GTS 125 Super (MY2022)
Italian Style That Actually Handles
The Machine's Character
The GTS 125 Super is a Vespa in the traditional sense: the body is a steel monocoque, so the metal you see is the structure that carries you. Inside sits a liquid-cooled 125 cc iGet single making 14 hp at 8,750 rpm and 9 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm, with a belt driving the rear wheel. It rolls on 12-inch wheels, a 120/70 front and 130/70 rear. ABS, an LED headlight and a USB charging port all come standard. At 353 lb (160 kg) wet, it's a substantial 125, and that steel body accounts for the weight. Proper Vespa construction!
On paper, this hardware is built for the city and the roads just outside it. A 125 cc single with 14 hp suits urban traffic and the daily commute, and the 1.8 gal (7 L) tank fits that kind of local riding. The 31.1 in (790 mm) seat height and floorboard layout keep things accessible, and you can set preload on the rear shock when you carry a passenger or a load. The rider this points to wants a Vespa first and transport second. You buy it for the design, the steel and the name, and you still expect it to handle the daily commute. Style with substance.
