Thoughts About The New Vespa Urban Clap 125

The scooter does look like a limited edition version of the Vespa LX125. We think may be Piaggio should have thought of retailing it as a limited edition. But again, it's a scooter we're talking about. The Urban Clap however, looks really nice sans all the chrome usually found on scooters in India.
