GTS 300 HPE
GenerationThe HPE version is the newer GTS 300 with a more powerful and efficient 278 cc engine. Identify it by the HPE badge and current equipment; it combines motorway pace with the classic steel Vespa body.
Years
2016 - 2018
GTS 300 Euro 4
GenerationThe Euro 4 update adds ABS and traction control to the GTS 300. The 278 cc single remains the basis, while added safety equipment and refinement make it a strong daily-use choice.

GTS 300 Quasar
GenerationThe first GTS 300 uses the 278 cc Quasar engine and is the classically styled fast Vespa for commuting and touring. Check CVT and charging-system maintenance; it predates the later electronic updates.
About the Vespa GTS 300
The Vespa GTS 300 is the flagship of Piaggio's large-frame GTS line and has been the sportiest big-bodied Vespa since 2008. It keeps the pressed-steel monocoque body the brand has used since 1946 and pairs it with a fuel-injected single-cylinder four-stroke (the HPE/i-get unit on recent years), ABS and traction control. The 300 is the only Vespa that comfortably cruises Dutch motorways at 120 km/h, while still being light enough to filter through city traffic.
The GTS 300 targets riders who care about styling and resale as much as performance. The upright seating position, flat floorboard and padded dual seat make it a relaxed daily commuter and weekend tourer for two. Direct competitors are the Honda SH300i, Yamaha Xmax 300 and Piaggio Beverly 300. Against those rivals the Vespa offers stronger brand cachet, better paint and trim and excellent residual values, in exchange for slightly less underseat storage and a softer top end.

What to check before buying
- Inspect the steel monocoque around the seat lock and luggage well for rust; Dutch winter salt blisters the paint here first.
- Stator and regulator failures are documented on GTS models up to around 2017; ask for invoices or have charging voltage measured.
- The CVT belt and variator rollers wear every 15,000-20,000 km; listen for vibration or slip when pulling away.
- Swingarm bearings and engine mount rubbers develop play and cause a knock from the rear; check with the scooter on its centre stand.
- The exhaust header and silencer corrode from the inside out on short city trips; tap the muffler and listen for loose baffling.
