For each unit of the Vespa RED sold, USD 50 goes towards fighting AIDS. This is thanks to a tie-up between charitable organisation RED and Vespa. The collaboration originally used a 946 as the vehicle, but that wouldn't have worked in India thanks to its price tag, which was a few lakhs. The Vespa RED is based on the VXL 125 but is priced between the SXL 125 and VXL 150, making it the most expensive of the 125cc range from Vespa in India.

Notte is the Italian word for night. As such, the Vespa Notte is a cosmetic variant of the Vespa VXL125 that has blacked out everything. The bodywork is cloaked in matte black, the wheels are black, and there is no chrome to be seen anywhere on it. It runs the same 9.5bhp/9.9Nm 125cc air-cooled single cylinder engine as the regular VXL 125. The cosmetic enhancement is expected to be coupled with restricted numbers, to help its desirability and bump up the asking price. There is no real competition for the Vespa Notte other than products in the Vespa range and scooters from its sister brand, Aprilia
