They are brilliant. Loads of fun. I really, really want one.

Wow that’s a long time ago 😜

Definitely worth a look. 😎

Absolutely. Unexpected performance. I absolutely love them.

Thanks. They are brilliant bikes. 😎

😂 thanks. I’ve given up on the sugar mummy now.

Nice. So my question to you is why both? And which one do you use the most?

They are the best

Now that’s some impressive miles but having played on a few on these bikes now I’m not surprised. Brilliant bikes.

Thanks. I just love playing on bikes 😁

I’m with you on that. There are faster and more comfortable scooters out there. Honda, Suzuki, Sym, Zontes, and I’m sure many more make bigger and better bikes. For me though I love the classic looks on the Vespa’s / Lambretta’s and I don’t mind sacrificing speed, tech and comfort for it. The heart wants what the heart wants 👍

Great bikes you wouldn’t regret it.

My favourite scoots 😍

@@GillyBikes Mine too now! :)

We have good taste 👍

I like the RA 300’s as well they are brilliant.

I feel like that too. One day we will both have one 😎

It’s a real beauty. I’m in the dealership tomorrow so I will ask them and let you know. G.

I’ve forgot what sunshine looks like

I’ve been on quite a few 200’s and find them to be a little bit better than the 125’s. But this 300 is in a different league. Lots more power.

True and that’s why there are bargains out there. 😎

@@GillyBikes The nearest Vespa dealer to me has loads in. The 300cc-ish scooter it the perfect bike in many ways. The Honda ADV probably being the best example. As I can't change gears I doubt I will ever get the licence to own one.

I’ve never owned one so I’m just going off my own riding experience and how it looks. Hopefully I can get hold of a new one and compare

🤔 The Vespa wins hands down on the looks department though 😉

I’ve had a, green, gold, blue, burgundy and a very recent red sh300i, I thought they were great, and although the suspension looks the same on them it’s definitely worse on the newer ones. My last red one the suspension was terrible, it is on a lot of new Honda scooters even their premium 350cc scooters. I bought a Vespa 300 gts, and it knocks the socks off all my sh300i. The small wheels which everyone slags off are not a problem, they’re great. The handing of the gts around bends is something else, it almost goes round bends telepathically, I’m not joking it handles bends way better than any bike or scooter I’ve ridden and I’ve ridden a lot. The nimbleness of the handling is also in another league. The suspension on the Vespa and the way it handles bumps is luxurious compared to the Honda line of scooters, it really is, and remember ive had five sh300. You do have to protect certain areas of the Vespa to protect from rust, a bit of under seal etc, but since it’s done, it’s done. There is no comparison in the Honda sh and Vespa gts. The sh slightly more nippy, but the handling and comfort over the crappy uk roads the Vespa is miles ahead.

Lots to choose from. I’ve just seen pics of the new MBP scooter. It looks really nice. I Can’t wait to get a go on one.

Yes. Smash that 👍. Cheers 😁

I thought that myself until I took one on the motorway. They are surprisingly good. You could sit all day at 70mph in comfort. Christmas is a great time to grab a bargain bike. Always good deals as dealers try to generate sales.

@@GillyBikes 70 mph is ok for the odd burst ,but not doing the engine any good at high revs for long periods . That style of scooter doesn’t have the bulk to give it the road presence ,of the longer & wider maxi styled scooters ,like the Hondas ,Yamahas & Suzukis with their fuller fairings & screens ,which are more suited to motorways ,if can’t be avoided . I nearly bought a mint white one from a dealers about 6 years old with only 3,000 miles ,with rack & fly screen a couple of years ago ,but choose to buy the Suzuki DE 250 instead ,when downsizing due to health & age . The Vespa would of been probably more comfortable ,but prefer the larger wheels & full controls of a motorcycle & the larger road presence . Still I expect someone will snap it up & give it a good home ,that dealer seems to have a good choice of machines , I will have to give the gaff a gander ,next time I am up that way .👍

Seriously? Would it/could it sit on the motorway, at motorway speeds, for sustained periods of time, and cope? I am seriously considering buying one of these brand new, but, if I do go ahead and make the purchase, I would like to take it across the Chanel to France, and do some touring. I would greatly appreciate your honest opinion on how it would cope with high speeds for 200 - 300 mile days? Many thanks, Neil.@@GillyBikes

I really can’t answer that because I’ve not done what you’re planning to do. I had a little go on the motorway and found it comfortable but for your own peace of mind you should join a few Vespa Facebook groups and ask owners what they think. I’m sure there will be people on there that have done what you’re planning.

​@@neilyplimlook on KZfaq,there's a few channels that ride these 300 Vespas over some distance.

I absolutely love that. How long did that take you?

@@GillyBikes 2 weeks. One week out, weekend in Croatia and a week back. Aside from an electrical fault, the scoot ran superbly. They're very underrated bikes

They really are underrated. Great bikes.

From memory I think it was 2 years old. I’m pretty certain it sold shortly after this video went out. 😭

@@GillyBikesThanks. It was Gorgeous.

@alxmnslv 100% my favourite scooter 😍

So is the Burgman 400 except for the looks. 😂

@GillyBikes yes.. the good old burg. Bit more expensive though.. but a solid choice 👍

XMax is a truly outstanding scooter. So comfortable.
