You’ll notice the weight compared with the smaller cc scooters, but you will also notice another thing: the power! However, considering the admirable fuel efficiency of this Vespa your wallet won’t be all that empty. I would have thought a classic styled scooter like the Vespa GTS 250IE would have one simply for nostalgic value if for no other reason. After all, the GTS 250ie is Vespa’s --inventor the scooter!-- flagship machine. Thescooterreview is one of the most in depth scooter review resources on the web.
Vespa GTS GTV Super 250 and 300 Original Piaggio Belt and MP3 250 (82941R). We have these at a super special price right now, so they make for a great value. These should be inspected every 6,000 miles (21mm or under is the service limit) and changed every 9,000 miles. See our tech videos for step by step instructions on how to change out most belts on any Piaggio and Vespa scooters. Fits all GTS 250 300, GTV 250 300, Super 300 and Piaggio MP3 250.
Exhaust IssuesThe GTS 250 is not without a couple of problems. Upon failure, hot exhaust gas will leak from the joint between the two. On early GTS units (2006 and part of 2007 year models) the hot exhaust gas hits the rear brake line, and if left unchecked will melt the rear brake line, causing the rear brake to fail.Piaggio addressed this problem in 2007 with a recall campaign . The recall procedure involved fitting an uprated clamp and a new down tube designed to deflect hot exhaust gas away from the brake line instead of toward it. Failure to replace the exhaust gasket during this operation (the gasket is considered a one-time-use item) would further increase the likelihood of exhaust failure down the road.Since the recall campaign took place, far fewer incidents of exhaust failure have been noted here on Modern Vespa.

I think $3k is a bit high for the age and miles, but I'm not familiar with your local market. Finding a Vespa in deep south Texas was like a needle in a haystack - I had to go 350 miles to get to a dealer to buy the new one. I had a 2009 GTS 250, and it was a solid performer.

I go out every day with GTS 125 commuters. Anyone who has ridden a GTS 125 would like the 300, I think. Plus, the mpg gets much better as you break in, and the engine gets even better.
