The good:

+ Top quality construction and aesthetics that reference classical lines, making it a real head-turner.
+ The most modern scooter engine on the market—designed and manufactured in Pontedera, Italy.
+ The three-valve engine gives an improved performance of 7.1 percent in power output and 10.3 percent in torque, giving better pickup overall.
+ Light aluminium body, increasing fuel efficiency.
+ Optional storage box to fix to the rear.

The bad:

- Pricey compared to others within its range.
- The 125cc-engine limits cruise speeds, especially on highways.
- Extremely scarce—only six have arrived in Singapore.

Verdict: This machine is undeniably stunning, both inside and out; perfect for anyone who wants the classic look without having to maintain a real antique. Yes, it’s pricey compared to the direct competition, but it’s still a damn sight cheaper than a car.
