From the first Vespa in 1946 with its 98 cc, to the most recent version launched in 1992, Piaggio has produced eighty-nine different models; in all these years, almost 20,000 changes have been made to the original project and more than 1,500 parts have been replaced.

The Vespa is currently built in Italy, India and Indonesia, with engines from 50 to 200 cc, in the PX (large body) and PK FL2 (small body) versions and a Classic version for the Japanese market, where it is the best-selling two-wheeled western vehicle with eight thousand units a year.
