Is the 2016 VESPA GTS 300ie good for road trips? 100 mile trip to Pinal de Amoles 

Well you proved that a Vespa GTS 300 can run with the big dogs. Great job filming your trip!

I went to Nordkapp and back. 9000 km trip in 2 weeks in August 2017. Zero issues. Very practical and comfy, weather protection was excellent! Highly recommend GTS300 for long distance trips.

Brilliant video José I saw you many years ago touring Europe on a 125 Vespa a blue one , you were in London then. 👍🇬🇧🍻

Great video. It is nice to see some motovlogs from Mexico. I see ton’s of guys from Europe and the US, but very little from what we call ‘south of the border’. I am a big Vespa fan and really enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the video, I appreciate it very much. I have ordered my Vespa and expect it to be delivered early February.

Outstanding video! Great production and editing. Would love to see more of Mexico from a motovloger's persepective. Amazing route.

I just saw your channel and it's great to see another mexican enjoying vespas and coffee, great commentary video, I hope your channel to grows big !

enjoyable video - I'm in Florida - it's wonderful to see the sights of another beautiful country. that church was really nice

Great video, the GTS 300 looks really good. Considering one myself. Thanks

Definitely something I wanted to ask, and I'm glad you posted this video. Thank you so much!

I've just ordered one and been inspired by the trips people use them for so planning my own in August. Thanks for filming it. Your roads look better than ours.

Great Video!. Beautiful scenery. Crazy selection of bikes! I like them all...

Very well done video, I learned a lot about the Vespa capabilities. The scenery was beautiful.

Jose, thank you so much for your video's of the GTS300. I too bought the same model as you and fully endorse your comments regarding this Vespa. They are indeed very capable bikes and such fun to ride. Take care and enjoy!

Beautiful country Jose, thanks for taking us along.

Great video! also nice to learn some of the history of the places you visited! Thank you

mil gracias .....tengo mi vespa 300 en irlanda y la quiero llevar fuera de la cuidad de dublin, gracias a su video, lo voy a hacer, viva mexico, saludos de dublin, irlanda....

very nice video! really enjoyed your road trip!

I'm a owner of a 2016 Kymco People GTI 300 scence new thats my tool of choice. prefer the larger wheels. By the way, I enjoyed the video, beautiful Vespa bro.

Thanks, this is a great video. A good, clear review of the bike, a great view, a cool pre-trip 3D video and a language lesson all in one! It was good to see that you had no problem keeping up with traffic and your fellow riders at a regular riding speed. I am not in the market for a mid-sized scooter, but I think that bike is cool. If I had to have only one bike, and trade in my 150 Honda and 650 Suzuki, I would consider one of these.

good video , helped me decide on buying this scooter , thank you

Muchas gracias por este video tan informativo !! El panorama es espectacular y tu pronunciacion es perfecta.

Thank you Josè, beautiful video and wonderful country.

Nice ride! Thanks for sharing.

Hi. Very cool video. Thanks!!! It will definitely inspire me for road trips with other bikes (own a 300 gts 2015).

Very cool... I own a Vespa GTS 300 from 2010 and it is a capable bike for sure. I like your video of the town and that you shared the details of the ride... Someday will hope to get to Mexico...

Nice video showing the capabilities of the 300cc Vespas. I bought a used GTV 300 with only 750 miles on it last year. I live in Arroyo Grande, CA, USA and my nephew (a scooter guy), who lives in Indiana, wants me to come visit. I was going to put the Vespa on my small aluminum trailer and tow it, but he wants me to ride it back there--approximately 1,900 miles. Please post more--!En Engles, por favor!

Great video. Tha is for sharing. I currently have a 150 LX ie Vespa. I have been wanting to upgrade for some time now. I was Looking at a 250 GTV, and also a 300 Super Sport. I'm Looking for a bigger Vespa to commute for work. Your video will definitely help me with my decision. Thanks again, and much love from Central California.

Great video Jose, very interesting. Looking forward to more from you.

Thank you for your video. I think you have just made my mind up to get a Vespa 300. I was considering one but I didn't know how good it would be for a 300 mile journey in a day. I had hundreds of Vespas in the 1960s / 1970s and now I am getting a bit old for fast motorbikes I am getting nostalgic about the Vespas. I know the new ones are nothing like the old ones other than the shape and therefore the memories it would bring back when I open the garage door and see it there. And of course now you have made me want to visit Mexico, though I don't speak Spanish. I am in England.

Nice video. Very well done. Thanks for the advice.

Nice video. I find it strange that if a bike can't do 90 mph uphill, then people think it is not capable of long trips. I have ridden smaller scooters on long trips. A long journey does not need to be on a 70 mph interstate highway. Looks like a great road.

Como siempre la calidad, información y contenido de tus vídeos son excelentes. Me gusta mucho la información y gráficas del GPS. Esto me ase sentir como si estuviera sentado conduciendo la Vespa GTS 300. Gracias por la experiencia virtual !!! Deseo informarte que tus vídeos me inspiraron a comprarme una scooter( Honda PCX 150 ) y la he disfrutado muchísimo.

