2010 Vespa GTS 300ie
We just got our first shipment of new 2010 Vespa and Piaggio scooters last week. One major change for the 2010 model year is that Vespa will not offer a GTS 250. The new 2010 GTS is actually a GTS 300ie, same engine found in the GTS 300 Super. The Vespa GTV will still be a 250cc. I am trying my best not to sound confusing, so long story short for 2010 Vespa will be offering (in their largest engine class) a GTS 300, a GTS 300 Super, and a GTV 250.
I spent a lot of time cruising around on a Vespa GTS 250 last summer, and I can attest that hands down you won’t find another scooter that offers a better ride. With the new 300’s you get the same incredible ride with a quicker acceleration. If you have not read the LA Times review of the 300 Super we posted earlier in the summer, you should check it out.
“While I’ve ridden many freeway miles on Vespa’s 150-cc and 250-cc scoots without incident and felt fairly comfortable doing it, I would argue that the GTS 300 is Vespa’s first freeway-capable machine. Vespa estimates the Super’s top speed is 80 mph. I took it up to 90 — the going rate of free-flowing traffic these days — to see if it could keep pace and it did. Without wheezing. Its 12-inch wheels were spinning faster than a rogue lathe, but the 120- and 130-mm treads on the front and rear tires felt planted.” LA Times
Anyways, we wanted to share a few photos of the new shiny red Vespa GTS 300 that arrived at Vespa Lexington last week with you below. Also we still have one 2009 Vespa GTS 250 in Midnight Blue still available (you can save $600 right now), and we have one remaining demo 2009 Vespa GTS 250 in Cortina Gray available (you can save $1,400 right now).

What differentiates the GTS 300ie from the GTS 300 Super? I assume the Super comes with a cape or some sort of super powers, but other than that?

That scoot looks like it’s a beach of a ride! Look at the towel under it! Ride On!

The only difference is cosmetic. Same torque / hp for both 300 ie and 300gts super. The 300ie does not have that side air vent grill, does not have the sport seat, does not come with black wheels, but it does come with a free luggage rack on the back. The 300ie also has the small center headlight above the front wheel, which the super does not.
