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.
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
what are the spares that you carry,like spark plug or fuel pump etc.
@@eugeneteo9664 never bother with any spares, just a tyre repair kit, they really are bullet proof and spares are readily available all over europe
Would you say vespas are safer than most motorbikes?
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)..;
Terrific review Jamie, always nice when a really experienced reviewer admits he ‘gets’ scooters without all the macho bullshit. Respect. ✊🏻
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!
@@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? :)
@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.
I'm picking my 2022 gts 300 up next week; it just came to the store yesterday.
@@ronburhans5788 Cool, I am getting close as well but wondering if you think my 5’4” daughter will be tall enough to ride it?
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.
Loved your review of the 500X. Had one!! Now this yes!! I have a 2018 Vespa 300 GTS...parked in my house. Italian art. So beautiful. Besides of Bonneville... best 2 wheel heal'n ever!!!!
Brilliant review! I’m more a sports bike guy but.... I’m seriously considering buying one of these!
I have a GTS 300 2023 and I just want to ride it everywhere. It's a beautiful machine you love to ride. ❤ Vespa 🛵
Twist go twist go!! Love that line
Surprisingly versatile and incredibly useful... Buy one and you'll find yourself spending more time on it than off it. Yes, they are that good! :)
No other bike puts a smile on my face as the vespa do. And i own a 94 Africa Twin, 2017 1200 Multistrada and a 94 vespa pk 50!!
Good video! I appreciate that you took the time to detail all of the specifications. There are so many lazy TH-camrs out there that just talk about motorcycles in subjective terms that can't really be measured or understood. Nicely done man. Ride safe.
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.
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 :)
I love my GTS 300!!!!
I've secretly always wanted a vintage vespa two-stroke but the macho side of me has never pulled the trigger. Lol.
I've got one in the garage alongside an HRC built supermotard and a 1290 equipped KTM (to name two).The only thing people who ride notice is how you ride, not what.
Best thing i have ever brought
My fiancé wants the 150 so bad. She almost bought one a few months ago too
I live in LA and am thinking of purchasing one of these. Any recommendation as to which Vespa dealer to visit? Thank you!
I would love to hear your opinion on the new refined Royal Enfield Himalayan 2021!
you didnt mention the problem of spilling the petrol when topping up.
I was looking at that windshield, it looks really small does it help tho?
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.
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
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.
This is Supertech model being reviewed,it comes with a digital display all other models of the gts come with a anologue display and are a bit cheaper.
Is there any major difference between the two?
@@googleprofile6660 MP3 controls on the headset, turn by turn on the speedo, that's about it.
@@TheCerealHobbyist So not really worth it
@@googleprofile6660 I mean, if you do a phone mount for turn by turn, probably not. I'm a technophile and didn't go for it. I just use Android auto, have a phone mount, and have Bluetooth in my helmet.
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.
Is there any way to de restrict them???
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.
Good stuff bro
Appreciate it
Still like the looks of of the 60s and earlier designs more, but it's better than the blocky late 70s-80s models.
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 ✌
Hole shot .. Definitely You can !!

la strumentazione del super tech dovrebbe essere disponibile in tutti i colori come optional
What fuel consumption do you get?
Pretty.
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
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!
@@edwardpurkis6432 it does not wallow at all it corners better than stock
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
Soo what happens when it reaches it max miles??
Wish you would show the scooter .
More scooter reviews would be nice...
Please video the Kawasaki 650 s custom
and the fantastic food????? i can´t belive a video from motogeo without a really tasty burguer...
Must have been cut out from this review. This is the bike he did the burger challenge on :)
@Liberty Tree thanks for explanation. It was a little joke.
How about doing a review of a Yamaha XMAX 300 scooter? They are great, I have Vespa 300 and a XMAX 300.
Which one you like better? I am having a hard time choosing between the two.😫
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.
How's things there Jamie ?
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.
👍🏻
fun
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
luggage rack(s) make all the difference for needy things
Much prefer my scooter for errand running and back road exploring.
New?
👍🏼🍻🍻🍻💪🏼👏🏼
The stang in the beginning
The analog cluster looks better.
*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...!"*
I wouldn't dream of getting my Duke 390 out to go into town. I always ride in on my Aerox 155 scooter, which has 14'' wheels. I wouldn't want to ride quickly on 12'' ones.

I never tried the Vespa, but I really want to.
Try the Honda or Yamaha scooters, you'll probably be a lot happier, unless you specifically want to be part of the Vespa lifestyle.
@@Visionery1I already have a Suzuki Burgman, and used to have a Yamaha Majesty...but I always kind of wanted to try out a Vespa.
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.
No steel frame. Monocoque construction.
Yes they are a steel frame,the only plastic on them is the trim.
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.

Wow...
300cc
Tapi spare parts mahal nak mampos😅
Tak mahal pun. Pergi kat dealer memang lah mahal.
@@atengku9660
Rear brake cable sahaja rm90😂
Utk modern Vespa
Blum harga belting lagi ✌️😂
@@theriderdtm8650 Hehe. Bukannya tukar selalu pun. Follow ig @xafix untuk servis vespa yang berpatutan.
Brother were you born in 1992?
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.
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
@@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.👍
Honda has no style, Vespa does.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Pity they don't make them in plastic cos in britain they rust like crazy baby
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 .
About $3k over priced. Better go with like Honda CB500x
Who shops a Vespa scooter vs a pseudo adventure bike?
DRAG that side stand, it sucks anyway.
Windschild ist 👎
Triumph Trident would be better
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.
