- Vespa GTS300 Review. Should you buy a used scooter? This bike is currently being sold at @in2moto480 for £3299 join me for a look around this bike and then the test ride.
I was surprised at how much I liked this bike. It’s retro looks and amazing performance really won me over.
Big thanks to :
In2Moto for letting me take the bike out.
Oxford Products for keeping me warm and dry.

I passed one today on the M55 doing a very steady 70, 2 up, with a lot of luggage....it looked solid and strong. Definitely a Vespa, 20/21 plate (?), bright yellow, but unsure of any other details 😊
That is my scooter and I miss it a lot. I swapped it for a royal Enfield meteor 350 but the vespa is better.
I bet it’s quicker than the meteor as well.
I've made several mistakes selling scooters. I progressed from SH350 to Forza 750, then back to Forza 350, then Zontes 310M, and now back with SH350 which I love, and wonder why I ever sold!
Scooters are brilliant. IT’s a shame we can’t keep them all.
There is loads of character with the RE’s I will give you that.
That's faster than any sports bike around town.
Definitely more comfortable 😎
I've had big bikes in the past and once a shop was doing a bit of work on my bike so they borrowed me their GTS 300 Vespa with a race can on it, and was I suprised how quick it was, great little scooter
They are surprisingly quick.
i got an electric scooter and im going to make it look like this lol 😂love the look of the vespa
Which electric scooter did you go for?
Looks like a cracking little ride.
Loads of fun.
Audio very low my friend. Had to put volume all the way up to be punched by the intro video which was at super high volume. ❤ we live and we learn. 😉
One of my early videos. I’ve got new equipment now so should be better on the newer stuff. 👍
Wow, the UK Winters and roads really degrade the finish fast on bikes. Here in California, keep it cleam and it will look like new 20 years later.
Yes it can be pretty harsh here. They can look like rust buckets after a year if you don’t look after them.
There is a sprinkling of secondhand GTS300 out there at the moment. I do like them. But I will have to learn to use gears first to take the next test (on a 600cc) before I am able to buy one.
Yes. But totally worth it
Sh 350 next?
My GTS does the same thing with the left side mirror, must be a feature!
Must be 😂
You must try the BV 400. Former GTS 250 owner.
I’ve done a review on the BV 350 and I liked that.
Be good to see a classic like Vespa against 350 Forza
That’s actually a great idea. A new v’s old style. I might try and set something up. 👍
Common fault on any Vespa is the mirror's coming loose. engine is only 278cc.
Those mirrors were a pain. 😂
I used the 250 Vespa's to Tow advertising trailers for a few years heaps of fun.@@GillyBikes
@patrickcoleman3 that’s impressive using one to tow. 🏆
The Company I word for had 15 GTS 250`s and we could park them because of their ability to be Jackknifed.@@GillyBikes
Great video, but you should adjust the audio of your intro. Your voice is much lower than the intro :)
Thanks. I was having some real camera / mic issues when I did this. Hopefully that’s all sorted with the newer vids.
@@GillyBikes I get it. I was with headphones, so it was worst :)
Keep up the good work, great to see some local bike reviews that are entertaining.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
I`ve always found it so annoying and weird the main speedometer is KPH not MPH🤬🤬🤬
Yes me to. Not great for anywhere that uses MPH.
No they are not expensive. It is a matter of right tool for the job. How is a Vespa expensive as practical as it is and say a 500cc Honda which is less practical better value? The latter is a toy. You are looking at it the wrong. Your video is all about comfort and ease of use and then you say expensive just because of CC's.
They are expensive. No need to get defensive. For a scooter they ARE expensive. You get what you pay for.
@@Blingbling820 So scooter just means cheap now then? You being very simplistic in your thinking. You don't appear to understand how to use the word expensive.
@@clangerbasher it’s all about context. For a motorcycle it’s not that expensive. For a scooter it’s expensive because it’s high quality. You’re out of touch. Why are you so angry? Not getting any vag?
@@clangerbasher WHOOOOOSH
@@ariesmight6978 Is that the sound of something going over your head? I bet that is a sound you are pretty used to by now.
Looks like tons of fun mate!, I think I’ll have to get me one 😉
You should. I had a blast riding it.
i can totaly agree with eveything you have said about the GTS300 ...but then again i am a scooterist i am lucky to own two classics a vespa and a lambretta (and no they dont always break down if well maintained i have done thousands of miles with very few issues but after 46 years i have half an idea of whats gone/going wrong) but i was running an 07 plate 250 for many years then the itch started chopped the 250 in for a kawasaki 650 6ERF to be fair smashing bike and in great condition (haha going to blame you as i watched one of your vids lol) now its just been like my football team relagated again as i have just bought another GTS 300 15 plate little bit of panel damage as the last owner used the side stand so got a cheap scooter (A BIG NO NO on the sie stand ) the 300 is a great scooter for all occasions around town and touring they are quick and cheap to insure and so easy to ride and give miles of smiles home and abroad.
😂 I’m happy to take credit for the 650 😂 these 300 scooters are brilliant as well. I definitely need to add a scooter to my collection. I just need to make some room In the garage.
I own a xmax 300 and burgman 200, both amazing scoots, both capable of over 80mph the storage and weather protection is amazing, they are great for motorway riding
These bigger engine scoots are brilliant. More than happy with riding them all day. I will definitely have to add one to my garage at some point.
What about service cost ?
For that initial jump 'it' is better at 'changing gears' than a person on a manual bike.
Owned 2 of these. Both stolen in less than 3 months. Absolutely love them but not an option if you live in london sadly
That’s such a shame. The joys of city living. Nothing is safe.
Amazing Vespa 300!!!
It really is. I love those bikes 😍
My Gilera runner 125 did 80mph flat
That’s a decent top speed. These 300cc bikes get there quicker but top speed won’t be much better. I think 90mph if you’re lucky.
👍👍💪
