i watched the whole vid never too much rambling! keep the vids coming sir

I have the 2009 GTS 300 with 18000 miles. It was great that you took us through the various generations. Not much has changed really apart from some safety features and as you said "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Still waiting for your personal collection video. 👍🤖

I have a 2010 white GTS 300 super with 22k km. I love it!

Excellent overview! This straight forward summary really helps you know what you are buying. Thanks.

I keep coming back for a refresher on this as I am shopping...

Another well made video with tons of good info for a geek like me..I'm content now I had my Vespa fix for the day ha!! Thanks Robot!

I have a 2012 GTV300. Absolutely love it. Has under 900 miles on it. Hopefully I’ll be getting a 2021 soon.

I just switch from a red 250cc 2009 gts to a 300cc 2011 mat titanium super sport with few KMs. Love my Vespas. Alex from MILAN, IT

Thanks Robot, I really appreciate your videos, very informative. Cheers mate. Alan from Australia

Thank you Robot, great details and it gives me insight as I search for a 300 Vespa

I appreciate your candor. I like the 5 spoke wheel design. It looks strong and clean.

Great video. Thank you.

Great video, start to finish. My question: did the maintenance intervals change across the succeeding revisions? In particular, does the 2020 rev have a more robust drive belt/variator? Thanks, Robot

Looking forward to buying a secondhand 300 in the springtime. Been off bikes for a few years but it's time to go scootin again

Great video! Would be highly appreciated if you make this kind-historical-thingy about GTV. Many thanks, Rob.

Thanks Robot, picking up my new GTS300 later this very day! Tried a Royal Alloy TG300, most unreliable Scooter/Motorbike I have ever owned - took it back on the 30th day for a refund! I should have bought the GTS300 to go with my Vintage PX125! Hope the Kent weather holds up for me this afternoon!

Love the fact they finally fixed the nose on the GTS by using deaign clues from Primavera and Sprint. Original GT/GTS nose always felt to me as an afterthought, no visual connection to any full size model of the past. Alsk nice to see the bottom of the rounded front of the leg guard has gotten a nice and more agressive edge. Combined with the new-design nose it feels so much more like a true Vespa now, IMO.

Does robot have an engine cleaning vid?

Robot, I have a quick question for you… the 2020 headlight, is it backwards compatible with a 2016? Like the primavera LED that could be fitted into the 2015’s?

Great video! Now we know where you kept your hamburgers in your gts 300! LOL

Look behind the horn cover. It’s about the size of a deck of cards and has cooling fins on it. There’s some yellow, black and maybe a red wire coming out of a plastic connector that goes into the regulator. If you can’t get to it, find a KZread video explaining how to remove the legshield plastic & glovebox. Then you’ll be able to get to it easier.

You will find some comments at the bottom of the list from people who have never owned a Vespa GTS or likely even ridden one - ignore them they do not understand......

Robot is excellent.

As fun as the Vespa is, there are still many annoyances and flaws that should have been fixed but never are. The underside is very prone to rust. By now Piaggio ought to have found more space underneath the seat. It still cannot offer enough room for a full face helmet. Next, the front locker space could be doubled in size without encroaching on the rider's legs and without spoiling the look, but Piaggio cannot be bothered to address this. Some report that the infamous "wobble" or tank slapper at around 30 mph has been fixed but others say it has not. This issue has been present for a very long time. Though the Vespa is great fun, it is way over-priced relative to its usefulness and the "official" accessories are outrageously expensive.

Love my Vespa GTS 300 2013 apart from the RUST, it's rotting away even though it's garaged permanently. Very poor quality on the frame.

I hope to have a larger diameter wheel!

Yes, I agree with you. I thought that the wheels were only ten inches like the Yamaha BWs here in Canada or the Yamaha Zuma in the USA. I admit that I was wrong. The Vespa scooters have twelve inch wheels. I agree when you say that Vespa should try thirteen inch wheels. I believe that the scooter would have better stability and fuel economy. Good idea!

Just Imagine, if you ever hit a BIG BUMP, you may fuck up the fuel injector. After a HARSH WINTER up here in Canada, that is all what we have : BIG BUMPS on the road. Years ago, Vespa scooters were, very good scooters and they represented what a scooter should be : (1) low purchase cost , (2) low maintenance cost, (3) easy to fix (even by the owner),(4) good fuel economy,(5) a fun to ride, two wheeled vehicle, (6)a very RELIABLE scooter. Now VESPAs are for the more WEALTHY scooter riders, the Bourgeoisie class of scooter riders. The type of people that look down and frown upon other scooter brands. The type of STUCK UP people that will say " O'h ,you only have a Japanese scooter ! I only scoot on a Vespa " Fuck those people! Buy a JAPANESE or TAIWANESE made scooter. You won't have the same PRESTIGE, but you will have piece of mind that you didn't OVERPAY for a fucking HAS BEEN scooter called VESPA. Piaggio, the makers of the Vespa scooters, should go back to the six basic points, that I mentioned above. Here in Quebec, Canada, where I live. I see young teenagers, BEATING THE SHIT out of Yamaha BWs ( Zuma in the USA) and Kymco (A Taiwanese Made Scooter). I don't think that an $ 8000.00 VESPA could take that beating and KEEP ON TICKING. Period! Cheers.

You cannot put your GREAT DAINE dog under the seat . VESPA warns people, not to carry an animal under the seat. WOW ! !

This guy is very honest. He says it HIMSELF, to STAY AWAY from older Vespa scooters. The best thing to do is, to STAY AWAY from ALL VESPA SCOOTERS and buy a JAPANESE or a TAIWANESE made scooter. What NO salesperson will never ever warn the clients about, are those TINY SIZED WHEELS, that those Vespa scooters have.When you get 1on a highway and you start going sixty or seventy miles per hour or more, those small wheels become VERY UNSTABLE. In town they are SUPER, for cornering and going in and out of traffic, but, out on the highway or like the Americans say, the freeway, be VERY, VERY careful for stability at higher speeds. Plus the guy said it himself, that some customers did complain about the front wheel being " Whobbly ". Those small wheels should only be sold on scooters with a maximum of 150CC engines and not on any other larger displacement scooter .PERIOD ! ! Very, very dangerous wheels at high speeds compared to a twelve inch wheel or even better a fourteen inch wheel. I am Canadian, we spell 4 like this : four. The old British way. From Canada with love ! Cheers ! !

Question: have *you* ever piloted a Vespa at highway speeds? I've had my GTS300 Super up to 85mph, and while I wouldn't spend the whole day WFO, the bike was just fine. You can go 70-75 all day long. If Vespas aren't your thing, no problem, but if you're slagging for giggles, you might need a new hobby.

@@c7uk I don't DISLIKE VESPA SCOOTERS ! Actually, I like their styling and the fact that they have a metal body. I also like the FACT that Vespa was the original scooter after WW II . Other Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese scooter copy the Vespa scooter but, I agree, a VESPA remains a VESPA. PERIOD! Those other makes of scooters can NEVER capture the NOSTALGIC past that the Vespa scooter has. Vespa also has a very good suspension and engine. All this being said, I cannot comprehend why Vespa scooters are PRICED SO HIGH, compared to the JAPANESE and now the Taiwanese scooters that are also good scoots. I live in Canada and the difference between the EURO and Canadian dollar makes VESPA SCOOTERS VERY, VERY PRICY. Some models of Vespa scooters are TWICE the price of a comparable Taiwanese scooter. I know that the Taiwanese scooter is mostly plastic, but half the price of a Vespa ? ? I still bought the Taiwanese scooter with a two year free waranty.
