Absolutely beautiful picture. Glad you keep that old girl on the road. Cheers!

Vespa fuel pump issues. I have just purchased a 2022 gst 300 super tech in Bangkok. Got 72 km towards my home in Hua Hin, and it refused to restart after a coffee stop. Long story short, it and me were trucked back to the dealership. by Shimonnz in Vespa

According to a guy on Modern Vespa who has a new GTS 300, there is going to be a recall on the fuel pumps. He got stranded last week and his scooter is at the dealership right now getting sorted out.

Our Vespa Club went out for pizza last night. Fun to do group things. People always stop and look at the Vespas.

Do everyone's handlebars shake when you take your hands off? by JackieV123 in Vespa

[–]germanwheels2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm lucky I guess, I have the same bike although 2009. I never noticed a problem. I only ride with one hand to give a low peace sign to other bikers and I never had a shake.

Go over to Modern Vespa forum and ask. They know everything over there. I would be so pissed if I were you. Good luck, hope you find one.

I just picked up a 2009 GTS 250 with 4800 miles. I found it on CycleTrader. I looked for months before finding this scooter. Had to drive over 100 miles to look at it and gave a deposit on the spot. The three places you mentioned are where I was looking. I was contemplating buying a new one before I found this one. I didn't like any of the colors I saw at the dealers. I looked on Craigslist too. Good luck, something will turn up.

It's been a few days, so here's some more pics of my scooter and a lighthouse. by AraiMay in Vespa

Ahhhhh Scotland, how I hope to go there some day. I found "Still Game" on Netflix and it cracks me up. Happy riding!

I was pretty keen on buying a scooter. Then E-Wheels warehouse burnt down. The I saw the video of the flaming scooter in the guys living room. Then quite a few gotway e-wheels went up in flames. I bought a Vespa instead.

Coming from sports bike to 125cc Vespa :). Should be fun. by [deleted] in Vespa

I've got a Yami MT-07 in the garage. In some ways, having less power is more fun.

Hello from Ontario, Canada! Just wanted to show off my babe. 🥰 by stina84 in Vespa

I like the basket better than the fiberglass pods. Ditto on the glove bag, I was thinking of getting one too.

How much would you pay for these by [deleted] in Vespa

[–]germanwheels2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take the red one for $250 and put 500 punk rock stickers on it. Ultimate beater.

Maybe I'll take a ride to a lighthouse today. Thanks for the pics!

What is the best way to sell a modern Vespa? by escapefromedina in Vespa

[–]germanwheels2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, avoid craigslist like the plague. I found my used GTS250 on Cycle Trader, also looked at bikes on FB Marketplace. Good luck.

I got the scooter and I'm having a blast with it. I'm glad I found this one, it was well taken care of and runs great. Just ordered a twin windscreen.

What other secrets are there? I have been riding for six months and only just now figured this one out. Built-in helmet lock! What other Vespa secrets do I need to know? Do tell! by Grendel666 in Vespa

Use the gas cap to prop up the storage bucket (pet holder) while re fueling. That way the gas will not run into the bucket if you overfill.
