Vespa(name means wasp in Italian) is an Italian Brand of Scooter Manufuctured by Piaggio.Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by
Piaggio—now Europe's largest manufacturer of two-wheeled vehicles and
the world's fourth largest motorcycle manufacturer by unit sales.
Vespa's largest market by all measures globally is still Italy.United Kingdom is still Vespa's second largest global market—and at one point in the 1960s, its largest.
The dominance of the Vespa declined through the 1970s, as small car ownership increased and cheap and reliable commuter bikes hit sales - like the Honda Super Cub
