2009 Vespa GTS 125 Super (Europe)

The sporty performance of the Vespa GTS Super is now available in a 125 too. The Vespa GTS 125 Super inherits the same elegant and dynamic style of the Vespa 300 Super and even boasts an engine with electronic fuel injection. The new Vespa GTS 125 Super is full of character in its styling as well as its performance. Having produced an amazing 145 different models, Vespa certainly knows how to make full use of the uniqueness of the Vespa design. The pressed steel body that has always characterised Vespas appears on the new GTS 125 Super with a horizontal grille on the right side. This clear homage to the elegant Vespas of the past also adds a great sporting touch when viewed from the side. The new two-tone alloy wheels also contribute to the same visual effect. The racing soul of the new Vespa GTS 125 Super is obvious from a first glance at the front suspension, with its spring finished in racing red. Vespa made its first 125 cc engine as far back as 1948. This was the unit that powered the Vespas immortalised by the classic film Roman Holiday. For decades after, the public had a mental image of the Vespa as ridden by Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Today, some 60 years later, a modern 125 cc engine with electronic fuel injection is powering the latest spirited, sporty but safe Vespa. The new 125 cc, liquid cooled, four valve, four stroke power plant makes the new Vespa superbly easy to ride. The agility and sprint of the new GTS 125 Super are truly surprising too. Even the liquid cooling system is new: the E.C.S (Electric Cooling System) absorbs less energy and helps reduce fuel consumption. The new engine is also equipped with electronic fuel injection, and offers significantly lower running costs, thanks to reduced fuel consumption and maintenance, with service intervals extended by 65% from 6,000 to 10,000 km. The new Vespa GTS 125 Super is fast, sporty, spirited, and silky smooth thanks to electronic fuel injection, but also silent running and environment friendly.
