Keeway Sixties 300i vs Piaggio Vespa Comparison

The main strength of the Keeway Sixities 300i is the way it looks; it’s got an attractive neo-retro flavour, and there’s nothing quite like it in the market, and at that price point. It does make a bold statement, and it will appeal to someone looking for a step-up in the scooter segment, price being no constraint. The biggest challenge for the Keeway Sixties 300i will be to find takers at its price tag of Rs. 2.99 lakh (Ex-showroom). Of course, there's nothing to rival it at that displacement, but it will also compete with a lot of performance-oriented motorcycles in a market, where value for money, performance, features and brand are all big considerations for the customer. At that price tag, the Sixties 300i could have had a few more features, and the sum of it all, still makes it lack that premium, aspirational value that could have made all the difference between a good product and a great product.

The Piaggio Vespa is a fun scooter, with a likeable old-school design that has been around for almost five decades. It offers decent performance, has a stiff ride quality. It handles well too but is now getting a little long in the tooth, with Piaggio not having made any recent and significant updates in the last few years. Despite decent dynamics, the brakes lack bite, and the scooter is on the expensive side, even for 150 cc scooter models.
