Vespa 300 GTS - TAYM on the dark side

So many people have told me i must try a scooter. To my mind the only real scooter still made today it’s Vespa. I have had to wait a long time to get on one but the wait was worth it. Mototechniks, my local Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, Vespa and Yamaha dealer finally had a demo available. What I found was a well built, good looking and authentic scooter.

Great stuff Mr TAYM! Brilliant around town machine and good on the open road too. Plenty of room for a sandwich and thermos (or a pizza and bottle of wine maybe?) and some wet weather gear under the seat. Looks fabulous. Should be great on fuel. What more can you ask for! I've had scoots before and I'd have one again, so practical, and a Vespa would be very nice indeed. Just need an open face helmet, scarf and a pipe to smoke on the way to work and we are good to go!!

[@TAYM]

😂😂😂 brilliant, love it 😁 thanks DW 😁

I’m amazed by how good scooters are. I have been riding over 40 years and never thought I’d ever get a scooter had never tried one never wanted to. Last year looking for something different I bought a BMW C400GT and love it for getting around. It is better spec’d than many bikes with ABS traction control an engine that’ll do 90-95mph and get over 70mpg. It has braided steel hoses, radial mounted Bybre brakes on twin discs. Keyless ignition with heated grips and seat. Used it right through the winter, takes us both easily at 70+mph on the motorway and has a 15” front 14” rear but they handle really well as they’re 120/150. I know how different it is when I get on one of my bike bikes but whilst I’m riding it I love it.

[@TAYM]

Sounds marvellous 😁 how much are they? 😁 thanks SW 😁

[@SouthWest-jj8yu]

@@TAYM they’re not so cheap new think about £8500 fully spec’d but I got mine much cheaper, a second hand one, two years old but with less than 400 miles it was like new.

I can feel your joy riding the vespa scooter...I have a Royal Enfield Meteor 350cc and thinking of doing a part exchange with a Vespa with superbikes where I got my Royal Enfield after seeing your great video,makes me think further about in the near future in getting one!! Thank you so much for the road trip and tour around the scooter...it's certainly got me thinking and making a decision in the near future....I love my Royal Enfield and beautiful to ride, but I have always loved the vespa from a small child, it may happen in reality owning one!! 😁😁

Fantastic TAYM, like you, my 18 year old self would have dies laughing at the idea of a scooter but now I'm older and wiser I can see the appeal. If I needed a commuter I would definitely consider one for the weather protection and the storage and let's be honest the are quite cool.

Trouble is now, they are associated with thieves and robbers from London😂😂😂 though that seems to have reduced ever since the rozzers were permitted to knock them off 😂😂😂 but yes cool😁 thanks Mike 😁

Got to love those Vespa's with the Compulsory basic training transmission , marvellous 🤣😂 ... Seriously though even though I'd never own one it was interesting to see you on such a classic machine and I can appreciate how practical and simple to use they are. Mind you when I looked up the price I nearly spat my tea out ! .. SV650 territory, then again all that bodywork can't be cheap to produce I suppose.

In 1973 at the age of 17 I bought a Vespa 180 Rally. I loved it and it would keep up with just about any car on the road at that time. Imagine Ford Cortina, Vauxhall Viva, Austin Allegro etc. I'm not too keen on that twist and go version you are riding. Mine had clutch on the left handlebar and gears via a twist on the left handlebar. Would love one for local short journeys.

