New for 2025 are a few rider aids to enhance the riding experience. Lean-sensitive ABS Pro replaces the previous standard ABS, and linked to ABS Pro is the new Dynamic Brake Control Function, which controls throttle input during braking to prevent rear-wheel skidding.

The BMW C 400 GT comes with a standard 6.5-inch TFT (shown), which can be replaced by an optional 10.25-inch unit.

The C 400 GT comes with a 6.5-inch TFT display that can be controlled through the left handlebar switches. Opting for the Premium package upgrades instrumentation to a larger 10.25-inch TFT. 

The scooter’s storage space has been increased by a total of 12 liters across three compartments. The under-seat compartment has been enlarged by 23% to 37.6 liters, and the right-front storage compartment has been increased by 346% to 4.7 liters, while the left-front storage compartment has also been slightly enlarged.  

2025 BMW C 400 GT
Under-seat storage capacity is now 37.6 liters, enough room to accommodate a 15-inch laptop.

The seat has been reshaped and has a lower height at 30.1 inches (down from 30.5 inches). Also new is a standard manually adjustable windscreen. 

2025 BMW C 400 GT
Controls on the left side of the handlebar operate the TFT instrumentation.

Vespa has updated its two “small body” scooters – the 2024 Vespa Primavera and the 2024 Vespa Sprint S. Both models get freshened styling while maintaining a classic Vespa character, and both are available with either a gas-powered engine or an electric motor. These two Vespas also come in a wide range of trim levels and colors.

The Vespa Primavera and Sprint originally emerged in the mid-1960s. In 2013, Vespa brought back the Primavera as a “small body” scooter with a focus on accessibility, urban convenience, and style. The Vespa Sprint was reintroduced in 2014 as the more fun-loving and youthful of the small-body scooters. Both scooters are built on a full steel body and share many components, with the major differences between the two coming in the form of styling touches and color options.

Updates for 2024 include new switchgear, new hand grips, and a new front shield. Also new are the wheels, with the Primavera having five spokes and the Sprint S having six. The seat has been updated with new materials.

Most of the upgrades to the Vespa Primavera and Sprint S come from the electronics department. A new instrument panel combines an analog speedometer with a 3-inch LCD screen, which shows a tripmeter, fuel consumption, and average and max speed. The LCD instrumentation also permits the rider to connect to a smartphone. Smartphone connectivity comes as standard on the Vespa Primavera Tech and is available as an option on the rest of the models. In the 150cc version, the Vespa Primavera Tech options package adds a 5-inch TFT display that can show phone calls, messages, and music information once connected to a smartphone. Also new is an LED headlight, taillight, and indicators on all models.

Both the Vespa Primavera and the Vespa Sprint S are available with either a combustion engine or an electric motor. The combustion engine versions are available in either a 50cc or 150cc displacement with an air-cooled 4-stroke engine with three valves and electronic fuel injection. The electric option includes the Primavera Tech equipment package, which adds smartphone connectivity, a keyless system, and a 5-inch TFT display. Vespa hasn’t yet released full specifications on the electric powertrain.
