History
A new name and renewed aesthetics characterised the Vespa 125 T5 "Pole Position" launched in 1985. The aggressive lines, the spoiler, the windshield and the digital tachometer enhanced its sporty character. Piaggio entrusted the difficult task of facing off the fiercely roaring Japanese competition to this model. The T5 had a new five-port engine delivering a performance level never achieved by any other Vespa model with similar displacement. This scooter’s connection with the motor-racing world was sealed, in addition to the name, by the choice of Formula One driver Nelson Piquet as testimonial.
