The Piaggio Group appears at EICMA, reaffirming its status among the world’s leading two-wheeler manufacturers. As of June 2025, the Piaggio Group held 10% of the European two-wheeler market and maintained its leading position in the scooter segment with an 18% share.

THE MAIN NEW PRODUCTS FROM THE PIAGGIO GROUP AT EICMA 2025

The Piaggio Group Takes Centre Stage At EicmaAprilia SR GT 400
The new mid-size GT scooter embodies Aprilia’s motorcycling heritage, ready to conquer any route – agile and responsive in the city, yet comfortable and unstoppable on even the most adventurous rides. It is pure Aprilia, with an all-new chassis designed to deliver precision and control on the road, yet fully capable of venturing beyond the tarmac. This versatility is ensured by its long-travel suspension – with a motorcycle-type fork attached to the frame by a double yoke – and its tyres with a deeper tread pattern. Riding enjoyment comes from its class-leading weight-to-power ratio, with 36 hp from a modern liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine and a ready-to-ride weight of 186 kg. Standard equipment includes a 5-inch TFT display, keyless system, traction control and ABS – both adjustable and deactivatable. The underseat compartment can hold a full-face helmet and other items, while the windscreen is adjustable to five different heights.

A special edition of the renowned RS 457 – the most coveted sports bike among young riders – featuring upgraded equipment and graphics inspired by the RS-GP competing in MotoGP.
The RS 457 GP Replica offers even better performance in sporty riding, thanks to the quick shifter that enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts – just like on racing bikes – and the higher-friction front brake pads for more powerful braking. A single-seater cover for the passenger seat and a new black finish for the aluminium frame, swingarm, and upper steering yoke complete the exclusive setup of the RS 457 GP Replica.

The GP Replica livery is a clear tribute to the RS-GP competing in the MotoGP World Championship, featuring a mix of glossy and matte black finishes and the same sponsor graphics as Aprilia Racing’s prototype machine.

The technical features behind the RS 457’s worldwide success remain unchanged – its key strengths include light weight, agility and a comprehensive range of equipment. It is powered by a liquid-cooled, forward-facing twin-cylinder engine with double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, delivering 35 kW – the maximum allowed for a motorcycle that can be ridden with an A2 licence. Alongside its impressive power output, the bike’s weight is equally remarkable: 159 kg dry (175 kg fully fuelled), ensuring an unbeatable weight-to-power ratio. The aluminium frame, with the engine serving as a load-bearing element, and the adjustable suspension deliver a chassis that sets the benchmark for its category. True to Aprilia tradition, the standard electronic package is exceptionally comprehensive: Ride-by-Wire throttle, three Riding Modes, ABS and traction control – both adjustable and disengageable.

The Aprilia Factory family – including, on one side, the premium V4 models RSV4 and Tuono V4, and on the other, the mid-size category benchmarks RS 660 and Tuono 660, both recently refreshed from a technical perspective – gains new and striking graphics for 2026.

Aerodynamic flow is the common theme linking the new graphics across all Aprilia Factory models. Aprilia continues to lead in developing aerodynamic solutions that enhance both performance and rider comfort. The new styling highlights the sculpted surfaces of Aprilia’s most sporty models: the arrow motifs running along the sides mimic the flow of hot air extracted from the engine and trailing towards the tail, while the lines evoke the airflow markers used during wind tunnel testing or CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations.

The Piaggio Group Takes Centre Stage At EicmaMoto Guzzi range: new graphics
The Moto Guzzi range has also seen a complete renewal in recent years, most recently with the introduction of the V7 Sport – the sportiest model in the V7 line – featuring a dedicated setup that includes upside-down forks, dual front brake discs and an even more advanced electronic package with a six-axis inertial platform and multi-map Ride-by-Wire system.

For 2026, all Moto Guzzi models feature new colour options that reflect their distinctive philosophy and the brand’s enduring tradition. The V7 Stone is now available in the new Sabbia Camo finish, while the V7 Special is offered in two highly polished colours: Nero Smeraldo and Bianco 1969. The V7 Sport features the new Rosso Monza livery – arguably one of the most captivating colours in motorcycling history.

