Piaggio Vespa Gts 300

The Piaggio Vespa Gts 300 has a top speed of 123 km/h, produces 24 hp and weighs 170 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

La Vespa GTS 300 se presentó en 2008 como el buque insignia de la moderna línea Vespa de Piaggio, sustituyendo a la GTS 250 y trayendo el motor más grande jamás instalado en un scooter Vespa en ese momento. Se sometió a una importante actualización en 2019 con la introducción de la variante HPE (motor de alto rendimiento), que incluía un nuevo motor monocilíndrico de 300 cc con una potencia mejorada y compatible con la norma Euro 5. Sigue siendo uno de los scooters de gran cilindrada más vendidos del mundo, famoso por combinar el estilo italiano clásico con el rendimiento y la tecnología modernos.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

⚙️

Strong Resale Value

The Vespa GTS 300 holds its value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, often retaining 70-80% of its value after 3 years. Its iconic brand status and timeless design make it consistently in demand on the used market.

⚠️

Watch the Cooling Fan

A known issue on the GTS 300 is the cooling fan relay failing, which can cause the engine to overheat in stop-and-go traffic. It's an inexpensive fix but worth inspecting on any used example before purchase.

🛵

Advanced Tech Standard

The GTS 300 HPE (High Performance Engine) model features traction control, ABS, and a ride-by-wire throttle system — rare features typically reserved for much larger motorcycles. This makes it one of the most technologically advanced scooters in its class.

Reseña de un comprador usado

8.0/10
Lo mejor para
Urban commuters wanting style and genuine performance

"The scooter that makes proper motorcyclists quietly jealous."

$4,500-$7,500 used

The GTS 300 is genuinely one of the best urban two-wheelers money can buy used, and I say that as someone who's spent time on proper motorcycles. The HPE engine (post-2019 bikes especially) pulls hard enough to embarrass stoplight warriors, and that single-sided front suspension actually handles better than it has any right to. Build quality is Italian, meaning the chrome and paint age beautifully but electrical gremlins are absolutely a thing — budget for that upfront. Used examples pile up mileage fast because owners actually ride them daily, which is either reassuring or a red flag depending on service history. Check the variator rollers and belt religiously — neglected CVT maintenance is the silent killer here. Pre-2019 carb models are cheaper but thirstier and slower; the fuel-injected HPE is worth the premium. Avoid anything with front fork knocks or weeping fork seals, as parts aren't cheap. Bottom line: find a dealer-serviced example with receipts and you're buying something that'll outlast most motorcycles in the urban jungle.
