Thanks a lot, just received my new GTS 300 Super Sport in Angola. You're the only one who could explain how to lock, open the seat and so on. Very detailed review. Thanks a lot!
I'm with you on this. I just sold my 2014 for a new GTS HPE and now use side stand all the time. I also bought one of those machined aluminium foot "shoes" to increase its stability and functionality even more.
I worked for a vespa dealer in Ma when I was 16 17 years old I own a 1966 vespa 180SS and a 2013 GTS300. Both of my scooters are white stock color my 66 I have owned for over 35 years and it was completely restored by me. I do wish that Radar had a question blog because I have some question I would like to ask him. Thanks for the video's that you put out they are great and a big help I'm 72 years old now and still riding a Vespa and loving it
That new fixed-up side stand makes all the difference for many of us. I now use it all the time on my GTS HPE. Wouldn't dare using it on my 2014 GTS. Also, love the new horn cover, the GT/GTS front shield has finally gained a 'smiling face' look. Previously it looked like a Beluga whale head.
Thank you for this informative video! I loved seeing all the features of the bike as well as the locations of all the components. For first time scooter owners who are interested in this model Vespa, this video is an essential watch.
Good Vidge Jeff. Just got the (your) XT500 back on the road!! Yippee! Had the P out last year, time for a change. Thinking of getting the runner engined Lambretta our too. Not been out in almost 15 years!!!! Doh. Hope you are well ole’ fruit. Cool to see you on the vid, and Alex. Next time you are this side of the pond, let me know. Ant.
Thank you for doing this video. They moved oil dipstick to horrible and baffling location. I guess that they don't want anyone checking the oil. The new dipstick location is going to be a boom for your service department! Remember, check the oil when the engine is cold, so you don't burn yourself. My confusion matrix is pretty positive that the 300 color/model matrix is still confusing. Everything else looks good. It's good that you can get the HPR without the LCD screen. A few more horsepower will likely help sales here in the United States. It's interesting that the CVT engagement clutch bearing/fastener no longer go through the side cover.
Dammit! I literality just bought my 2019 GTS Super 300 a week ago! All I really want are the new LED head and tail lights. As soon as my 600mile break in period’s up, I’ll see if I can have my dealer retrofit the headlight and taillight...
i appreciate the features i wish they could redesign the fuel filling cap to be outside for easy access like the tvs wego scooter or tvs jupiter scooter.
I’d like to Wade in on the footwear argument. UK standard is deck shoes. We don’t really wear Birkenstock’s here. 😀 I’ve got the 2019 gts touring. Love it. And I’d love to chav up the exhaust 😀
How is this impressive when it runs very small tires to get on the freeway which is absolutely ridiculous joke and it cost $8000 plus tax when you could buy a much better motorcycle how is that impressive
Great vid as usual, Robot. Thanks, really appreciate it. Have you guys gone full Malossi on one of these HPE motors yet? Can you quantify how the performance was improved? Another six-eight mph on the top end? Quicker off the line? Cost? Thanks again.
Quickest off the start. More torque than older iGet engine. Similar top speed. Price wise, it went few hundys up but you get an overal better bike, not to mention all the cosmetic updates they made on the new HPE model.
It's too bad that all Vespas have cvt transmissions. My 1966 150 had the clutch and four speed on the left grip. Those you could jump start since they were a manual. No battery either on mine. The magneto gave the lights power and it was like having a candle for a headlight. I do miss those days though. Loved your review and I love GB.Spent a lot of time there in my youth.
Thanks for watching. We're also fans of the vintage shifters as well, but there's a time and place for them. When it comes to a reliable, easy daily commuter or long distance touring, the modern Vespa is hard to beat. We love em all!
Yacht club-because I was actually looking at this because I live in Italy and want to have a scooter when I get off my boat in the Virgin Islands. I think That’s why...so now you know.
im in Louisiana//Florida im cheap use random chinese stuff that will go 35mph usually in kilometers 68kmh cause you can barely ever see MPH..last moped was some unknown brand from hialiah Florida (west miami) was $750

