Vespa Gts 300 Super
The Vespa Gts 300 Super has a top speed of 128 km/h, produces 24 hp and weighs 170 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
La Vespa GTS 300 Super a été introduite en 2008 dans le cadre de la gamme GTS moderne de Piaggio, s'appuyant sur l'héritage emblématique des scooters Vespa datant de 1946. Il a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à niveau du moteur en 2017 avec l'introduction de l'unité HPE (High Performance Engine) de 300 cm3, qui a permis d'augmenter la puissance et d'améliorer l'injection de carburant. Il reste l'un des scooters de grande cylindrée les plus vendus au monde, réputé pour son mélange de style italien classique avec des performances et une technologie modernes.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission belt is a known wear item that should be inspected every 8,000–10,000 miles. Neglecting it can lead to sudden power loss or costly drivetrain damage.
Strong Resale Value
The GTS 300 holds its value exceptionally well compared to most scooters, often retaining 70–80% of its value after two years. The Vespa brand prestige and limited depreciation make it a smart buy.
ABS & Traction Control Standard
The Super trim comes equipped with both ABS and ASR traction control as standard features, which is rare in the scooter segment. This significantly improves safety in wet or slippery conditions.

"La trottinette qui vous fait regarder à deux fois."
Après 18 mois et environ 12 000 km parcourus sur le GTS 300, je peux vous dire que c'est le scooter 300 cm3 le plus inspirant confiance que j'ai piloté dans la circulation urbaine : l'injection de carburant est fluide, la réponse de l'accélérateur est nette et ce moteur de 278 cm3 tire suffisamment fort pour me permettre de rouler confortablement à 100 km/h sur l'autoroute sans avoir l'impression de demander grâce. Les détails chromés et la carrosserie en acier pressé ne sont pas un appât à la nostalgie ; ils tiennent vraiment le coup, et l'écart de qualité entre ce modèle et ses concurrents asiatiques en plastique est évident dès que vous le touchez. Cela dit, 158 kg, c'est le poids réel que vous ressentez chaque fois que vous sortez d'une place de stationnement restreinte, et l'espace de rangement sous le siège est presque insultant pour une machine aussi chère. L'ABS optionnel était une bonne idée en 2008, mais il aurait dû être de série dès le premier jour : les freins de base à eux seuls vous feront craquer sur un pavé mouillé.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The definitive premium urban scooter if you can afford the upkeep."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe GTS 300 Super is genuinely the benchmark urban scooter, and used examples are everywhere right now — which means you can be picky. The HPE engine introduced around 2019 transformed this thing from competent to genuinely quick, pulling hard enough to embarrass some small motorcycles off the line. Build quality is exceptional for the class; these things age beautifully if the previous owner wasn't an idiot about servicing. Here's what to check before handing over cash: look hard at the front suspension for wear, inspect the exhaust headers for rust near the manifold joints, and always verify the CVT service history. Neglected variators get expensive fast. The ABS system is solid but verify it activates correctly — a cheap test that saves headaches. Pre-2019 carbureted versions are fine commuters but feel noticeably lazier. Realistically, you're buying premium Italian engineering with genuine prestige attached. It's not cheap to maintain, parts can take weeks to arrive, and dealer networks outside major cities are thin. Go in clear-eyed about running costs.
