There’s a new Vespa in town and it is the limited-edition Vespa Sei Giorni II. It was launched at Didi Resource’s inaugural Vespa Day which was held at the Lost World of Tambun, where 200 Vespa owners congregated to celebrate the nation’s 63rd Independence Day.

The Sei Giorni (which is Italian for ‘six days’) edition pays homage to the original Vespa Sport model that bagged nine gold medals at the Sei Giorni Internazionale held in Varese in 1951.

This latest edition sets itself apart with its unique Grey Titanio shade and bronze top fairing that encapsulates the instrument panel. The “tie” in the centre of the redesigned shield gets matte black finishing while the grilles positioned to the sides of the shield feature honeycomb inserts. Finishing off the snazzy look is the number ‘6’ emblazoned on the front shield and rear panel.

This Vespa is powered by a reworked version of the 300 HPE engine which now produces 23.8 hp and 26 Nm of torque, representing an increase of 12% and 18% over the previous version.

The Sei Giorni II is priced at RM34,500 including a GTS windscreen, as well as a 36-litre top box and its bracket. According to the chairman of Didi Resources Rewi Hamid Bugo, the first batch which is expected to arrive this month has been taken up. It is unknown how many will make it here.
