2:30, I agree 100%. This is a Vespa. The Mini 2-door. The Range Rover. Porsche 911. Icons of design that only need a technology tweek every few years for LED's etc.

Hi Robot, I wanted to tell you that I watch your videos and you are an excellent mechanic, your explanation is sharp without extra bullshit, very efficient and clear, keep up the good work man, and may you and the company have a good and successful year, greetings all the way from Israel!

Thinking about jumping from my 300 Honda scoot to a Vespa GTS I love the history and tradition and the way they hold on to their styling over time, Just so classic and cool. Thankd for explaining the newest Model year offering.

Great video and awesome dealer. I test rode a Stella there about 10 years ago. Quite a different experience than a HD touring bike, but I really liked it.. I lived on a sailboat about 3 miles away at the time..

Thanks Robot. I think I’m gonna get one of these too, even though I basically built the same thing on a 2022 model. The dark almost-black matt grey one looks amazing as well.

Great job Robot! I can't wait until our orange one delivers! Your videos are incredible!

Hi Robot! Thanks for your fantastic videos, so clear and concise.. I've just ordered mine, GTS300 Super in red. Best wishes from the UK😁

Awesome looking vespa and another great video by Robot!

Thanks for your very thorough review this just makes me want to purchase one even more!!!

I'm with you. Rather see genuine plastic than fake carbon fiber.

Sold both my GTS250 and GTS300 now waiting for the new ones to arrive in Australia ;)

Thank you for the awesome review!

Love your videos. You promised in this video a riding video of this new GTS HPE2. Still waiting..

It my first time watching you. You are excellent. Greetings from Turkey 👍

Nice description Robot ! Exactly right for the lever colour (I'm uk based). But, would prefer the leg shield daytime running lights to be towards the centre of the scoot and the indicators on the outside for better visibility!!!!!!

Looks great in orange with black trim

LOVE THE NEW GTS 300! Especially the matte green

Great video thanks

I had an SS180 in 1968 with all the chrome and ‘Mod’ gear like crashbars, white wall tyres, front and rear racks, sports screen with huge ‘SS’ decals and six mirrors. Real ‘Quadrophenia’ style. I am pleased to see what Piaggio have done to gracefully evolve this classic icon. It a revolution and absolutely stunning!

It has all the whistles and bells but no birth control. Great video as always my friend. 👍

Really like the way they make the smartkey. Unlike Honda when your key fob is dead, you have to import the code they give you by pressing the smartkey multiple times, piaggio makes it like when using a car

Thank you

Love it❤

Thanks Robot! Did they correct the speedo error? I put the speed ring on my 2020 GTS and very happy with it. Disappointed about the dipstick...

I have the 13th model off the assembly line!

Tks. much.

I wonder with the side skirt trim that they made this a little easier to service. The outgoing model made it worse over the models before that. Even if it just makes it easier top get to the relocated stuff. Planning on getting one in the next year. Probably let Vespa Motorsports figure out a few updates to make to it to get rid of the gaudy parts first (switcher trim).

Cool!

I would like to see a redesign that gives it a more classic look, closer to the Vespa 946 or the Vespa Primavera, with the new 400cc Piaggio engine 😍

Will you have the four silver "nader" US safety reflectors available in a matching black?

If I ever replace my 05 gt I would love this 🤤

Im between this or the 24 Honda adv160? I like that the Vespa is smaller and faster but like the storage on the Honda which should i choose?

How is the display on the 300 tech while driving in bright sunshine?

Curious what it would take to retrofit the new suspension on the original HPE. Replace the suspension and the brake caliper?

do you know if the rizoma windshield can be fitted to the new model gts 2023??

Can you tell me about the rear of the front wheel and underbody which is prone to damage and rust. Is it plastic or metal? Thanks

Is this color close to the Arencio Sunset?

Leg shield retooled 20:10. Does that mean retooled to metal or plastic?

