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.
De Vespa GTS 300 Super werd in 2008 geïntroduceerd als onderdeel van Piaggio's moderne GTS-serie, voortbouwend op het iconische erfgoed van Vespa-scooters dat teruggaat tot 1946. In 2017 werd de motor aanzienlijk geüpgraded met de introductie van de 300 cc-motor van HPE (High Performance Engine), waardoor het vermogen werd verhoogd en de brandstofinspuiting werd verfijnd. Het blijft wereldwijd een van de best verkochte scooters met grote cilinderinhoud, bekend om de combinatie van klassieke Italiaanse styling met moderne prestaties en technologie.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Eerste lancering van de GTS 300 Super; 278cc viertaktmotor met brandstofinjectie, ABS optioneel, klassieke Vespa-styling.
"De scooter die je twee keer laat kijken."
Na 18 maanden en ongeveer 12.000 km op de GTS 300 kan ik je vertellen dat dit de meest vertrouwenwekkende scooter van 300 cc is die ik ooit in het stadsverkeer heb gereden. De brandstofinjectie is naadloos, het gaspedaal reageert scherp en die single van 278 cc trekt hard genoeg om comfortabel te zitten op de snelweg van 100 km/u zonder het gevoel te hebben dat hij om genade smeekt. De chromen details en de carrosserie van geperst staal zijn geen nostalgisch aas; ze houden echt stand, en de kwaliteitskloof tussen deze en elke plastic Aziatische rivaal is duidelijk zodra je hem aanraakt. Dat gezegd hebbende, 158 kg is het werkelijke gewicht dat je voelt als je hem uit een krappe parkeerplaats loopt, en de opbergruimte onder de stoel is bijna beledigend klein voor zo'n dure machine. Optioneel ABS was een slimme zet in 2008, maar had vanaf dag één standaard moeten zijn — alleen al de basisremmen zorgen ervoor dat je op een nat kasseistje al rimpelt.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
