As an owner, these scooters are fantastic, I have had a GTS for 6 years and have even toured 2 up all over Europe from the uk, fair review Jamie

[@eugeneteo9664]

what are the spares that you carry,like spark plug or fuel pump etc.

[@peterhobbs7609]

@@eugeneteo9664 never bother with any spares, just a tyre repair kit, they really are bullet proof and spares are readily available all over europe

[@crunch1757]

Would you say vespas are safer than most motorbikes?

[@Jimo368]

I have a lot of different style bikes but there is something pure about riding my GTS. With not much in front of you, twist and go and a quiet engine it’s almost like flying down the road. It’s more of the pure essence of biking that other bikes fail to do.

[@doyourememberbe]

Your conclusion is spot on in high density urban environments. These Vespa’s are so damn handy. Pretty low maintenance too. The good news... A Vespa GTS nearly never looks old. The design hasn’t changed that much over the years... The older ones (around years 2010) are also nice and ride as well. Usually the suspension is due for an upgrade on these models. But other then that... a bargain (secondhand models might be somewhat more expensive in the US, here in Europe we can find plenty of them)..;

I got mine (GTS 300 HPE Touring) two days ago. She puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.

Congrats! 🎉 She is such a fun drive!

[@OttavianoAugusto2011]

@@etubrute8474 Thank you! I cannot believe that after so many bikes I had in the past that were so much faster and more powerful I now find so much joy in driving this Vespa. Life is something, isn' it? :)

[@etubrute8474]

@ottavianoaugusto2011 I can completely relate. I have had a few bikes and Vespas, however my 2016 GTS Super is my all time favorite ride. The GTS brings me such peace ☮️ to ride. Enjoy yours and keep chasing that horizon.

Short and very straight to the point review. Great. So stylish and very Italian, this is how I would describe it. Keep up man. You got my like.

Brilliant review! I’m more a sports bike guy but.... I’m seriously considering buying one of these!

[@eugeneteo9664]

you didnt mention the problem of spilling the petrol when topping up.

[@bfarm44]

Never use the side stand just toss that in the recycle they fail and the result is a lot of damage to the bike when it falls. You can get wider tire and you should. Your top speed is off and you need to change the rear wheel abs indicator wheel. You can get quite a few more beans out of it by changing the variator and clutch which I would also do. Gives you more go on the highway

[@edwardpurkis6432]

2000miles and mine never fell. Why. Because I never parked it with the front facing down hill. If like you state here they were junk, you would see them all with scraped side panels. As for putting bigger tyres on it, the 300 handles well - even the motorcycle press universally agree. The standard tyres are very good. Putting larger ones on will make the bike wallow, and not track accurately -oh yes, it will also invalidate your insurance. So good luck claiming when owner error has caused it to fall off the stand. It probably wouldn’t occur to you that the larger tyre makes it lean over more hence the toppling problem. SMH!

[@bfarm44]

@@edwardpurkis6432 it does not wallow at all it corners better than stock

[@bfarm44]

And no that’s a pile of crap it will invalidate your insurance they are a bit wider giving you a bigger contact patch that’s just rubbish talk about insurance invalidation. Stick with stock and trust your side stand if you like but don’t make up rubbish

[@YouMotorcycle]

Good video! I appreciate that you took the time to detail all of the specifications. There are so many lazy KZbinrs out there that just talk about motorcycles in subjective terms that can't really be measured or understood. Nicely done man. Ride safe.

[@JLozdrummin]

I've been watching Jamie for years, he's honest will give a conclusion to his reviews to help consumers make good and wise decisions because not only he rides the bikes but he knows what he's talking about. I hate reviewers who goes to a dealer and ask to do a test ride and ride a bike or scooter for the first time and just after 1 mile they start talking about the bike and try to give it a review without doing homework on it. The worst is as soon as they twist the throttle the reviewer say "wow it's got power or it lacks power that I didn't expect" well of course because they have never rode it before. Jamie is a pro and won't steer you wrong.

[@davekuebler8782]

How about doing a review of a Yamaha XMAX 300 scooter? They are great, I have Vespa 300 and a XMAX 300.

[@ianrayfabros3784]

Which one you like better? I am having a hard time choosing between the two.😫

[@nickfarley4668]

Would also like to know which one you think is better between the Vespa 300 and Xmax 300. For looks, styling and heritage I'd choose the Vespa. For functionality, performance and value for money it would be the Xmax 300. Still undecided overall.

[@irishrover63]

I have a 2009 Vespa GTS300 in black and love it. Got rid of that side stand as it scared the crap out of me on left hand bends. Buying used is the way to go, I paid £1500 and mine is mint. I do like the new colour schemes.

