2007 Vespa GTS 250

Vespa’s flagship model on 2007 was the GTS 250ie, is a smooth number, whether you are cruising along in the summer sun, battling the traffic to work or on a weekend road trip on the open road. The 21hp, fuel injected, four-stroke motor is the most powerful engine that Vespa produces; it has strong consistent power perfect for overtaking and will easily out-accelerate most four-wheeled transport. The GTS also sits effortlessly at the speed limit on the open road. At idle it has a gentle lumpy throb due to the large single cylinder motor. 'The GTS performed very well, with a time of only 3.9sec/0-31mph...' On the road you know you’re on a big scooter, although compared to the average maxi scooter it’s quite light at around 150kg (331 lb). The weight settled nicely on the open road; only when weaving through traffic did it feel a little cumbersome in comparison to a smaller bodied machine. What this scooter has in spades is style. Almost everything has little touch of Italian flair. There is a tasteful use of chrome harking back to Vespa’s origins; the chrome accents include the mirrors, badges, and a few small trim parts. The 21st century however has not been forgotten; many modern touches such as, the digital tachometer, fuel gauge and the engine have been subtly integrated into the retro design and were created using the latest technology. One detail that truly stands out is the pillion passenger foot pegs, these are works of art, even the action of extending them has style.
