Lambretta UK has announced the arrival of the new J125, a lightweight premium scooter combining the marque’s signature Italian styling with a modern 125cc powertrain and a comprehensive specification aimed at today’s commuter and leisure rider.
Positioned within the competitive learner-friendly 125cc segment, the J125 is powered by a 124.6cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-valve DOHC engine, producing 12.2hp and 11.5Nm of torque while complying with the latest Euro 5+ emissions regulations.
