wheeler market, having had a highly successful joint venture with LML from 1984 until its abrupt end in 1989.

 

Piaggio Group President, Mr. Matteo Colaninno, will be commercially launching Vespa in its new avatar in Mumbai on 26th April, 2012. This will be followed by the plant inauguration at Baramati, on the outskirts of Pune. We reckon their first offering will be the trendy LX 125 scooter displayed at the Auto Expo this year, aimed at young and fashion conscious college-goers. All we can say is, welcome back, Vespa.

March 26, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

The Indian outfit made their Italian championship debut with a win

Mahindra Racing made their Italian motorcycle road racing championship debut at the Mugello circuit

by winning the first race in the 125 GP class. The team’s Italian rider Riccardo Moretti secured pole

position on Saturday with a lap-time of 2:01.413, giving the team a positive start. Meanwhile, his team-

mate, India’s Sarath Kumar qualified 22nd on the combined grid of the 125GP and Moto3 classes.

 

In the race, Moretti was in the lead from start and built a gap of over 16 seconds by the end to cross the

finish-line first. Kumar, on the other hand, managed to move up one place by the ninth lap but had to

retire from the race on the next due to a mechanical failure in his bike.

 

Next round of the championship will be held between April 6-8 at the Imola circuit.