Hi Robot I have a question for you. Do you think Piaggio is ever going to come out with a Vespa with bigger wheels like 14" and also with a bigger engine like the beverly 400cc? If they don't is there a reason why? Thanks i appreciate you for an answer.

My dealer just told me the 2023 leg shield is plastic? Which is correct? 7:21 in the video

I'm watching this video I just had a question do you think this 2023 model is still going to suffer regarding the rust that happens in the old models overtime because I have a 2018 model and I'm trying to upgrade into a 2023 so my question is will this model suffer in rust because I know you said they made a plastic our line around the vespa for this new model

Are the brake components NISSIN?

What about the rear suspension?

love the design

Arranca Sanchez Vacarrio! I can't afford a new Vespa, I would have to go used on that.

You mention how bright are the LED front signals ....and in the next breath talk about smoking them or putting film over them. Yeah - let's dim our front indicators! That color is .....a very personal choice.

It’s beautiful but that price! Talk about sticker shock. The same Vespa with upgrades I bought in 2010 that was $7200 out the door would be close to $11k now

oh the number two.

Waiting for a 200cc liberty to come here

Shame you have no videos how to change the engine mount on a vespa primavera. Struggling with this one bolt so tight. Ie swing arm etc

Thanks, Robot. I don't like the introduction of more squarish parts like the spedo housing, because it will look dated, faster. I also don't know why the boss that sits below the badge needed to protrude. The new exhaust is likely a good thing, as the old bushings were expensive to own. No word on the dipstick? Wheels still ain't doing it for me. Like the no-blinkers! Shiny faux-chrome near the controls needs to go for safety. Jeesh, riding at night looking at a chrome cockpit. Hate the new electronic key. Hate Honda's too. No USB-C jack? Really?

Grips are from old school BMX Mushroom grips

Cost in india…..?

The switches on the handle bar looks too cluttered to me.

Let's hope it's not a rust bucket like it's previous models!

In motorcycle training class, the course teaches you shut the motorcycle off with quick shut off. You actually have to do this, constantly, during the riding part of the class. It decreases the chance of an accident(incase you forget to shut it off with the key). I have a scooter so I start practicing this technique. Much safer.

The first HPE modells were said to consume quite a lot of oil, if I am informed correctly it was because they used different piston rings. Is that fixed, or do the hpe‘s still burn more oil? Or is this just an urban internet myth? Thank you for your great reviews and tutorials, my 2018 gts 300 benefits a lot, as well as my wallet..😉

It varies. Many of them did burn oil. But plenty of us never used a drop. Mine and a neighbors didn't but my friend's did. 33% is still too many. It wasn't much but if you didn't check it, that would be dangerous.

I have a 2020 GTS HPE. Consumed an alarming amount of oil until I hit about 7K, then all of a sudden it didn't. Don't ask me why. Maybe the engine wasn't truly broken in till then.

Those chrome switch guards are horrendous. Why would they black out all the trim but leave that?! 🤮

Looks like a KTM.

Almost every rider in Asia is demanding keyless systems. You want it because it's convenient. When people pay $5000 for a Vespa instead of $800 for a Honda Suoercub, they EXPECT keyless to be the bare minimum.

Did he just gloss over the silver color on the switchgear? Guess why bring it up when it’s unforgivably horrid.

That orange hurts my eyes.

As much as I love Vespa they are pricing themselves right out of business ! For the price one is already in the motorcycle world. I’ve been to Rome 31 times and do not see many Vespas. Other scooters yessssss. And many but not too many Vespas. They seem to keep redefining themselves every other model year . Keyless ? Why ? Give me a break it’s still just a Vespa ! Believe me I love the Italian icon. Nothing like it. I put 100,000 miles on them over the years but they are too costly now. Even in Italy people cannot afford them.

Well, I’m here in Padova this week. Many hundreds (thousands I’m sure) of scooters. Vespas are easily the number 1 brand. I have closely looked at them while running every am. 65%+ are real Vespas. About another 10% are Asian copies. 5% are Liberty’s with larger wheels. The balance are the main Japanese brands and BMWs. I saw one French scooter also.
