It is clear that we all yearn for the good old days, although for some it is even better today than it was many years ago, and of course the reincarnations of these legendary models are better. How successfully they will reap the glory of their predecessors, time will tell, since now only assets in the balance sheet are important.

To this end, Piaggio, where they dictated the development of scooters for their legendary Vespa for more than half a century, decided to revive their GS (gran sport) model, which was presented 51 years ago and was the pinnacle of design and style. and speed. Did Piaggio finish the success story of this Vespa in Italian? he just didn’t do anything new. Today, the 250 GTS is available to customers.

The designers have retained all the classic Vespa features, it has only become more practical, faster and friendlier, and with individual details that return it to the mid-fifties, it still flirts with its predecessor.

From a technical standpoint, the Vespa 250 GTS is the fastest, most powerful and most high-tech Vespa ever. The single-cylinder, four-stroke, four-valve engine delivers “22 horsepower” to the bike, runs quietly and meets the EURO 3 economy standard. It features electronic fuel injection and will also be available with optional ABS.

It is traditionally equipped with a storage compartment in front of the driver, and there is a new place under the seat where you can put your jet helmet. Side and center stands come standard, a built-in rain cover is hidden under the seat, and a red illuminated dashboard displays digital displays for ambient temperature, rpm, fuel volume and coolant temperature in addition to an analog speedometer. ...

When riding, this Vespa turns out to be a classic modern scooter, distinguished from the rest by its spaciousness, exceptional flexibility and maneuverability. At full throttle, it delivers excellent acceleration, reaching 130 km / h, but then becomes restless and sensitive to crosswinds. On winding roads, it follows the driver's commands precisely and does not resist steep inclines. It stops reliably and efficiently. You can only blame her for the first brake lever you need to get used to first.

The driver is comfortable to sit, as is the passenger, and they (especially passengers) will be very happy after a long trip. Thanks to the good wind protection, the knees do not creak even in cold weather.

With this Vespa, seniors will relive their youth, while younger ones will experience the charms of a helpful and reliable friend and a romantic trip for two. And this over and over again. Piaggio undoubtedly continues the history of his legendary model, which has never been forgotten by Vespa lovers.
