I have 60 years of riding experience, beginning with my first scooter at 15. Now all these years later and over a dozen motorcycles along the way, I've come full circle, I purchased a new Vespa. I visited a local Vespa dealer and was won over by a stylish and sturdy scooter that lives up to the reputation it has earned. From the moment I drove away from the dealership on my new GTS I was impressed with its features and performance. Now two years later, it has proven to be a very reliable scooter and fun to ride. The workmanship is obvious from every angle in its fit and finish, but the most surprising feature to me was the performance-you roll on the throttle and it has an immediate response from the high performance engine(HPE) and a robust automatic transmission, sending you on your way!

Vespa's are generally overpriced scooters, there are many brands that give a similar result, but not the same. I've only got just under 50 miles on it so far. I'm still on my first gallon of gas (city driving all the way). I will say it's a smooth ride, it's a well-performance machine. You can just tell when riding it that makers know their stuff. I bought mine from a dealer in Pittsburgh/North Huntingdon, and I have much love the place. They were very patient, accommodating, and didn't make you feel like you were signing your first born over. I will suggest this to anyone who loves scooters, and for anyone who wants easy to work with sales people! Show less

This thing is perfect for getting around town. It's very quick from stop lights, and I get more compliments everytime I bring it out. As I write this, gas is hovering around $4.00 a gallon and it really hurts to fill up my Land Rover. So at 60-65 miles a gallon, it makes a lot of practical sense as well. Show less

This is a great ride with smooth handling and has the power to go with my height and weight. I have had no problems with the scooter since I purchased it. My gas mileage has been consistently around 65-70 MPG. It is the best purchase I have made for saving cash! Show less

I have 780 miles on my new Vespa 250ie purchased about six weeks ago. It performs as expected, no mechanical problems, and the ride is very comfortable. Scooter is very stable at all speeds and is very easy to handle and maneuver. I recently passed my motorcycle drivers test in S.C. and had no problems with using the Vespa for this. Vespa is a joy to ride and very problem free. Show less

The 2007 GTS 250 IE is very comfortable and stable. It has fantastic acceleration in the 0 to 45 range but then as to be expected flattens out between 45 and 80 mph. The one cylinder electronic injected engine is very smooth. This coupled with the excellent front and rear suspension makes for an outstanding ride. I prefer this vehicle to my previous BMW K75 because of its agility. It is nice to get away from the ponderous shifter. The CVT responds very quickly. On my first two tanks of gas, I have averaged about 75 mpg. I live in a hilly area (8 percent grades all around me) and the Vespa has no difficulty climbing with plenty of power to spare. I highly recommend this magnificent machine. Show less

I purchased this scooter second hand with only 400 miles on it and have since ridden it about 1600 additional miles. The bike is very powerful and extremely easy to ride in an urban setting due to its automatic transmission, low center of gravity and light weight when compared to a motorcycle. I use it primarily to run errands and go grocery shopping. It is amazing how many bags of groceries you can load onto this machine! You can put them under the seat, you can hang a bunch of them from the hook behind the front apron, you can fill up the aftermarket trunk bag on the rear rack and you can bungee cord more on top of the passenger's seat. If that isn't enough cargo capacity you can always add the front rack and scooter panniers for truly mini-van-like hauling capabilities. Unlike a minivan however, you can park this bike right next to the front door of the grocery store rather than cruising the parking lot for 10 minutes trying to get a decent space. The scooter regularly gets 65 mpg riding in the city and will do 80 mph if you are so inclined. The bike feels rock solid due to larger than normal wheels and a decent suspension - not at all like the Chinese, Tupperware knockoffs - it feels quite substantial. I highly recommend it for urban duty. Show less

This is a great running machine. It keeps up with traffic and it's very zippy and comfortable to ride. I get quite a few comments on how great it looks. It was a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I am a very satisfied owner. Show less

I'm just getting ready to take my Dragon Red GTS 250 IE in for its 3,000 mile service, and all I can say is I'm having a blast! I've had no problems on the interstate and mountain roads of Western North Carolina. It handles steep grades with no problem. I love the maneuverability of the Vespa, and find it very comfortable on long trips. Show less
