Vespa Gts 250
The Vespa Gts 250 has a top speed of 115 km/h, produces 22 hp and weighs 156 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La Vespa GTS 250 se presentó en 2005 como una evolución moderna del scooter Vespa clásico, con un motor monocilíndrico de cuatro tiempos de 244 cc con inyección de combustible, una mejora significativa con respecto a los modelos anteriores de dos tiempos. Se destacó por ser uno de los primeros patinetes Vespa de gran cilindrada que cumplía con los estándares de emisiones Euro 3 y, al mismo tiempo, conservaba el icónico estilo retro por el que la marca es famosa. El GTS 250 fue reemplazado finalmente por el GTS 300 entre 2008 y 2009, pero estableció la línea GTS como el patinete urbano premium insignia de Vespa.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
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.

"El scooter que hizo que valiera la pena tomarse en serio los scooters."
Recorrí unos 8.000 km con una GTS 250 del 2007 y realmente cambió mi forma de pensar sobre la conducción urbana de pequeña cilindrada: la inyección de combustible arranca con nitidez todas las mañanas, la entrega de potencia es lo suficientemente suave como para sentir confianza al filtrar el tráfico y ese chasis monocasco de acero telegrafia la carretera sin golpearte. Los 22 caballos son suficientes para sentarse cómodamente a 100 km/h en carreteras mixtas, aunque las autopistas de más de 110 km/h convierten todo en un trago que vibra contra cualquier viento en contra. El peso es un problema honesto del que nadie habla: 156 kg son muy pesados para lo que son, y las maniobras de aparcamiento a baja velocidad siempre lo recuerdan. Aun así, el ABS opcional, el almacenamiento bajo el asiento donde cabría un casco integral y la calidad de construcción que avergüenza a la mayoría de los competidores japoneses justifican cada euro del sobreprecio.
Pros
Contras
Refinaciones menores, mapeo de inyección de combustible actualizado, paleta de colores revisada, ajuste mejorado de la suspensión.
Cumplimiento actualizado de emisiones, cumplimiento de las normas Euro 3, actualizaciones menores de estética e instrumentación.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"A premium used scooter that rewards buyers who inspect carefully."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe GTS 250 is genuinely one of the better-built scooters you'll find used, but you need to know what you're walking into. The ie (fuel-injected) versions from 2008 onward are noticeably smoother than the carbed early models — hunt for those. Mechanically, the single-cylinder four-stroke is tough as old boots. What kills these on the used market is neglect: check the variator rollers, rear brake shoes (they wear invisibly), and look hard at the frame underbelly for crash damage that's been touched up with rattle can.
