Vespa Gts 300
The Vespa Gts 300 has a top speed of 123 km/h, produces 23.7 hp and weighs 170 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
La Vespa GTS 300 se presentó en 2008 como el modelo insignia de la icónica línea de scooters Vespa de Piaggio, con un motor monocilíndrico de cuatro tiempos y 278 cc. Se sometió a una importante actualización en 2017 con la introducción de la variante HPE (motor de alto rendimiento), que aumentó la potencia e incorporó una electrónica moderna, como el control de tracción y el ABS. Sigue siendo uno de los scooters de gran cilindrada más vendidos en Europa, famoso por combinar el estilo clásico de una Vespa italiana con un rendimiento y una tecnología modernos.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Strong Long-Term Reliability
The GTS 300 uses a proven single-cylinder 278cc HPE engine that regularly surpasses 50,000 miles with proper maintenance. Consistent oil changes every 3,000 miles are key to keeping it running strong.
Watch for Electrical Gremlins
Some owners report intermittent issues with the fuel injection system and dashboard electronics, particularly on pre-2019 models. Always test all electronics thoroughly before buying used.
Holds Value Exceptionally Well
The Vespa GTS 300 retains resale value better than almost any other scooter, often selling used at 70-80% of its original price due to the iconic brand and consistent demand. Low-mileage examples are especially sought after.

Introdujo el motor monocilíndrico de 4 tiempos y 278 cc, ABS opcional, inyección de combustible y debut con el estilo moderno del GTS.
"El patinete que te hace olvidar que estás en un patinete."
Recorrí casi 8000 km con un GTS 300 del 2010 durante dos años de viajes urbanos y viajes de fin de semana, y el sencillo de 278 cc con inyección de combustible me impresionó de verdad: una respuesta nítida del acelerador al ralentí, sin problemas de asfixia y suficiente tracción de media distancia como para avergonzar a los conductores desatentos de los semáforos. Conducir a 100 km/h es más sereno que aterrador, aunque los últimos 15 km/h hasta alcanzar la supuesta velocidad máxima requieren una larga recta y una oración. Gracias a su chasis monocasco totalmente de acero y a la geometría adecuada de la suspensión, su maniobrabilidad es inigualable, ya que lleva el emblema de Piaggio: toma curvas con total confianza, no con la vaguedad de las máquinas CVT más baratas. Lo que más perjudica es el elevado precio y el espacio de almacenamiento bajo el asiento, que parece generoso hasta que intentas meter un casco integral en él.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The classiest, most capable urban scooter money can buy used."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe GTS 300 is genuinely one of the best urban tools you can buy used, but go in with your eyes open. The HPE engine introduced in 2019 transformed this thing — smoother, stronger, and finally feels like it belongs on a proper road rather than just darting between coffee shops. Pre-2019 bikes aren't bad, just noticeably lazier above 60mph. Either way, build quality is excellent and these things last forever if maintained. What kills used GTS values are neglected service intervals and cosmetic damage — Vespa bodywork repairs are eye-wateringly expensive at dealers. Inspect every panel carefully and budget for a full service if records are patchy. The ABS models post-2014 are worth the premium. Mechanically they're robust, but electrical gremlins appear on higher-mileage examples, particularly around instrument clusters. Don't let that scare you off — just factor it in.
