Vespa celebrated 60 years in operation in 2005 and to commemorate the anniversary, Vespa introduced a new model, LX. The Vespa LX went on sale from March 2005, replacing the Vespa ET series. One of its key selling points was a Vespa tradition, a Vespa Girl complementing the new machine.
The LX has four different engines, all high-tech and Euro 2 compatible, ranging from a powerful 50cc two-stroke and a 50cc four-stroke to a 125 and 150cc four-stroke.
