La Vespa GTS 125 a été introduite en 2006 dans le cadre de la gamme GTS (Gran Turismo Sport) moderne de Piaggio, relançant la formule classique de la Vespa à grande carrosserie grâce à une ingénierie contemporaine. Il partage son design rétro-moderne élégant avec les plus grandes variantes GTS 250/300 et a fait l'objet de plusieurs mises à jour, notamment l'introduction du moteur i-get à 3 soupapes plus raffiné en 2016. Il reste l'un des scooters 125 cc les plus vendus en Europe, prisé pour son design italien emblématique, sa qualité de fabrication et sa praticité pour les déplacements urbains.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.
Générations et spécifications par année
Le GTS 125 original a été lancé avec un moteur 4 temps de 125 cm3, un style moderne basé sur le design classique de la Vespa.
"Les 125 dollars les plus stylés que l'on puisse acheter, à peine."
J'ai piloté une GTS 125 2009 tous les jours pendant huit mois dans une ville européenne de taille moyenne, et ce qui compte en premier, ce n'est pas la performance, mais la confiance que dégage la moto. Les gens s'arrêtent vraiment et regardent. Sur la route, le moteur quatre temps de 125 cm3 est souple et maniable en ville. Il fonctionne parfaitement à bas régime, mais vous ressentirez ses limites dès que vous empruntez une route à deux voies ; 100 km/h, c'est le plafond, pas une vitesse de croisière. Le châssis monocoque en acier et les freins couplés sont confortables et rassurants sur les pavés et les voies de tramway mouillées, où les scooters les moins chers tremblent. Cela dit, 138 kg, c'est beaucoup dans un parking restreint à plusieurs étages, et si vous le faites tomber, ce qui finit par arriver, les factures de réparation feront vraiment mal.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
