Piaggio Vespa

-
The Italian automaker is back again with the Vespa. Unlike the existing scooters we have in the market currently the Vespa is very old school and classic in its design and presentation which I believe would kindle the taste buds of passionate bikers in the country. Think of it being something like the Volkswagen Beetle or the Mini-Coupe with two wheels. It truly an Italian icon and blends with the spirit of the country. You can feel the Italian in it. It brings along with it the old memories of riding around with your parents in the 70s and 80s.
The automaker claims that the Vespa would give a mileage of about 60 kmpl.  Its got a 4 stroke, air cooled 125cc engine. This is good power for a scooter. Everything else is what you see in any other scooter. What makes this scooter distinct is its design. It definitely stands apart from the rest. It is said that the designer of the Vespa had a lot of hatred for motorcycles as he found them to be heavy and unreliable. Thus the tradition of continuing with the concept of a scooter every since it was first invented in 1945.

Expensive and Worthless!! What do you say?

Porsche Cayenne GTS is worth 1.3 crores and has a mileage of 5 kmpl. Audi 2.0 TDI is 44 lacs and has a mileage of about 10 kmpl. Skoda Rapid is about 9.5 lacs and gives a mileage of 10 kmpl. Audi 3.0 TDI is about 48 lacs and gives a mileage of 7.5 kmpl. Are these cars worth the bucks? Maybe, if the purpose is just to show off.

402 kms and still going

-
There was an issue with the gearbox cover as it had no screw in it. I was wondering how TVS could ever sell a product to the customer without testing and verfication of the all possible defects and missing parts in the bike. ???? Had gone to the showroom to replace the screw and boom! I found a furious customer shooting flame balls at a TVS representative on the mileage that his Black Apache provided. He was crying over a pathetic figure of 30 or less. Neverthless out here with me the breeze is cool and plausible. 400 km and still going like a gun. No worries, no tension. After all, in my opinion, no matter what be the vehicle, It all depend upon how you ride it. Proper usage of the clutch, right gear at the right speed and engine rpm etc. are all such examples. Apart from that a defect in the product is not your problem. You can always go and claim or even sue the manufacturer. So no worries and happy riding.
