This machine is great. I started with a Kymo BUG Espresso 150cc which was crap, terrible, cheap, nasty and as the saying goes 'you get what you pay for'. After this, I moved to a Vespa GT200, which was pretty good and would have suited my needs, but then, I went onto the GTS250ie and haven't looked back, what a machine. Zippy, fast, fuel efficient, easy to use, zippy, fast (sorry, already said that). I'm almost up to 5,000kms on one set of tyres which I believe from the dealer is pretty good and looking forward to putting some nicer tyres onto the bike. Before I upgraded from the GT200, I spent a lot of time finding the right bike and researching the GTS250 and fuel injection. My research showed there are a lot of happy owners out there and I'm one of them. If you're looking at a GT200 and can afford the extra, buy the GTS250, you won't be disappointed. If you're tyring to save money, my pick would be a second hand GT200 without a doubt. On a negative side, the only thing I would add is if you are looking into the crash bars; make sure you get the full set as supplied by Vespa. They are more expensive than the after market (half size version), but I found the crash bar bracket ended up fraying the radiator hose over a period of time and before you knew it, radiator fluid everywhere. So, the old bars (aftermarket) came off and I now have a full set from Vespa on order. Can't wait, have seen pictures and they look great. Well, off for a ride, it's wet and horrible outside, but who cares, being out on a Vespa 250 is instead of inside is so much better.
