The '''Bajaj Priya''' is a three-speed, 150cc [[Motor scooter|scooter]] that was manufactured in [[Pune]], India for Maharashtra Scooters from 1975 until April 1992 under a license agreement with [[Bajaj Auto|Bajaj Auto Limited]]. The design was very similar to that of the earlier "Bajaj 150" model (which was in turn based upon a [[Vespa|Vespa 150]] (VBA type) with a slightly modified body).

==Differences from other models==

===Headset===
Unlike the earlier Vespa and Bajaj 150 models, which used fully enclosed headsets, the Priya shared a headset with the more common Vespa Super, but was fitted with a round "volcano" style speedometer found on other Bajaj Scooters. The headset, which featured a non-enclosed bottom for easy access to cables, also had an integrated switch section, unlike the earlier Bajaj and Vespa 150, where it was joined separately and made of polished aluminum.

===Horncast===
Unlike the earlier Vespa and Bajaj 150 models, which usually sported the original Italian-style horncast with the older rectangular Piaggio [[monogram]], the Priya used an angular horncast with a hexagonal Bajaj monogram similar to Vespa models produced in the early to mid 1970s.

===Tail lamp===
Unlike the earliest Indian-built Vespa 150s, which used the same aluminium tail lamps as the Italian-built Vespa VBA/GS150 design, the Priya came with a chromed-plastic Vespa Sprint type taillight.
