Lambretta returns! But it's made in Taiwan

The new LN125 is the first scooter ‘branded’ Lambretta for decades. But while the name is synonymous with Italian style – and the new scoot is styled by an Italian – it’s based on a Taiwanese-made Sym four-stroke. So while the LN125’s silhouette harks back to the iconic two-stroke workhorse of the ’60s and ’70s, any similarity ends there. And what opinion you’ll hold of the LN125 depends on what age bracket you fall into. If you’re a fresh-faced 20-something with no memory of Fernando Innocenti’s original design, the LN125 will appeal. It’s a simple, colourful twist-and-go scooter. Put the key in, pull on the bar-mounted rear brake lever, thumb the starter button and pootle off in the same way as you would on countless other cheap and cheerful scoots. However, if you’re over 30 and have a memory tinged by images of the original Lambretta, you will undoubtedly view the Li125 with suspicion. I certainly did. While it looks like an Innocenti machine in some areas – cool paint, bulbous
