Euro5 also means >90% less exhaust fumes compared to Euro1 which was introduced 1999 iirc. The difference between a 1950 and 2026 Vespa must be huge.

Great to know. It seems like most of the ones in notice in the are an older vintage and/or poorly maintained.

Even the new ones are awfully loud.

But, yeah, they don't smell like the old ones thankfully

Uh, I know motorcycle engines aren't particularly fuel-efficient (it's not a priority), but there seems to be, er, room for improvement.
