Vespa Gts 300 Super Tech Review
"The classiest, priciest urban scooter you'll actually never regret."
Key Specs
Used Buyer Review
The GTS 300 Super Tech is genuinely one of the best urban two-wheelers money can buy used, but go in with eyes open. The 278cc single punches harder than you'd expect — 23bhp feels livelier than the spec sheet suggests, and that ASR traction control actually earns its keep on wet cobbles. The keyless ignition and smartphone connectivity on later models are genuinely useful, not gimmicks. Built quality is exceptional; Italian assembly on these is tight. Here's where it gets honest though — maintenance costs bite. Dealer servicing is expensive and independent scooter shops sometimes won't touch the electronics. Check the ABS pump carefully, it's a known weak point on pre-2019 models. Tyres are pricey non-standard sizes. The underseat storage is laughably small for a machine this sophisticated. Inspect the frame around the footboard area for corrosion, especially on bikes used year-round. Final drives on high-mileage examples can whine. Buy one under 15,000 miles with full Vespa dealer history and you'll be laughing.
