Vespa Gts 250 Review
"A premium used scooter that rewards buyers who inspect carefully."
Key Specs
Used Buyer Review
The 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.
