After the success and consolidation of the first Vespa models, numerous more imaginative versions appeared, mainly from the creative minds of their fans. 

The Vespa Alpha was built in collaboration with British company Alpha Willis for the shooting purpose of a movie "Dick Smart 2.007", starring Richard Wyler, Margaret Lee, Rosanna Tapados in the 1967. The Dick Smart's sophisticated scooter built based of the Vespa 180 Super Sport. In the movie, the Vespa Alpha is described as having extraordinary abilities, not only can it be used to go fast on the highway, fly like a helicopter, it can also function as a submarine. The flying scooter's front is resembled like a tilapia fish. Moreover, there is a lamp that looks like a fish's eye and a hole in the muzzle is added as the fish's mouth.

It is on display in the Piaggio museum in Pontedera.

The Vespa 90 SS Super Sprint (V9SS1T) is no doubt the most stylish Vespa with its unmistakable aggressive design, “its speed, its irresistible spurt and its stirring riding” is produced by Piaggio starting in 1965. 

The fact that the name says it all proves not only the extremely sporty appearance, but also the further developed engine of the Vespa V50/90. Also, the 90 SS won the first round race in Italy and several other races. 

It features a smaller legshield and an oddments pannier placed between the saddle and the handlebar. Like the Vespa GS of 1955, the spare wheel can be positioned in the middle of the floor platform. Exploiting the success of the Vespa Super Sprint, Piaggio prepares a 50 cc version too only for the foreign markets (particularly Switzerland and Germany).

The 90 SS, like the Vespa 50, is among the most sought after models and is a real collectors item.

The Vespa 125 GT Granturismo (VNL2T) , whose frame was identical to the Sprint 150, was also very similar to the 125 Super, with a smaller bore and lower gearing, presumably to hit the European learner 125 market. 

All body parts and most engine parts (except for the piston, barrel, and gears) should be interchangeable between the two. The main difference was in the wheels, which were 10". Performance was slightly better due to a higher compression ratio. The headlamp was trapezoidal. The body was becoming more modern (thanks to the new headlamp) and the wheels had a larger diameter: a characteristic particularly appreciated by the target public of sixteen-year-olds.

The GT 125 is offered as standard with single saddles and until 1968 in aquamarine light blue and from 1968 in a metallic light blue.

The Vespa 180 Super Sport replaced the glorious GS 150/160. This model has a top speed of 105 km/h, and is therefore recognized as one of the fastest scooters of the time, due to 10 hp of maximum power.

Piaggio modified the front cowling, making it more aerodynamic and significantly improving comfort, handling and roadholding. At that time represents the Vespa model with displacement highest ever produced. Was fed with a mixture of 5% had the spare wheel located below the stomach and the left were adopted both the front trunk, attached to the back of the shield to the handlebars and headlight trapezoidal.

This model uses the piston port for the last time, which will change to the rotary valve with the later model, the Vespa 180 Rally.

This Vespa 50 N (V5A1T) was the most popular Vespa with the young. Brilliant and easily handled, with attractive, exclusive styling that derives from the line of the larger models. 

In order to attract a wider audience, Piaggio introduced the Vespa 50, which was promoted with the slogan "Young, Modern and ... without documents”. It was a Vespa that, according to the rules of the Highway Code in 1963, could be driven without plates and without a license starting from the age of 14. The engine is completely new, with the cylinder positioned at a 45° angle and no longer horizontal. 

The Vespa 50 was the last scooter designed by Corradino D'Ascanio and the 50cc is a landmark in the history of Vespa: from 1964 to the present, more than 3 million 50cc models have been produced.

In the summer of 1962, a Vespa GS carried two Madrid University students, Santiago Guillen and Antonio Veciana, on a tour of Europe. 

The two youths, headed for Rome and then Athens, met the master of surrealism in Cadaquez, the first stop on their trip. In the words of one journalist, Salvador Dalì “true to his reputation, decided to decorate the Vespa in bizarre fashion, adding his signature and the name of his partner and muse Gala.” In the summer of 1999 in Girona (Spain) during "Eurovespa", it was exhibited at "The Art of Motorcycle" and was then kindly donated to the Piaggio Museum by Giovanni Alberto Agnelli.

The Vespa Dalì’s last international outing took place in 2000 at VespArt, a London exhibition. Subsequently, the exhibition’s eight Vespas decorated by eight British celebrities including Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon were auctioned for charity at Sotheby’s.

With the model years 1960/61, the VNB1T and VNB2T are presented as the cosmetically slightly revised successors. The Vespa 125 VNB2T model is easily recognisable by the - now standard - rectangular speedometer with white dial. There is no more battery and the tail light has 6V/5W instead of the 6V/3W. Starting with frame number 9001 a stand with a larger diameter and four instead of the two screws for mounting is used.

Technically the VNB is delivered with an engine which works according to the rotary vane principle which was previously introduced with the Vespa 150 (VBA1T) of 1959. The big advantage of these engines is that the carburettor is located on the engine housing directly above the crankshaft, which provides very good lubrication of the lower connecting rod bearing and the crank drive bearing. A measure thanks to which the proportion of oil in the mixture can be reduced to 2%.

The legendary Vespa 150 Gran Sport (GS) established itself in 1955 with the model VS1. The Vespa 150 GS (VS5) front shield had a stainless steel rim and a die-cast handlebar that concealed the control cables. 

It had a characteristic fan-shaped speedometer and the rear lamp had a stop light, which had become compulsory, with chrome trim. The front mudguard crest also had a new design. There were significant improvements to the braking system and the engine in general – it had a new carburettor and cylinder head with a hike in horsepower to make running smoother and more flexible. It also had an improved braking system and the Piaggio crest on the front fender.

The Vespa 150 GS (VS5) holds the record for the number of units built (80,000) and was produced between 1958 and 1961.

Before the 125, the Vespa 150 (VBA) modified the scooter mechanics by adopting rotating distribution, enabling use of a 2% petrol-oil mixture. The color was similar to its predecessors (metallic blue), however the side panels were decorated with aluminum air vents and the rear light was larger and fully chromed.

The carburettor was housed on the engine casing instead of on the cylinder as in the first 150 GS series. The inlet on the engine casing was regulated at each rotation by the opening and closing of the left crankshaft counterweight. Users appreciated the resulting benefits: smoother power delivery, fewer carbon deposits and lower running costs. 

This model made its debut during the Olympic Games in Rome in 1960 and became a great success thanks to its elegance and functionality.

Produced in two different colours, grey and beige, the 1958 Vespa 125 marked an epoch. It was the first Vespa on which two steel half-shells were joined to make the body. 

This type of frame had major advantages in terms of industrial production and would be used on all Vespa models thereafter. Another new feature was represented by the commands hidden within the handlebar, which was also composed of two half-shells of pressed steel; a certainly more stylish feature that had been used until then only on the 150cc models whose handlebars were, however, die-cast. 

The engine too had a new design - it was smaller, with the transverse strut incorporated into the crankcase. This was the last Vespa to use the 5% mixture.
