User Reviews of Vespa Notte

I bought a used vespa notte and not a new one as I'm moving abroad in august 2021, and I just needed a scooter for daily and weekly errands. I'll be giving this scooter to my friend once I leave India. I got it for cheap, only cost me 50k which is almost half of it's current price. It's an amazing scooter, definitely a head turner. 9 times out of 10, people will look at it and stare at the elegant Italian design. I was waiting for the primavera to be launched in India, but it's too late now so I decided to get this one. Service experience was fairly good, cost isn't too high to maintain as others say (maybe that's because there are 2-3 service centers within 20 km from my place) The position of sitting is amazing and convenient for people of all heights. Generic scooters like activa / Jupiter have a low seat-to-floor height. Vespa and aprilia have a longer seat-to-floor height which is much more comfortable and does not feel like you are crouching on the scooter. Ride quality and build quality are superb. The scooter feels absolutely premium, as if it's the Ferrari of scooters. Acceleration is quite good even though its 125cc, although the suspension can get wobbly sometimes and feel like you're about to fall off if you take on bumps at a high speed. But it's really reliable Brakes lack any bite at all, you will never feel the brakes being applied on this scooter. It's almost an advantage as much as it is a disadvantage. Whenever I apply the rear brakes, it is an ultra-smooth reduction of speed and I feel absolutely nothing unlike other scooters that give jerks when you brake. Front brakes have some bite to them but still are very very smooth. Be careful, smooth brakes aren't always an advantage, they can lead to an accident. I do frequent oil changes and tyre's pressure checks and use Indian oil Xtra premium petrol which gives me a mileage of about 42-50 km/l. Probably higher on highways. Friends have suggested to use shell petrol for even more mileage and smooth combustion. All in all, it is the perfect package for a scooter. It has the best styling - retro look which is much better than the wacky straight lines of generic scooters. It has a very premium feel to it. It is a legacy. The vespa badge is one of the most renowned and famous badges in the world Go for it, you will own a piece of Italian legacy.
