25 years of the Vespa T5

Piaggio Vespa T5 125cc

Piaggio Vespa T5 125ccCongratulations Vespa T5 for the 25th birthday!

- the motor with five overcurrents (Traversi5) like from the two-stroke picture book,
- comfortable seating position for driver and front passenger,
- a small disc that cleverly bypasses wind turbulence past the helmet,
- a tachometer that scientifically substantiates the engine orgies,
- black spoiler under the leg shield
- and racing driver Nelson Piquet as pole position representative.

Nobody can say that in 1986 Piaggio did not go to great lengths to equip their newest racehorse in the stable.
Due to the unfortunate driving license requirements and the modern look, the reaction in Germany was rather restrained. The wild teenagers had their driving license limited to 80ccm and tormented their way through life with the brave but lame PX 80, and for the older guys the virile character and sporty look of the five were probably a bit too modern.
In Great Britain and Italy, due to other legal provisions, a real boom set in.
But the T5 has also made the leap to a classic here in Germany. Not least because of their great engine characteristics. 12HP from 125ccm made and let larger displacement Vesps quickly look old, and that with a unique driving experience, thanks to the turbine-like speed.
The T5 and its engine have become indispensable for trips out, club rallies, meetings, or hidden in strange clothes on the racetracks.

Due to many imports from Italy, Spain and Great Britain you can see more T5 scooters on our streets today than in the 80s. Should you stumble across a good specimen, don't hesitate and strike.
