Vespa has launched new versions of its Primavera and Sprint series. The headline change is a larger 180cc engine that boosts performance. Continuing the tradition of a steel body, these popular scooters have been refreshed for a new generation with a punchier ride courtesy of the displacement bump.

The Primavera and Sprint moving up to 180cc is, quietly, a big update as far as I'm concerned. Bumping displacement up from 125/150 completely changes low-end torque and cruising comfort. I'm itching to see how they tuned the engine character to handle the weight of that steel body, and how the numbers stack up against the old model.

What did you think?

So the announcement article and the launch article come out in separate stages like this.

How much upgrade demand from 150cc model owners are they actually expecting?

Feels like the rollout is aimed more at attracting new riders than upgrade purchases from existing owners.

Keeping the steel-body tradition while updating the internals feels like a very Vespa sense of balance.

With the bump to 180cc, how it hits the price is probably the biggest concern for users.
