Is the Vespa GTS 300 the best scooter to buy?
It may not be perfect but the GTS 300 is still the best long distance retro styled scooter you can buy, without a doubt. In 2015 it was also the best selling machine in the UK in the 126-300cc category with 956 units being shifted. If ever a 350 did arrive, expect the market to be swamped with hundreds of used 300’s.

When did Vespa GTS 300 ABS / ASR come out?
The last update to this mile-munching scooter came in 2014 and we were at the launch in Italy. The ‘facelift model’ included an ABS/ASR option, (that’s Anti Lock Brakes and Assisted Slip Reduction; which is a posh acronym for traction control).
Where does the Vespa GTS 300 Sei giorni come from?
Speaking of the trims available, the Vespa GTS 300 Sei Giorni I’ve been blasting around on is styled after the Squadra Corse scooters that entered the 26th Sei Giorni Internazionale enduro race in Varese, Italy in 1951. That is, of course, the race widely known as the ISDE in many off-road circles these days.
What’s the top speed of a Piaggio GTS 300?
The 300 charges away from the lights and pulls strongly up to 70mph, then keeps going to just over 80mph, which is much the same top speed as the 250 version, but it gets there a lot quicker. The Vespa GTS 300 Super is a top-of-the-range machine and has the equipment to live up to that billing.

What’s the difference between the GTS 250 and 300?
The dash has a more informative digital screen. It’s a definite improvement over the old GTS 300 clocks but still not as useful as the GTS 250 dash. There is, however, an optional extra that will please gadget freaks; it’s called Vespa Multimedia Platform, or VMP for short.
How does the Vespa app work on a scooter?
There is, however, an optional extra that will please gadget freaks; it’s called Vespa Multimedia Platform, or VMP for short. VMP allows you to mount your Smartphone on the mirror stem and connect a phone to your scooter via Bluetooth. The app then gives you a virtual dashboard with dials for speed, torque, acceleration, lean angle etc.
