2022 Piaggio BV 400 S

With its 400-cc HPE, this BV boasts a unique combination of power and stability.
Its sporty elegance is crowned by a special fairing and dual exhaust, while larger tyres and Piaggio MIA take the riding experience to another level.

The BV S flaunts its sporty, gritty character, with its design lines and stylistic flourishes testament to its exuberant spirit. The fuel tank is located in the tunnel for greater power and agility, along with riding thrills more typically found in a motorcycle.
Matt graphite grey on the luggage rack, passenger foot pegs, central tunnel and wheel rims makes it clear that this is a scooter with attitude, as does the black dual-material double-stitched saddle.

The BV S comes in a choice of three colours, with the elegant matt Nero Tempesta black and Argento Cometa silver and the oh-so-charismatic glossy orange of Aranco Sunset.
