Why is the Vespa 125 more expensive than other 125cc scooters?

The Vespa 125 commands a higher price because it uses a full-steel monocoque body instead of conventional plastic body panels. It also offers premium paint quality, distinctive Italian styling and higher-quality materials than most mass-market scooters. While it may not offer the best value in terms of features or performance, its pricing reflects its premium positioning and unique construction.
