Introducing the Piaggio Fly 125

Making it’s first appearance in the Philippines, the Piaggio Fly is a welcome addition to the Italian manufacturers presence in the country. Geared towards the scooterista who prefers the modern look with the legendary Italian company’s engineering, the Fly’s price point is moderately positioned.

My first impression as I approached the scooter (they can be viewed at 2211 Works in Malate), was, “This does not look like an Italian scooter, ordinary looking”. But one look at the engine removed any doubt. This scoot is equipped by the legendary Piaggio 125 cc leader engine, the same engine which made it’s debut here with the Vespa ET4 125. This is one of the most reliable engines that Piaggio has ever put out, power and efficiency all wrapped up in one neat little package.

I’m hoping the people at 2211 will let me test ride this baby soon.
