As the X7 joins the line-up, the classic Vespa PX, launched in 1977, is being phased out.

It is the last scooter on the market with a handlebar-mounted four-speed transmission.

The air-cooled two-stroke PX is a cult machine, with the 150cc version still the biggest selling Vespa in history. In 1980, two PX200s reached the finish line of the Paris-Dakar Rally, the world's toughest off-road event.

Meanwhile, Piaggio has appointed ScootaCo in Cairns as a new dealer, lopped $1000 off the price of its three-wheel MP3 250 to $9990, and is offering free registration and compulsory third party on most of their range until the end of June.
