Vespa has announced that it will launch the Vespa Racing Sixties in the country on September 1. The scooter was unveiled back at the Auto Expo in February this year. This limited edition scooter is based on the 2020 Vespa SXL 150. Expect the Racing Sixties limited edition scooter to command a premium of around Rs 3,000 over the standard model, which retails at an eye-watering Rs 1,27,008 (ex-showroom Pune).

The primary difference between the Vespa Racing Sixties and the standard SXL 150 is the colour scheme. The former features retro graphics in the form of red racing stripes and gold pinstripe on white bodywork. It also gets premium gold finished alloy wheels for an added retro appeal. Other notable features include an LED headlamp, windscreen, idling stop system, semi-digital instrument cluster that houses a fuel gauge, clock, odometer, tripmeter and speedometer apart from tell-tale lights. It also gets an apron-mounted storage compartment apart from the underseat for added practicality.

Mechanically, the scooter is the same as the SXL 150. The 148.5cc single-cylinder SOHC air-cooled motor churns out 10.46PS at 7600rpm and 10.60Nm at 5500rpm. The monocoque steel frame is suspended on a bottom link suspension up front and a shock absorber at the rear. For superior braking prowess, it gets a standard 200mm front disc with single-channel ABS and a 143mm rear drum.

When launched, it will be one of the most expensive scooters in the country with the only other alternative in the 150cc scooter segment being the Aprilia SR 160.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
