Vespa GTS 300 i.e. Super 2012

Even on the Super Vespa, there is no room under the seat for an integral helmet. If you don't want to walk around town and country with your hat in your hand, you have to get a jet helmet. There are some pretty good ones, but they're not cheap, like the Vespa itself. 5,000 euros is not cheap.

Improved engine

more spontaneous response

positive driving feel

comfortable ride.

Only available in two different colours

The Z1000 engine is a very nice naked bike engine, very powerful and powerful torque. The sound through the 4 pipes is also very fine. As befits a naked bike. For naked bike fans, this is certainly a great bike.

Very powerful engine - lots of power

great handling

fun to ride.

Not really suitable for beginners.