Sheffield. That's the northern part of England. There's a thriving scooter community over here as well.

Great video, and very picturesque scenery, but those narrow mountain roads made me very nervous with my fear of heights.Those Vespas are a classy and sweet ride, and now I'm considering getting one myself. Thanks for the information Jose.

Nice video. I like the history lesson too.

Nice video! Thank you!

Loved the video. My ideal weekend away, I hope the town hasn’t been hit too hard from Covid and reduction in tourism. Very impressed with the performance of the Vespa !

Thankyou for sharing this with us, I always enjoy seeing other riders parts of the world. And your piece of it looks great. It’s already been said but it is well put together and informative. I’m on my second gts 300ie super so I already have a good idea of how it performs and what its capabilities are. Due to physical disabilities the scooter actually allows me to travel further than on a traditional motorcycle. I’ve just let my BMW r1100rt go to get the Vespa. Best wishes 🛵🛵🛵

The Vespa 500 GTS ie would make a great long ride bike. But until I can afford one my little Kymco like 200i will have to do, for small trips of course. Nice video!

Hello, Very interesting. Thnanks for sharing your Vespa experience

I love your vids if your ever stateside do the Gold Coast in Mississippi Like Vegas but easier on your budget Thanks for your work......and fun Gray South Mississippi

Just bought very similar color combo the Dolomite Grey, am loving every minute!

Great video!

great video, beautiful country down there.

Very smooth! Ride

Great Video, I totally agree with you! I own a GTS 300 as well and did a lot of touring this year here in Germany and Austria in the mountains. The GTS is a great ride for touring!

Good job for the video. Amassing.

Nice job on the video, very well done.

Excellent and well done. Thanks!!

I have the same but in white. On holidays in France I often do roadtrips like that in the mountains (eg. Mont Ventoux) and it is always big fun. I also have made some movies and feel free to watch.

Very professional video very nice Vespa 🛵 also the scenery is also very beautiful,,, could the GTS 300 be good someone 5‘10“ tall and 300 pounds

Bako. Very nice, safe trips my friend

great video work

Awesome. I have the same exact bike - year and color even.. and I have yet to take it on a long road trip. I am installing a power outlet where I can plug in my phone for GPS soon...

Je découvre les régions du monde au guidon d'une petite Vespa GTS 300 ! Très sympa, comme quoi on peut tout faire sur cette petite guêpe !

Great movie, i read evrythings about this good Vespa, and my Vespa is waiting on me, i bought 2017 300 super sport Giallo Mat.

Mexico in a motorcycle is a dream. I want to ride USA too

I like the 3D mapping.

nice video ...and beautiful place...

Great video and very well produced! I had no idea Mexico was so beautiful! Your Vespa is like a work of art! I love the color and the classic look! How comfortable was the seat on the 100 mile ride?

Looked like a great place to take a trip to🛵👍🏻

It is people like you the world over is exactly why I love this Italian made Simple Human transportation machine. Twist and go, no bothers, no worries. Simple hand brakes. Great fuel range. Yet, expensive. As I weigh 255lbs I believe I would be too heavy for this scooters stock suspension. Other issues I have are tailbone pain developing well into any ride over 30 to 40 minutes, my jeep JK is a prime example. The other being, I have not been allowed to test ride a Vespa when they were offered here in my hometown at the time. I appreciated seeing the historical Statue, a tribute to those long before us, those whom tolled for gold/silver. I recently returned from a Yukon Territory tour where the very first gold rush began. It was and still is very humbling to think about the thousands of horses killed just in one section (high mountain) passage alone. 4000. Do riders in Mexico worry over the same inattentive drivers with cell phones as in the United States and Europe? Great Fun! Cheers!

Halo, José, please can you tell me what is the fuel consumption for 100 km. Thank you!

Excellent video! I also have a Vespa gts 300 and I love it! One question I have is how did you get that gps info on your video?

beautiful road, beautiful bike!

That's all anyone needs to know. That was an up hill run in mixed bike company at legal speeds. So if like me anyones thinking of making the change from big bikes to a Vespa 300 GTS, you now know it can do "Legal Speed Touring" very comfortably.

Jose after warranty i would switch from (what spark plug comes standard with you 300?) i think you could purchase a new PLASMA spark plug for excellent performance!

Nice video

Excelente video amigo, sin embargo Pinal de Amoles se deriva de la lengua otomí que traduce a tierra de camotes. Saludos.

Chapeau pour la vespa!!!

Hola, por favor puedes decirme cuántos litros de gasolina hasta por 100 km. Muchísimas gracias!

Pretty cool 😎

Me gusta que hicieras el video en inglés. En lo personal casi todo lo que veo está en inglés, eres de los pocos que veo de México y en español. La ventaja de hacerlo en inglés es que personas de todo el mundo pueden entender lo que tienes que decir, y hombre, ese viaje que hiciste fue genial.

