Piaggio to Launch Fly 125 by October in India

A few months back, Piaggio made quite a re-entry into the Indian Two Wheeler market by launching thier flagship and classic Vespa 125 in the premium segment of scooters. The ex-showroom price of the Vespa was set a Rs. 66,000 which raised quite a lot of eye-balls. Piaggio is in the Headlines yet again, and Boy!! Do they have good news !

Piaggio is going to launch the Fly 125 in India by October 2012. Fly 125 is currently available at the UK and from what we know of Piaggio's legendary quality and lifestyle machines, we can expect the Fly 125 to provide aggressive competition to Suzuki Access, Honda Activa, Hero Maestro and Mahindra Rodeo.

Light, compact and agile, the Fly 125 is equipped with a four-stroke 125cc LEADER engine. A protective shield and rigid steel tube frame ensure safe, precise riding, whilst a powerful, reliable front disc brake contributes to total rider confidence. The Piaggio Fly features telescopic hydraulic forks and 12" wheels with large tubeless tyres for easy handling and safety even on rough roads.

The Fly 125cc is equipped with a single shock absorber at the rear that has adjustable spring pre-load to suit all riding styles. The Fly's large footrest offers plenty of space for the rider's feet, as well as allowing room for stowing a bag on the useful hook at the front of the seat. There is also a glove compartment and ample space for a helmet under the seat. The instrument panel is clear and easy to read, and incorporates a clock and calendar.

It will have class leading fuel efficiency for Indian version.
