 Hello All From Sunny Oxfordshire.... Just a few silly questions for a virgin Vespa shopper...They may seem daft too you,but honestly these are genuine questions, any good honest answers be most welcoming..  Firstly i have never ridden a Vespa but have had bikes of course..My scariest was R6 and nicest the Z1000 was quick and comfy..Anyway,have had 4 years away from bikes as bought a house etc..Been reading scootering mags and thinking of a Vespa now for 18 months or so.. Well i been thinking of buying an Auto Vespa like the Gts model for a bit of fun..But have found myself torn between a new model like that....or i see a Px200 on a T Reg looked lovely..Is the 2 stroke really reliable as i see you can but a new 150 Px now but not sure..4 stroke or 2..? auto or manual..? I know its my choice etc,but as i dont really know anybody who rides 1 am relying on your answers/advice here please.. My heart says Px on 99 model or new 150 but would it be more sensible to go for Gts super..Only thing is its auto,and am sure a lot of people dislike it for that reason....Thanks everybody..

welcome matey..it's your personal choice...auto's a bit more reliable & faster...but more expensive if they go wrong, myself...i prefer PX 2 stroke anytime ...nicer style & easy to work on... |

Thanks... Yeah am thinking of the reliability as i am not mechanically minded and work long hours,so be just a weekend/summer dry days escape from the missus sort of thing.. I like the look of the older scoots,but the breaking down bit sort of puts me of.. Am also wanting to join a local club,but not sure how i be accepted on a "newer" auto type Vespa as reading throught the lines a lot of people really hate the modern Vespa  |

Go for the 250, quicker off the mark, bugger all difference in top end, the only place they fall back is on hills and headwinds, but there's not a lot in it.
I'd still go for the P2 though. Easy to fix when they do go wrong (And they will - as will the GTS), most jobs are within the scope of a home mechanic, even if they think they're not, unlike the GTS which is into the shop for regular belt changes.
