    great overview Steve & Robot. Wouldn't have noticed the new front grill - definite improvement. Seat space increase was overdue.

    Enjoy your video, now in 2021 I've just bought the new Vespa 300 hpe, glad you mentioned the way the track control won't allow scooter to be reved high when its on the stand. A good safety feature.

    I bought a brand new GTS300ie largely based upon your review of this latest bike. I'm not disappointed, it's better than I could ever have hoped for. So good is this bike that I've sold my big bikes and use the GTS as my sole machine. And best of all, it's the most fun you can have on two wheels!

    There's plenty of Vespas in Madrid, people love them here, if you need to get stuff done around the city this is the right tool, I've owned two already and I found out that ABS on bikes over 125cc would became mandatory in the EU so I waited for this to come out. Great review.

    One thing I'd like to ask. Can the new suspension be retrofitted to the 2013 supersport? Changing the hub and shock would it be possible? Thanks in advance.

  • @dphotos007
    @dphotos007 Před 9 lety

    I like the new model. The things I do not like is the red color backlight on the instrument panel and I wish a full face helmet would fit under the seat plus I wish the usb connection was near the instrument plane so it would be easier to plug in a smart phone on the left handle bar.

  • @c7uk
    @c7uk Před 5 lety

    Hmmm, so now in 2019, if I’m to buy a used GTS to commute with, would you recommend the 2015 over the 2014? I hadn’t realised that’s when the ABS was introduced.

  • @kwestak

    Very nice movie - great comparison.
    I'd like to add in Europe the GTS comes with different chrome mirrors and turn indicators which are all LCD combined with white running lights... Is it the US legislation that stopped Piaggio to use those on US market?

    How is the 300 on long trips on the highway/ Interstates with sustained speeds of around 60-70 MPH? Can over tax the motor or drive train?

    • @VespaMotorsport
      @VespaMotorsport  Před 9 lety +1

      The 300s are excellent on the freeway. They can keep up with traffic and handle beautifully...even more so now with the redesigned front suspension on the ABS model. Throw on a small windscreen and some racks and you've got a bonafide touring bike. Cruising at 60-70 for long periods is no problem for the motor...as long as you're not wide open all the time and keep up on service schedules.

      Whats the difference between the 2015 300 GTS super and the 300 Super Sport? or is it the same bike?

    • @VespaMotorsport
      @VespaMotorsport  Před 9 lety +1

      It's virtually the same bike. The only difference is the trim package. The Super Sport comes in a matte black with side decals and a pleated seat.

      So if the front suspension was greatly improved on the 2015 gts, how come they've changed it back to the 2014 style on the 2017 models?

    It’s an old video but I’m an old git! I’ve had both, an early one and a 2015 which I have now. Personally I think the earlier model was quicker and more fluid in acceleration. The traction control on a 300 automatic transmission scooter is bloody useless! And it’s caused me to loose out at the traffic lights to cars, not because I’ve spun the rear wheel but because it’s over sensitive to tyre pressure, or weight of the rider. Yes you can turn it off but the moment you turn off it defaults back to on. It’s a stupid piece of crap.
    Abs, welcome, I won’t call that. However the dashboard is more attractive but as I’m getting older I find reading it hard

      Luis Alvarado Any of the 300s make great commuters. A lot of people that work here at the shop ride 300s on the freeway daily. Depending how long your commute is, you might also look at the Piaggio BV350.

    My 2015 has front end wobble at most speeds and tires have has been balanced and aligned... And the speedometer isn't accurate. Suggestion? Replace shocks...really. Purchased last year, not from Scootwest, only 500 miles

    • @VespaMotorsport
      @VespaMotorsport  Před 4 lety

      Do you happen to have a top case or rack on the rear? We've noticed the wobble is increased quite a bit when you add any weight behind the rear wheel. You could try adding some bar end weights to calm it down a little bit...

    • @JohnDoe-ub8fq
      @JohnDoe-ub8fq Před 4 lety

      @@VespaMotorsport I do have a top case and the heavier weights. If that truly is the problem, that is a 100% Vespa design flaw. I've been on many forums and it's a common issue, even without the top case. I was thinking about getting a windscreen, but no way now.

    Hey guys so I'm thinking of buying a Vespa in about a year or so when i can save up some more money. What do you think I should get if I'm a city university kid that really spends all of his time in an urban environment. A Primavera 150 or spend a couple more grand on the GTS 300 (not super or anything).

    • @VespaMotorsport
      @VespaMotorsport  Před 9 lety

      ***** We'd probably recommend any of the 150 models (Primavera or Sprint). They're perfect for zipping through traffic and getting around town. You could even hop on the freeway in most areas for a few exits. They'll do just about anything you'd need them to do. The 300s are nice, but unless you're doing a lot of long distance or higher speed riding, it may be overkill. Thanks!

    • @thesuperjohn57
      @thesuperjohn57 Před 9 lety

      Thank you so much for the response, but might I ask what the differences are between the Primavera 150 and Sprint 150 are? Thanks again!

    • @VespaMotorsport
      @VespaMotorsport  Před 9 lety

      The main difference is the wheel size. The Sprint has 12" wheels and the Primavera has 11". The Sprint may offer slightly better top speed cruising, but the motors are exactly the same. The only other differences are the obvious cosmetic changes. Hope this helps!
