The square headlight, the more decisive design of the mudguards and the shape of the saddle are the distinguishing features of the Vespa S.

The Vespa 946 is made to measure. For man. For the universe.

The number of Piaggio Liberty scooters sold worldwide to date is rapidly approaching one-million. A large-wheel scooter available in a wide variety of models, the Liberty could open yet another revolutionary segment in the Indian scooter market. Equipped with a 125 cc 3V engine and large high wheels, it offers excellent fuel efficiency and superior riding comfort in all road conditions.

The California 1400 Touring redefines the luxury bike concept, and marks a turning point in Moto Guzzi history with its innovation and style.

The Aprilia RSV4 R ABS is the ultimate racing machine, the best a motorcyclist can aspire to in the super-sports bike segment.
