I’ve been a motorcyclist for some years now, and was on my way to buy a W800 cafe racer, when i saw this, bright yellow Vespa in the showroom. I know😬… what was i thinking?? Anyway, i purchased the GTS 300 SUPER🤪 because I’m weird like that😝 Do i regret my decision? No… I don’t! This scooter brings a smile to my face whenever i see her; her name is lulu, and we’re now, inseparable🥰 It’s an entirely different experience riding a scooter, and the look on the faces of my friends and family, when i rolled up on her, I’ll never forget☺️ lulu does encourage one to, abide to the speed limits, and enjoy the experience of biking like never before; she’s no slouch either, she’ll move along quick enough, and will ride, two up from Wales to Scotland without issue. Ive not always made the best decisions in my time, but this, particular decision, was just perfect. No more, head down, arse up for me, I’m a true convert at 61😎

Absolutely loved your review. I've recently retired and bought a vespa primavera, bright blue. I've named her 'bliss'. She makes me smile and I get such a kick out of scooting around my town and countryside. She's the only vespa in town. Early days yet but I plan to do alot of touring after winter.

I’m on my 2nd GTS 300. Did a 600 mile ride a couple years ago. I’ve ridden every type of 2 wheeled vehicle and LOVE my Vespas. I’ve owned a dozen of various vintages from a 1962 to my 2021 GTS 300 HPE. They are a showcase of clean Italian engineering.

I won't buy an HPE. Vespa DOUBLED the maintenance requirements on it from the previous GTS300, which to me means they have reliability concerns with it. I also don't have any desire to practically rebuild the engine every 6,000 miles.

I have a GTS 300. A top box and a windshield make it a perfect riding scoot. Shopping, no problem. 62 mile freeway commute at 65MPH, no problem. I've had it up to 75+ MPH and it still was pulling but my courage ran out. More comfortable than my motorcycle. Zero mechanical problems. Vespa Servicing is expensive, however. Everybody loves a Vespa.

I’m told that in the USA Vespas don’t have the side stand as standard, like they have in Europe. That is probably why this vehicle doesn’t have it. Instead there’s a link for locking the scooter. The kick link of a side stand would be mounted more towards the rear.

To anyone thinking about buying a Vespa: here in italy there are of course plenty of them and many of them are VERY old. It's not uncommon to see vespas that are between 15 to 20 years old and they still work perfectly and you will always find spare parts no matter how old your vespa is. The true upside of Vespa quality is also that you really need to buy it once. And if you think those old vespas are well kept or something, that isnt the case: people use them regularly to go to work and they withstand heath and cold every year.

Ah, yes…"you get what you pay for." I've had my GTS300 Super (2015, a bit newer than the one you're on, and with a few interesting changes as a result) for over five years, and in spite of a few issues, I love it as mush now as the day I rode it off the proverbial showroom floor. I *know* no other scooter would've done it for me the same way. The bigger deal is that it's my principal mode of motorized transport, as I don't own a car, and I frequently travel from central New Jersey to my former home of NYC, which involves a lot of highway miles, which the GTS handles rather well: I won't outrun someone who insists on doing 90 where the posted limit is 65 (good luck with that here), but the bike will cruise at 65-70+mph all day long. And yes, the stock suspension is generally very good compared to other scoots, but I decided to upgrade to Malossi shocks at the near-20k mile mark, and the ride is even better as a result. The upshot here is that *any* GTS in decent shape is a seriously-good scoot.

I also have 2 Vespas. A 1979 P200E 2 stroke manual shift kick start scooter that is an absolute blast to ride. It requires a LOT of rider interaction with the scooter, which is what makes it so much fun. You don't just sit there, you have to be operating the controls all the time. I also have a 2006 GT200, which is pretty much like that one, but it is a light metallic green. The frame/body is the same size as that one, but it has a carbureted 200cc engine, and a CVT. I ride it when I just want to kick back and ride long distances. The carbureted 200cc engine will top out at 74-75 mph, which is just a couple mph slower than the EFI GTS250 and 300. Vespa didn't make the engine bigger for more power. They had to make it Euro compliant (which I think is a big bunch of BS) and doing so robbed a lot of power from the engine, so they increased the displacement to compensate for it. I definitely prefer carbureted engines over computerized EFI engines. They are so much simpler, with so much less to go wrong. Unfortunately it does have that computerized immobilizer, and I have yet to figure out how to disable it. If I ever lose the chip key, or something goes wrong with it, the whole computer has to be replaced.

You say that this Vespa is very easy to service. I have an earlier Vespa 300 GTS, and soon after I bought it from the previous owner I replaced the spark plug. It was not an easy job. Once you have the spark plug socket on the plug you need a ratchet type tool in the end of the socket. The problem is that inside the engine cover the space is very restricted, so it is difficult to move the ratchet tool either way to unscrew the plug. It can be done if you have the correct tools.

I found a Vespa Sprint that's from 2015 and looks like new in the photos he sent me. Originally a 50 cc, it's been upgraded to a 70 cc engine. Is it worth $2400? Or should I buy a cheap bicycle or ciao for now´, just to get around town this Summer and save up for a motorcycle license costing $3500, then invest in a real Vespa 300 cc or motorcycle instead? I'm wondering about the value for money and if the 70 cc upgrade offers significant advantages over the 50 cc. What are your thoughts on starting out with 70 cc? I'd appreciate your advice so I don't end up regretting a second-hand Vespa purchase online. Thanks for your insights!

New to Vespas but not two wheels...do they have self-cancelling turn signals?

The old Vespas had a clutch and 4spd transmissions. No belt and variator to fuss with. Liked much more.

in '96 they went automatic. Yes I liked the manual shift/clutch on left hand and foot brake on floor as well. Lot more interaction. Had a '62 Lambretta TV175 and obviously manual. Kick start only,6 volt system and had to add oil to gas every fill up. Modern scooters are so advanced now.

Doesn't feel like budget suspension because it's not a budget. It should not be a surprise. Vespa is a premium brand.

i like vespa but drive a yamaha zuma 125 for 1/2 the price. not the top end speed of a 300 cc vespa but zuma fits rear racks, bags, driver foot foot pegs and factory windscreen. 60 mph or below zuma will hang big time if not for the win. if you want the sophia loren style in rome look then vespa i guess.. plus i just bought the honda navi and it's great scoot $2700.00 out the door. not sure OTD on 300 vespa but probably well under that for my 2 scoots.

I wish all EV bicycles were single arms. Hub and brake attaches to arm and wheel simply bolts onto hub. So simple to get wheel off and on, brakes are easy to work on. It's obvious this works, why has no one done it? I don't know.

Vespa is the same quality, reliability and driving as Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Kymco, Daelim. You pay premium for looks and style. A Vespa looks admittedly much better than these brands, but for me the looks didn’t justify the price difference.

@@stevemiller7433 Yeh, I've seen them on the web site. Just too big size wise as well as price and to me too ugly. They lack the lines and style of the Vespa line up. Now if Vespa could manage to put the 3 wheel tech into a scooter like the Elettrica...I'd buy one. I live in California and I understand any 3 wheel under a certain horsepower a regular class C drivers license is all you need to operate it on the road.
