Vespa have joined hands with (RED) in an effort to fight against HIV. (RED) is an organisation that was founded in 2006 and has raised more than $450 million for the Global Fund to help people ailing from tuberculosis, AIDS, and malaria. They contribute almost 50 per cent of their profit from such products towards the Global Fund, one of the most recent examples being the iPhone 7 Red.

Globally, the Vespa 946 is offered in a fully-red variant and $150 is donated for each vehicle sold.

Since the Vespa 946 Emporio Armani was priced close to Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) during its launch earlier this year, we won’t be seeing the (Vespa 946) RED in India. Instead, Piaggio have revealed that they will launch the VXL variants of both 125-cc and 150-cc scooters in a fully-red avatar.

The launch is set for 3 October. Watch this space for more details.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
