Vespa Gts 125
The Vespa Gts 125 has a top speed of 100 km/h, produces 9.9 hp and weighs 139 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
La Vespa GTS 125 se presentó en 2006 como parte de la moderna línea GTS (Gran Turismo Sport) de Piaggio, reviviendo la fórmula clásica de las Vespa de carrocería grande con una ingeniería contemporánea. Comparte su elegante diseño retromoderno con las variantes más grandes del GTS 250/300 y ha sido objeto de varias actualizaciones, incluida la introducción del motor i-get de 3 válvulas, más refinado, en 2016. Sigue siendo uno de los scooters de 125 cc más vendidos en Europa y es apreciado por su icónico diseño italiano, su calidad de construcción y su practicidad para los desplazamientos urbanos.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Strong Resale Value
Vespa GTS 125s hold their value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, often retaining 60-70% of their original price after 3 years. The iconic Vespa brand name drives consistent demand in the used market.
Watch for Carburetor Issues
Older GTS 125 models with the two-stroke or early four-stroke engines are prone to carburetor clogging if left unused for extended periods. Always check for smooth idling and ask about recent servicing before buying used.
All-Steel Monocoque Body
Unlike most modern scooters built with plastic bodywork, the GTS 125 features a genuine all-steel body that resists cracking and ages more gracefully. This contributes directly to its long-term durability and premium feel.

"Los 125 más elegantes que se pueden comprar con dinero, apenas."
He pilotado una GTS 125 del 2009 todos los días durante ocho meses en una ciudad europea de tamaño medio, y lo que más llama la atención no es el rendimiento, sino la confianza que proyecta la moto. La gente se detiene de verdad y mira. En carretera, la moto de cuatro tiempos y 125 cc es suave y manejable en la ciudad, ya que arranca sin problemas a bajas revoluciones, pero notarás sus limitaciones en cuanto te encuentres en una autovía: 100 km/h es el límite máximo, no un crucero. El chasis monocasco de acero y los frenos articulados dan la sensación de estabilidad en adoquines y vías de tranvía mojadas, donde los patinetes más baratos se ponen nerviosos. Dicho esto, 138 kg es mucho peso en un aparcamiento estrecho de varias plantas y, si se te cae (lo que ocurre con el tiempo), las facturas de reparación se verán realmente perjudicadas.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The most stylish way to navigate city traffic on 125cc."
$2,500-$5,500 usedLet's be straight — the GTS 125 is a fashion accessory that also happens to move. And honestly? There's nothing wrong with that. The build quality on these things is genuinely impressive for a scooter; steel body panels, solid switchgear, and that rotary gear selector feels properly Italian. Snag a 2014-onwards model and you're getting fuel injection, which makes cold starts a non-issue and improves reliability considerably over the older carb units. The elephant in the room is performance, obviously. That 125cc single pushes maybe 10-11bhp, so motorway riding is a white-knuckle fantasy rather than a realistic commute. Stick to city work and A-roads under 50mph and it's genuinely charming — the ride quality surprises you, steering is intuitive, and you'll spend half your time answering questions about it at traffic lights. Maintenance costs are the real sting though. Piaggio dealer labour rates are brutal, and these need regular attention to stay clean. Budget properly or buy from someone who actually serviced it.
