I was gifted a Vespa SXL V3. But I cannot find any specific website that list that model. But maybe it's just that I don't get what de XL mean, if the S means is the model. It's 2023.

A photo and some additional information would help. As it is a 2023, I presume it is a 4 stroke. Is it air versus water cooled? Do you know the engine displacement? Does it have a rear disc or drum brake? If 3v indicates a 3 valve engine, that would be another clue.

Mine also goes by its Bond Girl name: 'Vespa Baguette' but I think that's just a me thing.

What I find is that the Vespa SXL is an APAC Vespa model with a 125 or 150cc air cooled engine with 3 valves.
I expect technically much alike a european Vespa Sprint 125 - 150.
Their 125cc engines have the same bore and stroke.

I don't usually like a matte color, but that blue is one of my fave Vespa colors. Very nice!