I've had 13 Motorbikes and now a Vespa GTS 300, have to say I'm well impressed with the ride, not so impressed with the rust underneath when It's only 4 years old.

Hi, how is it in long descents? Are brakes overheating while riding downhill in the mountains?

I've owned two out of these four bikes...

Very nice Vespa 😎

Mexico is beutafull .I will need to visit one day .

saludos, ¿qué tal la bajada? al ser automática y tener que depender 100% de los frenos (al no poder compresionar como en una manual) no genera algo de inseguridad y/o calentamiento de discos? gracias y saludos

Great bike but I had one and in California it's to small the 300cc motor is to slow.. great for streets and coastal small towns but to small. Maybe if Vespa had a 400 cc I would get another one..bit till then BMW 400 is much nicer

whats the range per tank mpg? total miles per tank? i would assume you could carry some extra gas as well! looks like fun!

What's the benefit of the small windshield? I ask because it doesn't cover the whole body

I wish this vespa came with a stereo system. I feel like i'd get bored just as i did watching this video.

Great film dude. I have covered many miles on a Vespa GTS and would disagree with the bikers. The GTS touring is comfortable, can carry sufficient luggage for short breaks or longer if you wash your smalls out, its economical and more than enough power unless you are on a German Autobahn. Cruising at 70 MPH (112 kph) is more than enough for me. One thing I would advise though is if you live where the weather can be bad like me then ditch the fly scene and get the Vespa mid screen. So much better in rain. I have had ego massaging alpha male big bikes and they are so much more impractical than a Vespa GTS.

Hola. Un favor compadre. Necesito una moto, principalmente como transporte para la ciudad, pero la necesito de 250cc, que es el mínimo requerido por el gobierno de la cdmx para poder ingresar a vías rápidas como periférico, circuito, viaducto, segundos pisos. Vías que yo sí ocupó a diario. Por eso es indispensable que sea 250, sino me compraba una motoneta de 10mil y ya. El pedo es que las marcas reconocidas (yamaha, honda, suzuki) tienen sus motos 250 muy caras, por arriba de los 90mil, y eso se me hace demasiado para algo que sólo voy a usar para moverme en la ciudad. He encontrado motos 250cc que rondan los 50mil o por debajo de estos, pero de marcas no muy reconocidas como benelli, keeway, italika. Qué me puedes decir de estas marcas, valen la pena? Son duraderas? Confiables? Hay refacciones en México? Hay mejores por el mismo precio? Gracias. Me urge.

I need one

Cool video and I also enjoy me GTS 300 Touring. Awesome machine! Keep the cool videos coming. Subscribe!

i see lots of twisty

It is good, but not comfortable enough and not powerful enough for longer trips. super scoot though!

Nothing shows

the old vespa gts 278ccm with the very weak 22hp is good for road trips, climbing up mountains, seriously?!?!? with what is it compared with? is this Level lower or higher? its definitely lower. at first i wondered if @jose is experienced with scooters and or motorbikes, but jose u obviously are. so is this Video sponsored by piaggio that u come to this conclusion? i mean its true, when u go only 50kmh, that 12" scooter does the Job, but fun riding a 2wheeler is defined definitely different. so i am sorry that i have to say: no, u dont inform correctly here with this Video. u compare with the Level above, not with lower Levels. the biggest Problem the gts has: till 80 on flat roads everything is okay, but then it gets chewy as the engine is too weak (the base is from 2002, the vespa gt 200) , the topspeed is dramatic low with only 130-135kmh, u have to consider also the typical italian tuned speedometer that cheats up to 15kmh, = to weak for Highways, too weak for Country roads to safely overtake otherrs that run 80-100kmh, no Chance. and the acceleration 0-100kmh in 14s (!?!?) for 5-6000,- euros? its made for a City. 0-80kmh is fine, its NOT made for road trips. of course u also get from A to B, sure, but fun driving Looks different. fact: the price for this weak scooter is horrible, its old technique, really low engine power, bad supsension, ohne one arm fork in the front and the optic... its already boring front is a flat licked Cosa that flopped end of 80ies and the ankeled costum rear where the engine opically falls out, that humgangous seat that Looks like a tongue...... its in general not really typical for vespa anymore unfortunately. than there is the always bad painting as they do it still by Hand so u easily get a rust Problem, then the injection pump and the fuel pump like to die etc etc. piaggio is known for very cheap production. in the year 2017, if u want to buy a vespa gts 278 sur its fine! BUT simpley be aware of that u get old technique for a price of a motorbike and: a) u get proper motorbikes for this amount of Money b) there are way better scooters available for less Money (ie Honda sh300i can do everything better) esp when u are used to good scooters and motorbikes a gts is really bad to drive outside the city, its NOT recommended. drive safe guys! :)

Great video!!
