A mid-tier option that retains the Storm's aggressive looks but misses out on the BS-VI refinement.

Pros

Stiff chassis allows for sporty handling characteristics
Lower price point than the BS-VI model
Cons
Analog instrument cluster is very basic
Firm ride quality can be uncomfortable on rough roads
Missing the fuel-injection refinement of newer models
As of 17 Sept 2026
Choose the Vespa SXL 125 if
You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

The modern choice for a younger demographic, trading the classic shine for a stealthier, aggressive matte look at the same price point. Stylish premium 125cc scooter; price is high but justified for buyers prioritizing Italian design and brand image. Best suited to urban riders wanting a distinctive retro look more than outright performance or features.

Pros
Trendy matte finish gives the scooter a more modern and premium aesthetic
Matte texture hides small dust particles better than glossy finishes
Sturdy steel construction remains the best in its class
Distinctive matte styling with rectangular headlamp and mirrors that stand out in traffic.
Refined 124.45 cc engine with adequate city performance and smooth CVT operation.
Good claimed mileage and moderate 7.4 L tank giving useful range for urban use.
Premium Vespa brand appeal and strong resale interest in lifestyle scooters.
Cons
Matte paint is difficult to repair; scratches usually require a full panel repaint
Cannot use standard wax or polishes, requiring specific matte-care products
Pillion comfort is limited by the narrow rear seat design
Very expensive for a 125 cc scooter compared to mainstream Japanese and Indian rivals.
Feature set is basic for the price; lacks modern digital cluster and connectivity.
