2023 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport REVIEW – It’s Brilliant, Frustrating and SEXY AF

what speed app is that?

I CANNOT REMEMBER HOW TO SET A CLOCK 100TIMES AFTER

9k for a scooter??? 🤦🏽‍♂️ for that price get a real motorcycle. But Vespa’s are superb scooters and the do hold their value but at 9k+ new kinda hurts! Pre owned would be the way to go

Do you prefer gts 300 super sport or super tech ? Why ? Thank you for your response

Hideous silver thing (surrounding the switches)... agree. Ugly. Fugly even. What happened to the Italian reputation for classic design? As to the turn signal... every Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese scooter makes a clicking sound when the turn signal is on. Not Vespa.

Great review 👍👍

Would you mind sharing what app is that you using on the phone?

too many negatives

I have had more than 50 bikes and I just bought a Vespa GTS 300 2023 and I LOVE it!!! ❤. I agree with what you criticize and I'm sure Vespa can make it much better, but to me it's not a big deal and I guess I can live with it. It's hard to put in words how much fun is to ride this beautiful sexy Vespa as it's not just pretty... She also behaves amazingly on the road.
Great funny review! 👍🛵

if bluetooth sucks, should it be better to buy the one that doens't have it? I think it's the GTS version (non super and non tech) right?

You shouldn't delete my comment about "Vespa" app that is communicating excellent with the bike (music, phone, messages and navigation)

About the indicators you are right, need sound ticking to remind you to switch off.

Nice bike... but wouldn't you rather have a Lambretta G350? ... just sayin'.

You take this thing camping??? Can you do a video of you camping with your Vespa? Im looking to buy a Vespa but I also would like to go camping. Curious what and how you pack for a camping trip on a scooter/Vespa.

Really interesting to know you started on a Liberty 150 as the logical pragmatic side of me says buy something like that and save my money but my heart says I’m a soon to be fifty-six year old man with one replaced knee who has the funds to buy what I want so dammit buy the Vespa. This internal war has been raging for over a year and you and Scooter in the Sticks have almost persuaded me. Good content in your videos and you are good at presenting it, including the fbombs…lol.

We (Wife and I) bought a 2021 GTS 300 and a 2022 GTS 125 from New and both had bushes that squeak! But after the first 200 miles no squeaking! I guess the bushes need time to be bed in! We love them, have long days out when the weather allows and plan a tour of Devon and Cornwall this summer, we live in Kent!

What a funny review, thank you 😀 Do you think, 125 cc GTS 2023 is enough for city traffic?

Lewis Black you there?

98% awesome makes 2 % not, easily acceptable. "class, today's guest for show and tell about scooters has been canceled"

I went with the BV 400 much better value. Sold my GTS and love Vespas but, the BV is a better deal.

I have the Vespa SuperTech 300 HPE and everything you mentioned is spot on. That darn digital dash is a waste of everything. It took me a while to give realize that it wasn't me. Otherwise, I love the bike.

I'm so happy you love your Vespa! I recently purchased a Piaggio MP3 530, actually the first one they have sold at Portland Vespa. Piaggio being the parent company of Vespa they interchange some of the parts like the weird feeling turn signal switch. I'm getting used to it but it doesn't feel the same as let's say the switch on my Honda. I put 650 miles on my Piaggio a couple weekends ago and love it. I've ridden in all sorts of weather and the dark. It's a joy to ride, I don't know what else to say.

A lot of fuss about the language, expecting the worst having read the comments but Bug seems fair enough. A pretty bloody funny and honest review in the end. 👍😊

I just tried out one of these some days ago. Never been on a Vespa before. And I have to say that it was really much fun from the first meters. So, I ended up that I bought a new GTS Super 300 yesterday......

Every GTS, has been a soulless, boring, rust prone, bag of sh*t. The last real Vespa was 2T, and had PX attached to the name, anything post, has been fit only for Pizza delivery, and those with real, or imagined, carpal tunnel syndrome.

Enjoyed the review not bothered about the swearing as here in GB it happens i have a 2015 model so the chrome switches and blue tooth thingy dont look much of an upgrade on the 2023 model. i bit the bullet a few months ago and got the GTS 300 after riding 2 stroke scooters for 46 years (at this time i still have a Vespa px and a Lambretta series 2 ) even after riding the traditional scooters the GTS is is such a great thing to ride its great to see that scooters are enjoyed by you guys across the pond ride safe and enjoy

The price of the little windshield! 😊😊😊

Great, very fun and funny, review! I just bought the gts 300 super. Great scooter! I maybe use the side kickstand more than I should. My comment about the Vespa is that it is heavier than I had expected, as a little, old lady, I can just barely push it when I have to do so.