[@farmoboy83]

Nothing beats the practicality, easy going and performance of a 300cc sub 190kg scooter. They are fast off the line, super easy to ride, good weather protection, good underseat storage, good on fuel, good brakes and even on highways capable of 70mph all day long

[@TAYM]

Yep, that about sums them up 😁 thanks FB 😁

Well said. I changed my variator weights on my xmax 250 so I could cruise mo relaxed LH at 70-75 when riding to Spain. Acceleration loss was negligible but cruise noticeably better

I was waiting for you to try gts300 for some time. I was thinking that it would be a bit small to fit your size. The bike is cute, comfortable and functional. The wheels are 12" but there is 13" replacement kit, also you know that the front does not dive under braking.. Tons of other stuff and customization that a bmw gs rider are envy for 😂 . Also hot air is blowing on your knees. Huge wind screen kits .... I think it would be a perfect bike for mrs. TAYM.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Stefan 😁 I think you might be right 😁

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Good afternoon Mr Mod, sorry Mr TAYM 😂. Seriously though, I had a new Peugeot Django 125 in 2020, and despite it sounding like it was being thrashed, even at low speeds, it was fun enough. Those small wheels don’t like our uneven roads though, and the riding position gave me a real lower back ache. Storage space on scooters is really handy, but still couldn’t fit my full face lid in the under seat cubby hole on the Django. Looking forward to the next review 😉

😂😂😂 thanks Ian 😁

Scooters aren't my thing at all, but i took out my neighbours Honda Forza 350 for a spin and i was mightily impressed with how well it went. Although it seemed weird not having a petrol tank between my knees. For the time being though, they aint for me. But who knows how i might feel about scoots when i get even more older and decrepit, i might only be capable of 'stepping through'

That's the only annoying thing is with the Vespa scooter is the speedo the larger numbers are km per hour and the small are miles per hour. Being a UK official important should be the other way round. And I think the fuel tank could be bigger as well. We have the 300 touring model with screen rear rack and I fitted the Vespa front rack. But we love it.

At last😂😂😂😂. Had honda c50/70/90 anf 125, xmax 250 and sh300, all semi auto or auto and used for commuting since 1974. They are easy diy, new scoots no chain to oil, xmax had fab weather protection. Been to Spain on xmax. Always had a motorcycle alongside but very often for local trips the scooters are my go to. So comfy. Not been on a Vespa type since was 17 but the jap ones are superb. My latest one honda sh300 is positively quick, so light and can filter and cut and thrust effortlessly. Until you try one you may not get it. Thanks Mr Taym for bringing this. Exeter riders done a few. They can never replace a motorcycle for me but I do get true pleasure out of mine. At 64 I haven’t got to grovel on my knees adjusting the chain every few months. Belt changes are v easy diy. One thing is I do prefer the bigger wheels on my honda

[@TAYM]

Wow, I’ve just done a thousand on my SV, absolutely love it, so quick on the back roads. For the money, hard to beat. Have you tried the new Vstrom? Or the Benelli trk? IT in NZ loves his and does similar mileage to you. 😁

[@ruahinesrider]

@@TAYM I haven't tried the Vstrom or Benelli TRK 500.I have a article about the Benelli 500Trk & it's pretty good article & have nothing but praise for it.They said it's got good tourqe delivery suited to gravel,off-road & in article were 2up with big metal panniers & still cruised at 120kmh easily.The Vstrom Adv be more suited to you Derek & there is a 800 version now.Benelli bringing out a 800Trk I think 🤔 could be 700 but sure it's 800cc & have already brought out the Benelli 800 Lecino scrambler so TRK must be close. SV6 are good but are 18kg heavier than Trident 🔱 & Hornet 750. Vstrom version be heavier again & Tiger 🐅 660 sport Tourer is 206kg wet & has a good fly screen & that reliable triple engine but is not Adv you'd have to get a used Tiger 🐅 800-850 or 900 & ain't cheap but very very nice. Honda is bringing out 750CL Scrambler soon like 500CL but with Hornet 750 & also a modern retro 750 too. I would try the Tiger 🐅 660 Derek.

