Get a Vespa Helmet on your Head

Vespa’s new VJ and VJ1 Helmets offer the best of both worlds – modern features and materials wrapped up in traditional open-face styling.

Ideal for urban use, the new helmets feature a demi-jet design for all-round vision on congested streets in towns and cities, and are compact enough to fit inside the under-seat storage compartments on most scooters, as well as in top boxes and side cases.

Unlike many traditional open face lids, both the VJ and VJ1 feature a retractable sun visor. The VJ also comes with a full-length clear external visor as standard for added protection against the weather, dust and dirt thrown up from busy roads.

Safety is taken care of by a strong and lightweight ABS shell, fully approved to the current ECE2205 safety standard. Both the VJ and VJ1 are held firmly in place by a micro-adjustable seatbelt-style strap and fastener. This is quick-release system, so there’s no fiddling around when your destination is reached.

A breathable textile lining keeps the rider comfortable and cool in the heat of the city, and it’s removable and washable.

Finished with a stylish chrome rim and a subtle Vespa logo on the front, both the VJ and VJ1 will look the part on any retro ride.

The VJ comes in sizes XS to XL; in Black, White, Grey and Red and sells for £129.99. The VJ1 also comes in XS-XL; in Black, White and Blue and retails at £115.99.

Round-up your essentials with new Vespa Bags

Vespa’s new Round Bags are inspired by the spare wheel covers, which were frequently fitted to their scooters in the 1970s.

Designed so that they can be hung on the scooter’s bag hook while riding, these circular bags have a 35 cm diameter and are 12 cm deep (approximately 14” x 5”), a suitable size for everyday items such as sunglasses, wallet/purse, mobile phone or tablet.

Made from water resistant leatherette and closed with a self-sealing zip, contents are protected from the elements.

Celebrating Vespa’s world-wide appeal, Round Bags are available in Italian, English, French, American and Brazilian flag designs. Black and Black/Fluro versions are also available.

Prices for Vespa Round Bags start at £64.98 including VAT and they are available from Piaggio dealers nationwide. Alternatively call 0117 972 5552 or visit: www.uk.vespa.com

Sprint down to Vespa for your accessories

Vespa has introduced a couple of classy classic leather accessories for its new small-bodied Sprint 125 scooter.

Hand-made in Italy from high quality genuine cowhide and shaped in the same style as the sport design seat, the Leather Saddle adds a touch of class and enhances the traditional look of the new Sprint, which was inspired by the sporty Vespas of the 1960s and ’70s. Designed specifically to fit the Sprint, it is treated with natural wax for protection against aging and weather. Available in a choice of black or brown, it sells for £449.99.

Complementing the saddle is a genuine leather Top Bag, which is large enough to carry an open face helmet. Like the saddle, it is treated to be hard-wearing and resist the elements and is produced in either in brown or black to match. Supplied with a shoulder strap, so it is easy to carry when off the scooter, this versatile accessory will not look out of place in high-class establishments around the world. The retail price is £313.19 and the Top Bag fits quickly and easily on the chrome-plated Top Box support (£77.99), or on the Chrome Front and Rear Folding Luggage Racks (£139.99 / £124.98).
