Review
The Lambretta J125 Starwave is a modern reinterpretation of the legendary 'Junior' series, originally launched in 1964, celebrating its 60th anniversary. Unveiled for the 2026 model year, this scooter blends classic Italian aesthetics with today's performance and safety standards. Its 124.6 cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine produces 10 kW (14 hp) and 11.5 Nm of torque, offering agile handling in urban traffic. Fully compliant with Euro 5+ emission standards, the engine delivers a quiet and efficient performance. The full metal body construction maintains Lambretta's traditional durability and premium feel, while the chassis design is optimized for enhanced urban maneuverability. On the safety front, a dual-channel ABS system comes as standard, paired with 12-inch wheels for stability. Modern technological features include a full LED lighting suite, a keyless ignition system, and a digital instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity. With a seat height of 790 mm and a weight of approximately 135 kg, it promises a comfortable ride for both beginners and experienced riders. The J125 Starwave is not just a means of transport but a lifestyle icon reflecting Italian design heritage.
