Best ForThis is an ideal machine for new riders or anyone wanting simple, low-stakes transportation without a steep learning curve.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light weight make it easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterIt has a classic, stylish Vespa personality that favors charm and everyday practicality over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForIt's not suitable for highway touring, carrying a passenger any real distance, or riders craving performance and power.

2013 Vespa LXV 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Vespa LXV 125, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
