Vespa Gts 250
The Vespa GTS 250 was introduced in 2005 as a modern evolution of the classic Vespa scooter, featuring a fuel-injected 244cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine — a significant upgrade over earlier two-stroke models. It was notable for being one of the first large-displacement Vespa scooters to meet Euro 3 emissions standards while retaining the iconic retro styling the brand is famous for. The GTS 250 was eventually succeeded by the GTS 300 around 2008-2009, but it established the GTS line as Vespa's flagship premium urban scooter.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission belt is a known wear item that should be inspected every 8,000–10,000 miles. Neglected belts can snap unexpectedly, leaving you stranded and causing secondary damage.
Strong Resale Value
Vespas hold their value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, with used GTS 250 models often selling at 60–75% of original MSRP even after several years. The iconic brand name drives consistent demand in urban markets.
Unique Unitized Steel Body
Unlike most scooters with plastic bodywork, the GTS 250 features an all-steel monocoque frame and body, making it more durable in minor impacts but also more expensive to repair if panels are dented or scratched.
