Thank you for the comprehensive video, I've been drawn to the styling of the GTV, and it's nice to have this as a reference.

Really great overview piece. Thanks for posting!

Thanks again for awesome videos Mr. Robot 🤖

Very surprised by the lack of turn signal pods. It is nice to see the European style turn signals. Great video! Thanks.

I love how the new GTV looks! A stunning scooter! Especially the display!

Thanks Robot, very good presentation.

Great review Robot. Thank you!

Really would be very happy to add this to the stable has been one of my favorite designs since the green one came out.

Robot your heart is in it all we love and appreciate you as a customer of your work I’m grateful for you very much and all the guys at Scooter West Not TC though Kidding Blessings through kindness and scooter living 💪🏻

Regarding the bike finder feature, I'm surprised Vespa didn't include beeping the horn as well as flashing the lights. I would find this particularly helpful when parking in those multi-story garages where you tend to forget the exact location you parked. A tooting horn, can be far more effective than flashing lights, especially if you're one floor off.

Brilliant Robot 🤖!

That’s a good looking Vespa.

Awesome!

Great walkthrough - impressive amount of facts this man has (hmmm….I sound like Yoda! 😏)

Very nice.

Great detailed review Robot! Now I'm really interested in getting the black GTV 👍😃

Robot u r as cool as it gets

I agree with you Robot I don’t like keyless we have had keys for years it’s simple😊luckily I bought a 2022 GTS300 which was the last models with a key.

Wait, I think we just glossed over one very important subject; which is why the heck did they go back to the old (2022) front suspension?!?!

Totally weird. But hey... Piaggio are like that. They will still sell boatloads of GTVs, so it's a win-win for them. Imagine buying one then noticing this "little" detail later. A deal-breaker for me.

Oh that's sick

I wish Vespa would do some retro vespers like the old PX and PE , I would seriously be interested in that.

Ciao ROBOT good video. ITALY

Great video, again- Thanks! Sees a change, on the left side above the glove box. On earlier models, it is possible to insert a USB port on the left side - Glovebox door trim (USB). Is this still possible on the 2024 GTV model? Must have this to charge phone/GPS. Or is there a usb socket I haven't seen? Except for the one inside the glove compartment.

Does the replacement headlight trim with the visor that’s currently available fit this year model as well?

Headlight looks all wrong down there. Plus doesnt it cause the light to bounce like crazy? Also I think the color is classic matte Puke!

Wait so which model do I want if I want the updated front suspension design?

Just got my GTV, is it normal if the ABS lights blinking.. only have 129 km on it? Assistance is greatly appreciated..

I’m not Robot but this isn’t the first time Vespa came out with a new front suspension only to return to the previous design soon. Was it 2017-18? Remains to be seen if the ‘24 or ‘25 GTS keeps the new ‘23 front end. I’d like to ride the ‘23 GTS sometime.

Robot, The comments don’t seem favorable to the new GTV. I’ll have to come down and see it for myself soon🤔. Matte finish shows up on a lot of bikes now. Never will “shine up” which I suppose helps hide the dust. Black vs chrome and factory DULL finish…hmm..I’d never clean it. But i never ride in bad weather. Bottom line is I think prospects would be kinder to all Vespas if priced about $2,000 less.

So we get a new gtv lacking the new suspension and brake..awesone

In some European countries was already available 2023.

Hi Robot, great review as always but, considering the bike finder..."There are too many on the line, I can't find my Vespa"... really? How about to just check the number plates?...I think, this feature is ridiculous...and finally, someone in Piaggio group, if anyone listens, this motor should have at least 28-30 hpe's.... (Previous owner of GT200L, GTS250ie and the MY19 HPE).

I have a Cousin in Spain that owns a auto repair shop , he also sells used cars 2-5,000 euros max and is having truble selling those. Average salary is 10,000 euros per year.. IN EUROPE VESPA are status symbols. Just an observation 🍷

Although USA salaries average higher, Vespas still seem to be fashion statements. Not hard to find older ones for sale that were barely ridden. There’s a cute, friendly naïveté to them.

It was one model year behind, and major dents in the left side body panel. It was ok otherwise but to get a new scooter for four grand, I’d have to live with it as is or spend big money at a body shop. I’d have a low miles bike with body and paint redone, perhaps even a salvage title?