[@davemascetti9964]

How do you deal with not having a side stand? I only mean how do you park/store it? Sorry I don't know much about these yet

[@joshuajohnson4935]

Just use the center stand, it’s 100x sturdier then the side stand. When my girlfriend bought her Vespa sprint, she just had to have side stand. So I installed one for her and it ended up tipping over and she hasn’t used the side stand since.

[@MrCraiger527]

I love my GTS 300!!!!

[@dotonthehorizon9620]

I have a 200cc Piaggio Zip. Its the tiniest road legal motorcycle-scooter in the world. Very rare aswell. Weighing only 100kg it does automatic wheelies :)

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I would really like one of these, i would probably get into trouble. I've put 500 miles on a 50cc Spree this summer never leaving my small town, i can only dream of getting on the FREEWAY.

@Liberty Tree thanks for explanation. It was a little joke.

[@steve-wu7jp]

If I didn't move out of the big city I'd still have my zuma 125. Great bike, this Vespa has double the cc. I bet you could hole shot most cars with that thing ✌

[@cgeo3380]

I would love to hear your opinion on the new refined Royal Enfield Himalayan 2021!

[@RobVespa]

Still like the looks of of the 60s and earlier designs more, but it's better than the blocky late 70s-80s models.

[@amelsfr]

la strumentazione del super tech dovrebbe essere disponibile in tutti i colori come optional

[@sabbottart]

You can get a lotta motorcycle for 8 grand. These Vespa’s are most certainly 8 grand after adding sales tax and such. You can always add a luggage rack to a motorcycle. 17+ inch tires on a motorcycle are another huge advantage. The Vespa is good for people who don’t like to shift and want the status.

[@dderuy]

Good stuff bro

[@motogeo]

Appreciate it

[@mfeidler]

Why are all the side reflectors missing leaving ugly holes? Also forgot to mention you can't fill it up with gas without it spilling all over the top. Still love my 2009 Vespa GTS Super though.

[@greenophotography]

I live in LA and am thinking of purchasing one of these. Any recommendation as to which Vespa dealer to visit? Thank you!

[@brunothepug8807]

Why can't they get the bigger engine from the Beverly 350 into it? In the US a lot of suburban riding requires frequent freeway runs. This motor is just a tick too small I think.

[@jrnumex9286]

luggage rack(s) make all the difference for needy things

[@gerrynightingale9045]

*I didn't get most of this because I was too busy SH!TTING MY PANTS watching all the zooming between cars!* ____________ *It's jumping a rock in the Grand Canyon saying "No...it's okay!* *"That deep part is way over there so no worries" as the scoot freefalls for 400ft. and the rider says "See...I said it wouldn't be deep and I was RIIIIIIIiiiit...!"*

What fuel consumption do you get?

[@randygravel2057]

No steel frame. Monocoque construction.

[@Qwcgvv]

Yes they are a steel frame,the only plastic on them is the trim.

[@kristofferrydquist8384]

Nitpicking here, but I also reacted to the frame comment. Every scooter on the market has a steel frame (maybe aluminum) clad with plastic body panels. The Vespa has a steel monocoque, that means the steel body panels is the chassis structure. There is no frame underneath. It is both expensive to make and repair but it creates an incredible stiffness.

Compared to a TMAX and some of the other Japanese scooters this just looks too dainty. I've got a Honda PCX150 which uses only 2.3l/100km, comparable Vespa 150 scooters use around 4.5l/100km, one wonders why.

[@ShamelessB0Y]

You cannot even compare a trashy cheap PCX150 with the Vespa, it's in a totally different class. it's more reliable, better build quality, the engine runs smoother and is more powerful, it handles better, it's more comfortable. No comparison

[@Visionery1]

@@ShamelessB0Y "it's more reliable, better build quality, the engine runs smoother and is more powerful, it handles better, it's more comfortable.", yes, that basically sums up the PCX150.👍

Modern Vespas are really fun but I've found they often have small rust spot problems and the side stand should never be used . Not that great on gas really when compared with other scooters . In the end I would say not worth the price for what you're getting , you're really just paying more to look trendy .

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Incorrect. I have used a: Honda NT650 (same size as a Trident), Honda VFR800, Honda XR650R supermotard, BMW R1150GS, Husqvarna Splitsvilla 401 (smaller than a Trident), Vespa GT250 and a KTM 1290 SAR as transportation in/around San Francisco. The undisputed, hands-down best bike of the bunch for an urban environment (even including my XR supermoto) is the 250 Vespa. There is absolutely no question.
