Piaggio Vespa vs Hero XPulse 200T Comparison

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.

A tourer version to the Xpulse range, the Xpulse 200T offers equally satisfying ride in the city as it does on the highways, coupled with excellent handling dynamics going over in corners helps its case. However, the design is not its strongest virtue, as is a vibrating engine at higher speeds that creeps into the handlebar. The absence of a fuel injected engine also adds to a low refinement on the engine.
