Ushering in the Year of the Dragon is the 2024 Vespa 946 Dragon, with exclusive matching varsity jacket. Coming as a limited edition, only 1,888 units of the 946 Dragon will be made for sale worldwide. The 946 Dragon comes clad in an exclusive golden paint scheme, complemented by an emerald green dragon motif. The Dragon Varsity Jacket, made of ribbed wool with soft nappa sleeves carries the dragon design in print and embroidery on the back panel and left pocket, while the Vespa ‘V’ is monogrammed on the front.

Malaysia, the latest of the line was the Vespa 946 10 Anniversario celebrating
the Year of the Rabbit, priced at RM 99,900 and we can expect the 946 Dragon to
