I think it's a nice machine but soo god damn expensive

[@juanjmorasuarez7711]

Hello my friend! I have a question for you, how do you feel the Vespa in the highway? It works when you need to go fast?

[@ScooterLabUK]

I spend a lot of time riding a GTS on the motorway/highway. They’re fantastic. I’ll happily do 300 miles in a day on one and feel good afterwards. They’re comfortable, quick enough and have a good 100 mile tank range. The latest RST22 is much better than the previous model though thanks to the engine mapping.

[@juanjmorasuarez7711]

​@@ScooterLabUK thank you for your answer! definitely this gonna be my next scooter

[@Eduardo291270]

Dear Friend, I saw your review, very interesting. I would like to ask you a question. I have a Primavera 150 year 2017, and I am with the intention of changing it for a GTS 300. I was already decided to buy a green GTS300 Racing sixties, since I really like the design.(Not the rims color) But...I found out from the local dealer... That in my country, the new Vespa GTS300 (that were in the USA in 2022) arrive in next month (July). The new Vespa models will be approximately US$1000 more than the previous ones. (Both 0 km) So when I found out that the new model was coming, keyless, with a new front shock absorber, and some other aesthetic thing, I would like to ask you: Is there a really considerable difference to wait for it, or if I like the Racing sixties, isn't there a change so important as to pay those U$1000 of difference? What would be your suggestion? Does anyone else who has used both justify waiting and paying the difference? Excuse my English and thank you very much in advance

[@ScooterLabUK]

I’d personally wait for this new one. The biggest improvement is in the engine. In the UK we do quite a lot of long distance motorway riding and the latest model is so much better for that. The previous HPE hits the rev limiter all the time at motorway speeds and isn’t nice to ride at 70+ mph. It alse had a tendency to burn oil, both issues seem to have been cured on this model. Also the anti dive front suspension and Brembo brakes make a big difference. Finally the styling makes it worth while, especially the improved instruments.

[@Eduardo291270]

​@@ScooterLabUK Thank you for your suggestion!

[@dstjepan]

I didn’t understood: would you upgrade from 2022- model for this or not?

[@ScooterLabUK]

Yes if yours is the old style HPE.

[@Antischall]

I bought the 2023 Gts300 Supertech 🤗❤

[@ScooterLabUK]

Good choice 🤙🏻

[@DDLovett]

I dont know whether to follow my heart or my head. Now in my 50's and feel the need to get a vespa that i coveted as a teen, but went down the motorcycle route in life. My heart wants a classic vespa, but for comfort, speed and reliability, my head is saying get a new one. Money isnt an issue as i am old, but for six and a half grand, i could buy a really nice 60's or 70's vespa. Like i say. I am really torn between the two choices.

[@ScooterLabUK]

I’d say if money isn’t an issue get yourself a new GTS (as a biker you’ll be surprised just how much you love it). Also, get yourself a classic and realise your boyhood dreams. We can point you in the direction of a specialist in your area if that helps. It’s best to get some advice before you buy into an unsuitable money pit.

[@jomoonen59]

Buy the new one and thx me later :)

[@clangerbasher]

So is the 125cc a new model like this one?

[@ScooterLabUK]

Yes it is.

[@clangerbasher]

@@ScooterLabUK I know some further down the comments don't like them. But I think they look ace. But I have no taste.

[@Zacky12345]

Indian is the new spanish😂 The jam were a punk band🎉

[@paulhughes8724]

I must be stuck in the 80s am I the only one that can't stand these modern scoots

[@ScooterLabUK]

Of course you aren't the only one but sadly retro scooters aren't made anymore and in some places you can't ride even them. The GTS is the modern equivalent of the workhorse PX. It makes a great long-distance machine, or commuter.

[@paulhughes8724]

@@ScooterLabUK I get what you mean but you wouldn't turn up at a classic cars show in a Sinclair c5 and expect to fit in 🤔

[@paulhughes8724]

@John Frazer Couldn't agree more

[@peterbennett4948]

I like my scooters to have manual gears. And I've not changed my mind since my late father's 1965 Triumph T10 scooter.