New colours debut across the V85 travel enduro range: The V85 Strada – the most essential and urban of the trio – features the new and striking Verde Legnano and Rosso Monza shades, both clear references to Moto Guzzi’s proud sporting heritage.

The V85 TT – the genuine all-terrain model that embodies the original spirit of the V85 – features graphics and colour schemes inspired by stunning, adventure-filled landscapes: the evocative Giallo Wadi recalls the dry bed of a desert stream, whose sand assumes a distinctive yellow hue when lit by the sun. The elegant Grigio Yanar Dag, meanwhile, takes its cue from the hue of natural gas that seeps from the earth, igniting a hill in Azerbaijan that burns without end.

For 2026, the Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel – already fully equipped for touring – is available in a new, rich and captivating Blu Zefiro finish.

New graphics inspired by adventure debut on the Stelvio, the authentic, adventure-focused on-off model built on Moto Guzzi’s most advanced technical platform: Grigio Climbing and Verde Hiking. The new Stelvio colour schemes echo the shades of outdoor equipment and apparel, underscoring the model’s bold, adventurous spirit.

The Piaggio Group Takes Centre Stage At EicmaPiaggio Beverly 25th Anniversary
Piaggio presents a special edition of the Beverly – one of the most popular and best-selling high-wheel scooters of all time – to celebrate 25 years since the launch of the first model. The Piaggio Beverly 25th Anniversary, available with the latest 310 hpe and 400 hpe engines, features an exclusive design that reinterprets the most distinctive elements of the original model, combining them with the sporty character of the latest generation.

The dedicated Grigio 25th Anniversary colour is a new dark grey shade with a matte metallic finish. Its livery is completed by a light grey graphic that runs the full length of the vehicle, from the rear side panels to the front mudguard. Other distinctive details include a smoked flyscreen – another hallmark of the first Beverly – along with gloss black and gold accents that enhance its dynamic appeal. The dual-material seat features a perforated pattern and elegant double stitching that mirrors the vehicle’s details in black, grey and gold. On the inner leg shield, the “25th Anniversary” badge, embellished with the Italian tricolour symbolising Beverly’s Italian identity, distinguishes this special edition.

The Piaggio Group Takes Centre Stage At EicmaNew Vespa Primavera and Sprint S
The youthful and urban Vespa “small body” models – Primavera and Sprint – are timeless icons and symbols of freedom, now featuring a range of technical, functional and design updates. One of the most striking design changes is the introduction of new 12-inch wheels with five split spokes, emphasising the dynamic character of both Vespas. The five-slot grille on the left side panel, exclusive to the Vespa Sprint S, is a styling element inspired by the sportiest Vespas in history. The front mudguard crest on the Vespa Primavera has also been redesigned, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. All versions again feature the retractable bag hook beneath the handlebar, perfect for carrying a handbag or small item of luggage and enhancing practicality in everyday urban use.

A subtle aesthetic update gives the central “tie” on the leg shield a more streamlined look, while the seat on each version has been refined with new materials. The new Vespa Primavera and Sprint S are also safer, now equipped with a rear disc brake. The ABS, which acts on the front wheel, prevents any risk of locking.

Keyless ignition is standard on the 125 and 150 models. Both the Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint S feature new full-LCD instrumentation. Available in three engine sizes (50, 125, and 150) and two fully electric versions, they provide an extensive and varied colour range – in true Vespa fashion.

Vespa 80th
In 2026, Vespa celebrates its eightieth anniversary by inviting enthusiasts to Rome from 25 to 28 June for what promises to be the most spectacular Vespa gathering ever organised.

To mark the occasion, Vespa is also launching a special edition of the Primavera and GTS – an exclusive series distinguished by a dedicated livery and refined craftsmanship details. The Vespa Primavera 80th and Vespa GTS 80th stand out for their distinctive Verde Pastello colour, inspired by the shades of the earliest single-colour Vespa models. The hue also extends to numerous details, including the leg-shield trim, passenger grab handle, mirrors, handlebar controls and front suspension arm. The wheels are finished in the same colour. The commemorative “80th” badge is prominently displayed on the front shield alongside the iconic Vespa logo, while the inner leg shield features a second emblem bearing the “80 years of Vespa Est. 1946” logo, created to mark this significant milestone.
