How Come Nobody Told Me the 2023 Vespa Is Such a Fun Bike?

- The 2023 Vespa isn't a fast bike. In fact you would be out of your mind to want to take it on the freeway. But, for inner-city commute it is perhaps the BEST option out there! Surprisingly versatile and equipped. Let's take a deep dive into its features and all that it offers.
Thanks to Bellevue Motosports for allowing me to take this Vespa for a thorough review.
I have the 2023 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport and ride on the freeway in LA with no problems. You're out of your mind if you think you can't take it on the freeway bro.
same to me. It easily does 120km/h.. but still: wind is a noisy and uncomfortable thing (on any bike) which I don`t enjoy as much as going around curvy roads with average 80km/h
The question is about longevity. If you ride for 2 hours every day with the scooter pegged at full throttle - it may not be the best for long life, right?
Also the 10k$ price including setup fees on a new bike puts it very close to a mid-size adventure bike like an NC750X DCT - which comes with dual clutch automated transmission.
I do it I do it can mess with me yeaa
@@David_Journey I think that you will be shocked to learn about how many Vespa’s traveled around the world/ really long distances/trips.
And there also quite a few old ones still around and really loved. People that have multiple motorcycles and a Vespa end up putting the most miles on a Vespa a lot of times.
If maintained correctly (not the hardest thing) then the longevity is pretty good.
@@David_Journeythe 300 is hardly at full throttle on the freeway at 75mph you’ll be doing almost 100 at full throttle
Just imagine how much cheaper gas would be if 30% of Americans rode a scooter instead of a second car. I see so many single occupant big trucks and SUV's on the road at 14 mpg. I would be happy to see gas have a big tax on it like the EU and then no income tax for people under $100K in income. I take my scooter whenever I can to run errands and for groceries. A scooter is liked by everyone including the police. I park my scooter up on the curb but between planters so I do not infringe on pedestrians. I never get a ticket. I encourage anyone that has thought about it to get a scooter. You will not regret it.
I’m buying one as a commuter, and pub bike;) I have my Tenere 700 as the adventure bike. I don’t own a car. I think the trick is to incentivise people to downsize. Here in Australia we pay car/Moto registration for a motorcycle, what you pay is dependent on capacity. We should have the same for cars, so the smaller the engine, you pay less registration.
Or we do away with income tax all together lol. Why 100k?
@necronorris You do know what income taxes fund correct?
How would you be funding those hundreds of things if it's done away with? Hopes and dreams? 😂
@@TheLwaller09 I don't like them, doesn't mean I don't pay them. But at some point, we have to wonder like... wtf? Taxes everywhere I fucking turn. That doesn't bother you? All of my bills are going up. My taxes are going up. When does it stop? You enjoy it? In my city taxes were increased while services were decreased. Doesn't make sense.
@@TheLwaller09 More to the point.... sir. Why is 100k the number for no income tax? That is dumb as fuck. All or none.
Fantastic. I have lots of memory with vespasian and thanks for giving me good memories of it
Good day to you!
I am a grandpa rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan.
Enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.
Your Vespa video is so nice!
Awesome!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend!
Excellent review. You cover all the details very well.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video!!! You're a rock star!! Waiting for the 2024 GTS!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Will add it to the list of bikes to review!
What a great and thorough review. Seriously the best info for a beginner thinking of buying a Vespa scooter.
@@edwardweiszbeck1649 thanks for watching!
Good review and explanations. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Informative, hilarious (dash) and wonderful. Thank you
Thanks for Watching!
In America it's not too popular but in the rest of the world is very popular. My personal opinion is that Piaggio needs to install bigger wheels like 14". I don't want to hear that they don't want to change the iconic status of the Vespa because they already did by making the Vespa with the automatic transmission and they already installed bigger wheels. This should be done for the American market because of the big roads/ highways.
In my life I owned over 50 motorcycles and my Vespa 300 GTS is maybe among my five favorites ones. Vespa it's so unique and not just talking aesthetically, also it performs like no other scooter.
😘👍
Love the new vespa video.