[@ruahinesrider]

@@TAYM SV650 is hard to beat for the price alright. Heavy lug but it's thousands cheaper & most people not concerned over weight will be keen.XSR 700(689cc) LAMS version 655cc & MTo7 are 185kg wet parallel twin & Trident 🔱 189kg are the lightest in that class but Trident 🔱 is better & in NZ 🇳🇿 is $500 cheaper than Yamaha XSR 700 & MtO7 & $1000 cheaper than Kawasaki Z650 CBR 650 & Trident 🔱 has better technology than most of them with Rider modes TFT display Showa forks,Nissen brakes I can't believe Yamaha hasn't lowered prices to match Trident 🔱 considering most reviews rating Trident 🔱 better than Yamaha XSR 700,MTo7,Z650 & better technology it's probably why Trident 🔱 is popular but I still haven't seen one in my area but I live in Cruiser country & Adv country.If weight is a issue the Yamaha & Trident 🔱 be the one for nakeds.Tiger 660 Sport Tourer is 206kg wet with fairing,fly screen so a good base to add panniers Vstrom slightly heavier not my by much but is Adv with 18" front so gravel friendly. Bikes like SV650 sounds like it's got similar tourqe delivery to Trident 🔱 which makes them fun to ride using all the power available as big bikes you're only above idle at 100kmh.A smaller bike like 650 are fun to ride enough power to have fun & be a naughty boy but not enough where you're only just above idle at 100kmh.Trident you can ride at 50kmh 6th gear & accelerate but I don't I'm in 5th gear till 55-60kmh. You can go round corners in top & it pulls away & pulls in any gear & you can be real lazy with gear changes if you want to be.Bikes like these are fun to ride that's why TAYM 🦒 is ringing HIS SV 650 out but I was surprised he didn't get Adv Vstrom for winter bike.

[@neilyplim]

Dear TAYM, Honestly, how did you find the Vespa 300 GTS, during that short period you travelled on the motorway? I heard you say that you reached 70 m.p.h., but how did it feel at that speed, on that surface? Did the engine feel stressed, as though it only had a bit more poke left in it, or did you have the impression that it could have cruised easily at 70 - and perhaps even another 5 m.p.h more - all day, comfortably? Did you find that the throttle was still quite responsive at highway speeds (I'm thinking about the bike's ability to overtake slow moving traffic in the nearside lane)? And speaking of comfort, how did you find the shocks/suspension? A little bit stiff, or possibly too soft? Did it cope with potholes, and/or bumpy road surfaces well, without giving your lower back too much stick? Many thanks for your time. I really enjoy watching your videos! All the best, Neil.

[@TAYM]

Thanks Neil 😁 I have done this again since this video and that includes a bit on the dual carriageway 😁 it did seem to manage just fine at motorway speeds and I do find it comfy but I am not sure I would want to do the mileage some seem to do on them 😁 I thought the suspension was a little soft rather than hard but coped well with the back roads 😁 I found it has a lot more torque than I thought it would but I never thought it would have very much😁 all things considered I really enjoy riding it. Hope that helps 🤔

[@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

[@TAYM]

As I am completely new to scooters I do not think I can answer your question but hopefully someone else might. What I can say is that I really liked this one. I think if it was me and I like the racing sixties paint job, that’s what I would go for. I think keyless ignition is just a fad and I always end up forgetting the key. 😁😁😁 I have set off on demos without the key, forgot to give it back after, and even forgot where I have put it 😂😁😁

You're not correct about the Aerodynamics I'm afraid. Piaggio built Aircraft long before they did Scooters & it shows. Compare the frontal area to any Motor Cycle up until the first fully Faired Sports Bikes of the 80's. Piaggio had them beat even in the midd 40's. Look up the "Vespa Mothlery" from 1950. It took 17 World Endurance Record's in just 10 hours on a Race Circuit of the same name in France. Then compare the line's of that 1940's design with a Suzuki Hyabusa. No REALLY !

Nearly everyone wants to ride scooter down to the shop for quick blast laughing etc.I would need at least a 300cc living in countryside & 100kmh zones.A Monkey 🐒 🐵 be fun but not fast enough 83kmh still be good though but being able to do 100kmh be great.Grom squad in Scotland on KZbin is funny there's at least 4 of them a Squad if mini bikes be fun wouldn't it😂🤣. Fortnine did a funny video about the Bergman 650 & how good it is.