2019 vespa gts 300 sport had ABS break problems . if you are going to get one and you are going to use it occasionally. The rear break is the main problem. think twice before getting the gts 300
Gr8 veds all the best I want to ask about vespa sxl150 have you heard about it It's the only available vespa in our market What do u think The gts300 price 11k usd and it's not available The sxl 2.8k usd and its available What do you think about it
I'm trying to find out how good the new TFT is regarding connection etc on the super tech. this video says its not available in us yet, can you help yet ? the app is 1 star on apple
Hi Robot, fantastic video as usual! You keep saying that next video will be about the 75 changes compared with former GTS. Seems you’re still working on....
Hi, just sliding in here as i feel i might have some issues that is related. My HPE supersport is not showing ‘ASR’ every time i turn the ignition on. From what i’ve read, the ASR needs to be shown, once you ride it for a few metres the ASR should not show for it to be activated. Or if it’s deactivated it should show. The problem is it’s not even showing when i start the bike. Tried to press the ASR button for 1 second or whatever the manual has guided me but still nothing shows. Hope to get a reply from anyone thanks!
I have new battery on my GTS300/2010 model, once i stop riding for a week,need to recharge the battery,if keep ridng every few day,no problems.May i know what cause the problems!
Bel servizio Grazie, Sono di Urbino le marche italy possiedo una vespa px del 2015 rossa, Ho visto nel servizio che sta assemblando una vespa px. Sa se la vespa px verrà prodotta 4 tempi da Piaggio? molto gentile se mi risponde. Mille grazie. Gabriele da Urbino
The 300 is already a big bike. It’s pushing it, almost stretching the classic size to the max. It’s a dope design and one of the best Vespa’s for the price. In person it’s noticeably a big scooter. It’s not bad I mean I own one and love it with all my heart.... I seriously can’t imagine how monstrous a 2021 Vespa GTS 500 Extreme would be....
Too much for my pockets to buy im happy with my 2017 tao tao 50cc scooter in silver this is too luxury for me this a Cadillac and Lincoln scooter to all scooters cool video
Just got the latest GTS300 model, would you have a 12v connection alternative for this www.scooterwest.com/gt-gts-gtv-power-plug-in-gray-pair-closeout-gtspp-g.html ? The white alarm connection used for this item is no longer available. I still need a 12V supply for my Garmin zumo 660.
I owned a nice Vespa 150 and often rode a P200. This new machine looks really nice but a review that does not tell us whether the scooter is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, how and where it shifts and if two stroke is it oil injection. The start up sounds 4-stroke but how am I to know. Does the bike still shift by twisting the hand grip and using a manual clutch. You said something about automatic so perhaps that is auto clutch or full automatic transmission. Again, how am I to know. I would love to own the sea foam green!
Vespa speedometers are not off by 10MPH. They are off across the range by about 10%. It’s not that speedometers in European vehicles in general are inaccurate nor does it have anything to do with the metric conversion to miles. It’s rather the result of import regulations that require speedometers to NOT under report speed AT ALL but can be as much as 10% over so to be safe imported vehicles generally will set their speedometers high by the allowed 10% to avoid any problems. So if you get annoyed by people driving 40 in a 45 zone they are probably in an import and think they are going the speed limit while the speedo in your faithful Ford or Chevy is spot on. “What is wrong with this Jerk?” I don’t know why they can’t just get it right.
I live in the mountains and thinking about buying a vespa but someone told me it will be VERY SLOW in the mountains between the canyons, is that right ? any advise, thanks
Very much depends on your country of residence. UK is notorious for it and many countries using salt on roads in winter. In my country for example is a non-issue. Also road surface type and quality plays major contribution there - chip seal surface is particularly bad. The easiest way to alleviate those issues is to mount a front guard shield.
I have the 300, but also ride the 125 (US 150). Hard to tell which one you need. The power of the 125/150 is enough for the city and moderate acceleration. For my purpose the 125 would be absolute enough. But I bought the 300 because wanted the maximum/best Vespa Model, with the best acceleration. But it turned out that my case Its like that you ride sometimes with kind of zero throttle in the city, when traffic is slow. Meaning kind of overpowered all the time. But if you ride outside the city more often than 100% go with 300. If you just need a nice, bit faster city scooter choose 125/150!
@@ear2thestreet The biggest problem here in South Africa is that 150 starts at $7669.59 (WTF) Are there no way to buy where its cheaper and import? DE Vespa garage starts at 3500 euro. Thanks for your advice.

Good to see they have ‘fixed’ the side stand!
Dave D - I wonder if it can be retro-fitted, albeit without the inhibitor switch?

Exactly!! Does not make much sense here in the US as people don't drive Vespas daily, but it is a must have in Rome or Milano :)

Great review and a cool scooter, but how about rust issues lots of people complain about?
I’ve had 3 with no rust?
i bet the spark plugs still a pain to get to had to do so many services on them over the years be nice if they made them a bit easier
Install iridium spark plugs when it is time to change the originals. They last practically forever.

Hmm, no thank you. Vespa wheels have sweet slot 10 - 12". Anything larger and it's a moped.
Beautiful Vespa. Have they sorted the rust issues?
82 mph sweet
Got a question, how do you change the main headlight bulb on the 300HPE
On many scooters and motorcycles you can't, you have to change the whole headlamp unit.

anything on the rusting issues for the new vespas? been hearing a lot about how it rusts easily in the bottom frame.
Very much depends on your country of residence. UK is notorious for it and many countries using salt on roads in winter. In my country for example is a non-issue. Also road surface type and quality plays major contribution there - chip seal surface is particularly bad.
The easiest way to alleviate those issues is to mount a front guard shield.
