No other scooter in the world can get close to the Vespa’s status. Not Even close. It’s just the Classic that Never get old.

You are 100% correct my friend

I'm 59 years old and have owned most styles of bikes though predominantly sports bikes such as Ducati 916sps , Fireblade 1000RR. I now ride a Vespa 300 GTS and I enjoy it so much. I've ridden from the UK to Azerbaijan on it and they are as capable as anything else I have ridden.

I'm a bike rider and all bikes to me whether scooter or not are motorcycles. Love your enthusiasm for just being out there riding. It's a while since I had my Xmax 250 but yours looks like a great bike 👍

Man, this is the most excellent video, when it comes to why riding a Scooter. Vespa should take it for Promo. Dense Traffic ? Hold my Beer !! I will get my 125er Primavera in about 4 weeks. Greets from Germany. And BTW I always love authentic language !!!

[@ThomasKarg]

No. German Authorities denied my attempt to get a permission to drive a 125 cubic . So I bought one of these funny three-Wheelers. Piaggio MP 3 300. Stronger, faster and also a lot of Fun. This is a gap in German law. You can drive those three-Wheelers even with 500 cubic. @@HARRYS_SLOTCARS_N_RC_CRAWLERS

[@roverroko306]

That is why a Vespa sprint 125 beats anything else in the city. I ride a BMW R9T, amazing bike, also easy to ride and commute on but when there’s a bunch of traffic in the city little nimble Vespa sprint just perfect and easier to squeeze through tight narrow spaces. So I love my main ride, still upgrading it to make it perfect, I will never sell it. But I plan to also buy a little Vespa Sprint 125/150 just for running errands and when traffic is really bad the amount of power for the city is quite enough.

[@GHØ3T97]

I definitely agree with you. It’s always nice to have something small and it’s most definitely got the right of power you need to just get through the city in a hurry

I'm 41 and I've ridden all kinds of motorcycles. I've always liked classic Vespas, but at the same time, I've always looked down on scooters with the attitude of "they're not real motorcycles." The thing is, ever since I saw the 946 a few days ago, I've been bitten by the bug and can't stop watching videos of Vespas...

[@thatwolffe3802]

Loving your videos, looking forward to seeing more. Out of curiosity what microphone are you using? I find every mic I use has barely understandable quality.

[@GHØ3T97]

Thanks for the comment, im glad you enjoy the videos. The mic I use is called a "Purple Panda Lavalier Microphone" you can pick one up from Amazon for £15 thats the mic most moto vloggers use. Hope this was helpful and keep enjoying our vids. - Blaze

We received our brand new Vespa (Primavera 125cc) 8 October we did ride it for 5 days and got an electronic problem! Now already a month later still no Vespa waiting for a replacement part from Italy. OK, no actions from Vespa. I start to get angry and will tell it worldwide! Piaggio Italy does not have electronic spare pieces in case of.... with a lot of luck repair will be in December but it can take month as well because the parts hase to come from Asia 🥵🥶

for a scooter me myself got a primavera s 150,as for the bike i've got a z900rs cafe i love retro vehicles as well as the classic old vehicles especially for a scooter and motorbike,at first i want to buy old vespa pts,but my dad said that "boy,you're too old to take care old sh*ts,better get a retro look instead of the classic one" maybe not much people like how does 1960s gp motorbike looks like,but i do like them and in fact i prefer to have a bike that look like that instead of modern fairing bike so i got myself a z900rs cafe because that's the closest thing i can get

​@@nicolescott89 goodluck with the CBT its very easy and i believe in you, Also the insurance depends on many things but it will definitely be less than £80 pm and yearly cost of the vespa is really low. just 2 services a year is important but ive had mine for almost 4 years and ive never had to change the break pads, rollers or drive belt. youll be fine and i promise you wont regret it. theres just a certain feeling you get when riding a Vespa.

1.03: Whoa, wasn't it illegal to use the right-turning lane and then slip in front of the drivers in the straight-ahead lane. This sort of things from bikers and scooters does not make you popular in traffic - on the contrary!

Lane splitting is: immature…inconsiderate…rude…dangerous…and downright stupid.

[@GHØ3T97]

I'd like you to elaborate on those points so I can bring a precise argument to why you're wrong about everything you just said.

[@jazzis4u1]

Elaborate I shall. I’m sure you think you’re a supremely skilled rider and that negotiating a lane split is well within your capability. But let’s say you’re lane splitting on the right and, while traffic is stopped, I’m discharging a passenger curbside and that passenger opens his door. You wreck your bike, you’re injured and my passenger is injured. Who is at fault here? Let’s say you’re lane splitting on the left and I, not seeing an idiot coming up in my lane (my lane homie) decide to move a little to the left to negotiate a left turn. Who is at fault here? And more importantly, who is a threat to the safety of other drivers around him. I do understand. You’re in a hurry and obviously a privileged being and after all you’re just trying to eliminate traffic conjestion and we should understand. But if you look at this objectively you must understand that you’re a menace to society, an impatient, immature, entitled rider on two wheels that needs to grow up and be an adult before you send yourself or someone else to intensive care.

[@GHØ3T97]

@@jazzis4u1 okay so firstly, youre clearly american and youre clearly not a rider. secondly, why would you stop in traffic to unload a passenger and your passenger should LOOK BEFORE opening their door. thirdly, we dont lane split on the left, forth, you should look in your mirrors before doing anything and if you did that you would see me coming. Lane splitting is LEGAL here for a reason. if we wanted to sit in traffic then we would buy a car. youre clearly just a Karen who's never ridden a bike in their life or YOU would understand why we do it. end of argument.
