With its minimalist but decisive styling, the Vespa S features the same dynamism and freshness that made the Vespa the favourite scooter of young people in the roaring seventies. It comes in a choice of three attractive colour schemes, all selected to emphasise its sporty, lightweight design: Dragon Red, Shiny Black and Montebianco White, all of which the graphic kits are designed to complement.

Vespa, world-renowned as a scooter design icon, has now created a range of Seventies-styled helmets to match their new S 125 retro scooter. The Europe helmet is produced in three eye-catching designs that are evocative of the decade; the Union Jack plus two classic roundel styles, one the RAF-style, (perhaps scooter-wise forever associated with The Who), and the other in the Italian Tricolour design.

Vespa has created a range of Seventies-styled helmets to match their new S 125 retro scooter. The Europe helmet is produced in three eye-catching designs that are evocative of the decade that began with the excitement of Apollo13 and embraced style icons including the Vespa 50 Special scooter, Star Wars and T-Rex. The shell is manufactured from lightweight ABS material and weighs less than 1 KG, so is comfortable to wear and easy to carry. It is designed to fit into the storage compartments beneath the seats of Vespa scooters and its compact size means that it can be accommodated by many other makes too.

The Italians know a thing or two about making stylish bags (think Gucci or Prada) and Vespa have designed a top case inner bag for owners of the 200cc GT and 250cc GTS models.