Good review
To add about the bicycle lef-right brakes. It is right-rear if the bike is sold in the country that drives on the right. If it's on the left , the brakes are reversed, same as standard scooter. It's because of the law that you give signal to stop with with hand that is inside of the road on a bicycle and the rear brake must be the other one for safety reasons.
Wow! Never knew that. Thanks for sharing!
1 out of 10 for riding position disagree! 70000Km now on a Vespa with 1000Km trips per stretch in the mountains the VESPA rider position is marvelous this is an amazing machine and commutes on the highway with no problem. Just love Vespa. And buy the way very capable on dirt. Google Vespa Sani pass. But thanks for a thorough explanation on the Vespa.
How much does the best it cost and do you have payment
Hi, very good review…. Thy
Great video! nice review! Thumbs up from S.Korea
Just one question, would you recommend on buying a supertech over basic model with 1,000 more dollors? Would it be worth it
Depends. Do you like a TFT screen? It enables you to have MIA and GPS on the screen. That and the specific colors you get for this trim only. That’s I think about all the difference. Do however do some further research into this
I chose the super sport model which also features app connectivity.. the all-new display to me doesn't seem as bright and clear to read like the combi-display which still has the classic speed meter.
in fact you can open the storage even if your battery runs out (you can touch the key at the front left side to allow it to recognize your key.
To my understanding, that’s only if the key is dead. If the bike is dead, then it can’t recognize the key even if you touch the key to the pad.
@@emadreviews The battery is easily accessible to hook up a jump pack.
@@ljohnson9440 right but that assumes you have the right tools to charge up the battery enough to be able to access this storage unit. Which is what I’d originally criticized as a bit of an oversight.
@emadreviews I assume that would be easy for a thief too.
You can open the glovebox with a dead battery on the Fob by holding the battery less fob against the left hand knee cover
Yeah that’s if the fob is dead. But what if the Bike itself is dead?
@@emadreviewsjump start the battery, just like car and then use the fob
My old version was better. It had a spare wheel under the bodywork which fitted either front or rear. No battery. Four gears plus clutch on left handgrip and a foot brake for rear brake. It was a PX200.
Help me i have the same one i lose my keys but that bike keyless
Doug DeMuro for scooters! Amazing dude, nice
Thanks for watching!
It is beautiful but the earlier models were more reliable because they could be started without a battery and electrical components.
Well yes, which is true for any recent motorbike, no?
@@schablonskiman4364 Yes, but to me evolution and progress should not come at the expense of reliability, if something fails to do the job of taking you from A to B more times than it did 50 years earlier, should not be sold, no matter how prettier it looks.
I have rode Vespa GTS 300 for over ten years and not had a problem accept the last one had a fuel pump failure at about one year. It was repaired under warrantee.
She's beautiful 😍
نرم هست تو دست اندازا؟؟؟؟
Yep!
I'm glad it doesn't look like a kushman
TIL the true meaning of the wasp
I never knew what Vespa meant until I began researching it for this video!
🛵💯💯🇮🇹🤗🤗
That you don’t know how to scrape your kneepads in corners, wheelie and ride your front wheel (ditch the abs or an old model). Says a lot about your driving skills than the Vespa (although a zip is still a better choice)…
Was this statement thrown in google translate cuz it does not make any sense.
Donut alert
Enjoyed the review ..of course I would never buy the latest Vespas with that ridiculous key fob ,everytime you called it a motorcycle i cringed 😖 your wrong on the toolbox opening problem if all electronics are dead you can unscrew the horn cover at the front and with a hook screwdriver open the toolbox door 🤗 but overall i watched the complete post and you did a generally good review ,by the way its not just for trips to the shops, many people tour thousands of miles on these scooters including motorway driving...gave you a like for the interesting post ..Greetings from Latvia...Harry
Thanks for watching!
Seems kinda overpriced
Beyond. Only reason I recently bought a 2023 Sprint 150S recently is because my Kymco 150 was stolen and the insurance company gave me 2500.00 for it! I used that to make up the cost difference for the Vespa. Gotta say, it is WAY smoother and quicker than the Kymco which inspired a whole new world of confidence in my riding style. I was impressed that it came stock with Michelin City Grip 2 tires.
