            Best scooter in which we could go for a long travel with smooth engine and great power, it's also spacious and could keep whatever stuff we got! , The scooter comes with a good price in which lot of person could buy it and it's a one time but as we buy now we should not worry fr later as the maintenance cost is low and could travel even longer period of time

            Outtwr look is so cool
            Outtwr look is so cool but should concentrate milege , it's the worst thing I have felt , comfort is supper duper best. Bike condition is super only few modifications should be done , tyres also should check once but it's cool for family people , but mostly mileage should look over. Yeah that's it for this bike review

            Vespa SXL 125 has such poor quality
            Talking about my Vespa SXL 125, I have driven it for only 2200 kms. I can't believe that the parts of this scooter are of such poor quality. I honestly recommend not to buy this scooter because of its poor parts and poor service center. No mechanic on the street will be able to fix it. Only the company showrooms have spare parts and they don't have ready stock.

            Sturdy structure and bright colors
            Vespa SXL 125 Pretty successfully combines traditional Italian design with modern capabilities. It offers a retro appeal that is enhanced by a sturdy structure and bright colors. The refined engine of the scooter allows for smooth and effective performance while boasting great fuel efficiency. The seating is quite comfy, the handling is pretty great, and the ride is further improved by the suspension.
