Considering New Vespa Owner

[yanny40]

Right guys,

I need your help and advise,  i have been a biker for many a year to many to count i have to admit!!   I am considering a new path and new lifestyle hence why i am on here.  I have my motorcycle and i also purchased a Burgaman 200 for work and to be quite honest the Mrs and i prefer to go out on the scooter.  The big beast (motorcycle) doesn't come out very often as it just seems easier with the scooter.  This then got us thinking what do we really want .... we came up with we want a Vespa 300 tourer.  So my questions i have and need your input on are :-

1.  New or old Vespa?
2.  Is there still a community of avid riders out there?
3.  Will the new Vespa 300 really tour with two up?
4.  Are there plenty of even't to attend?

Don't want to make any mistakes as would like to finally get it right and be able to make this the ultimate machine.

Hi and welcome. If you're after new, go for a Vespa GTS, I think they are 300cc autos, pull like a train. You can go for a kitted 200 PX, but to me it sounds like your best bet would be the GTS. Enjoy, whatever you go for.

Take a read of this, it's an MCN review, might help a bit:- www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/piaggio/vespa-gts300/2009/

As a double GTS 300 owner, I would definitely recommend them.

PS welcome to the forum

Don't know anything about the gts except that ,,it looks like a plastic moped
Might ride superb,be the best thing ever made in two wheels
But looks just to plastic for me,