Very honest review thank you. I recently bought gts 300 super. I still have my old lx150 and boy oh boy it feels like riding a cloud on it.

Thanks, I'm glad I bought an xmax

Tried to watch this with my son, but turned it off after a minute because boomer boy thinks swearing makes him look cool. Total fail.

Lose the potty mouth. No like

What is the name of the mobile app you use?

sounds similar to harley ownership

I have to say I wasn’t that keen on the fob instead of a key …or the plastic looking switch panels …..I really thought this year they would have had an auto off for the turn signals, and a clear window so you could see the oil …

Thanks for sharing an enjoyable and informative look at your 2023 Vespa GTS. You raise issues that have kept me repairing my 2006 GTS rather than "endure" the indignities of a frustrating process of checking the oil, overly complex electronic gadgetry, and a sinking feeling that the older ones are actually a little better. So I'm left wondering whether to buy a new one when the time comes or opt for a pre-HPE model that was gently used. That means anything under 20K miles on the clock. For me anyway.

Sure is a pretty looking scooter though. And like you, I love my Vespa scooters!

Nice one! I come from a plethora of bikes, Aprilia Tuono 1100 RR, Kawasaki ZZR 1400 (ZX14 in the US?), MV Agusta Rivale 800 and a bunch of others and atm I ride a Ducati Monster S2R 1000 buuuuut...I recently picked up a Honda Helix 250. That thing is a fuckin´ hoot! And to me it feels like a gateway drug. Hence. Here I am. Coming from 200 hp beasts looking at Vespas! Not 100% on board yet but feels like I´m getting there. Keep up the good work! Subbed :)

Funny review, but 100% accurate. I've got the 2023 SuperTech, but it should be renamed the NotSoSuperTech, or the SuperQuirckyTech . But just like you , I sure do love my Vespa GTS300. Incidentally, I have 1100 miles on mine. Cheers from NY!

The light blinking makes sense when you live in a place that has lots of scooters. I do hate the turn signals switch on vespa. It's easy feature to get right, yet vespa refuses to do it.

that is it if you want a vespa get a vespa there is no substitute.

Thanks for the vid

I love mine. I have exactly the same one. The Bluetooth does suck, but I love about everything else. My blinker isn't mushy.

Okay, you got me. I frequin subscribed. I had a 2018 GTS 300 and loved 97% of it. Sad to hear the blinkers still blow and the speedo casts doubt. Don't piss and moan like I did otherwise the Piaggio gods come after you. How dare you not accept the inadequacie😮s of a tippy top dollar product.
Oh, does the gas tank still spit fuel at you and do all the bars light up on the fuel gauge?
Like my Beverly 350T better with all the same Piaggio issues except bigger.

I would not mind the review, but why so many f bombs?

Your commentary is perfect, you're a funny guy. 10/10 and sub'd. You have amazing production quality for a brand new channel!

WAY overpriced. Buy a Yamaha. They are more reliable, handle much better and cost much less.

Hey mr bug I got my vespa a month ago and the bluetooth is working fine! You just need to open the Vespa app on your phone and tap the circle on the right of your screen! 🫡

Ok ,first things first ,thats a beautiful scooter and two days ago i bought the same model in metallic grey with the black accents. I agree about the switches and the chrome looks really out of place .I haven't actually got to ride mine yet because I knocked my back taking the seats out of my van to go to collect the gts .hopefully tomorrow i can out for the first ride and video my thoughts ....I gave you a subscription and like on the post and look forward to more but I need to say ..too much of the f word dont get me wrong I grew up in one of the worst areas of Ireland so im not easily upset by cursing but its doesn't seem to suit your character 😊! Greetings from Northern Europe 👍...Harry

I think I agree with every one of your negative observations. I don't like the chrome escutcheons around all the switches, the painted area on the 2022 was a much better look. I've heard Robot also say the bluetooth and navigation is a complete joke. The only advantage I see to the key fob is, you could go swimming at the beach with just the RFID Chip zipped up in your trunks. Also, could this be an expensive fix ten years down the road when it fails ? Still, the 2023 has the upgraded front suspension and nicer two-tone wheels, albeit at a $700 price increase over the 2022.

Wow . . . I'm two minutes into the video and have heard the F Bomb four times. Now, don't get me wrong, I work in an aircraft hangar and even hear our female mechanics drop the F Bomb but, this is really something I would expect from a Millennial. Otherwise, an informative and humorous video and nicely produced.
