Vespa Gtv 300
The Vespa Gtv 300 has a top speed of 115 km/h, produces 21.4 hp and weighs 160 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
La Vespa GTV 300 fue presentada por Piaggio en 2006 como parte de la familia GTS/GTV, y la variante de motor de 300 cc llegó alrededor de 2008-2009, lo que representa el scooter Vespa más potente de la gama moderna. El GTV (Gran Turismo Vintage) se distingue del GTS por su estilo retro inspirado en las Vespas clásicas de la década de 1960, que incluye una góndola redondeada para los faros delanteros, espejos en forma de lágrima y distintivos vintage. Destaca por ser uno de los patinetes de gran cilindrada más potentes y de mayor calidad de la historia de Vespa, ya que combina la moderna tecnología de inyección de combustible y ABS con la icónica herencia del diseño italiano.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Reliable Fuel-Injected Engine
The GTV 300 uses a proven 278cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine that requires minimal maintenance and delivers consistent performance. With proper servicing every 3,000–4,000 miles, owners report engines lasting well beyond 30,000 miles.
Watch the CVT Belt
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) drive belt is a known wear item that should be inspected every 8,000 miles and replaced around 12,000–15,000 miles. A neglected belt can snap unexpectedly, leaving you stranded and causing secondary damage.
Strong Resale Value
Vespa's iconic brand recognition and the GTV 300's retro styling help it hold resale value significantly better than most scooters — often retaining 60–70% of its value after three years. Limited production numbers compared to mainstream models also support higher used pricing.
Generaciones y especificaciones por año
Introdujo el motor monocilíndrico de 4 tiempos y 278 cc, estilo GTV retro, inyección de combustible y conformidad con la norma Euro 2/3.
"La moto más bonita que el dinero podría comprar, en su mayoría."
La GTV 300 es realmente impresionante en su metal: la Vespa clavó los detalles cromados, los paneles de la carrocería tipo alforja y la silueta de Audrey Hepburn de una manera que hace que la gente te detenga en los semáforos. En carretera, el motor QUASAR funciona con suavidad a bajas revoluciones y la CVT se adapta perfectamente al ritmo urbano, aunque por encima de los 90 km/h se queda notablemente sin aliento y las rampas de acceso a las autopistas requieren paciencia. La combinación de un solo disco delantero y tambor trasero es apropiada para la época, pero es decepcionante en condiciones húmedas, y el chasis monocasco de acero transmite las imperfecciones de la carretera más de lo que cabría esperar de una máquina de 161 kg. Los costes de propiedad son un problema: el mantenimiento en el concesionario es caro, las piezas no son baratas, y los primeros sistemas de inyección de combustible generaban dudas al arrancar en frío, algo que Vespa tardó en reconocer.
Pros
Contras
Se actualizó para cumplir con la norma Euro 4, se revisó el mapa de inyección de combustible, se realizaron pequeñas actualizaciones estéticas y se mejoró el sistema de frenos ABS.
Refinamientos del motor que cumplen con la normativa Euro 5, electrónica actualizada, ajuste revisado de la suspensión e instrumentación modernizada.
Reseña de un comprador usado
"Buy the best example you can find and enjoy every mile."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe GTV 300 is Vespa's fashion statement wearing a motorcycle price tag, and honestly? It earns most of that premium. The 278cc single pulls smoothly through town and holds 70mph on the highway without drama, though it starts breathing hard above that. Build quality is genuinely impressive — cast aluminum bodywork, quality switchgear, and that gorgeous retro chrome work holds up beautifully on well-maintained examples. It rides on a proper steel monocoque frame, not cheap plastic like most scoots, and you feel that solidity immediately. Buying used, inspect the body panels obsessively — they're expensive to replace and owners treat these as fashion accessories, not tools. Check the automatic transmission fluid history and look for jerky low-speed engagement, a sign of neglect. The CVT belt needs replacing every 12,000 miles and many previous owners skip it. Also budget for the dealer-only service schedule; independent mechanics avoid them.
