The Steel-Bodied City Flagship
The GTS 310 SuperTech is the top-tier variant of Vespa's GTS line, and the recipe is plain on the spec sheet: a 310 cc liquid-cooled single making 25 hp at 6,500 rpm and 21 lb-ft at 5,250 rpm, a belt final drive and the steel monocoque that defines the brand. The body is the structure here. On top of that sits the equipment that earns the SuperTech name: a TFT display with smartphone connectivity and navigation, a keyless system, a USB charging port and an LED headlight, with ABS and traction control standard. That's a lot of tech for a scooter.
Read the hardware and the job description is clear: this is a city tool with style. The 12-inch wheels on 120/70 and 130/70 tires and the 353 lb (160 kg) wet point to tight traffic, quick direction changes and small parking gaps, and the center stand is standard. The seat sits at 31.1 in (790 mm), and the 2.2 gal (8.5 L) tank says urban range rather than long hauls. You don't buy this one because it's the most rational way across town. You buy it because you want your daily ride to be something special and still do the job. Fair deal!

Safety
Over the years I've listened to a lot of riders: paddock talk, owner chats, club nights, and the emails and messages that land in my inbox. For the GTS 310 SuperTech, the pattern is clear: owners praise the engine, the seat and the finish, and their complaints start where the wind and the luggage do.
The engine comes up most often. Riders describe generous torque from low revs and say overtaking takes no effort, even on fast divided highways. Next come the seat and the finish: owners report hours in the wide, well-padded saddle without fatigue, and they point to thick paint and careful assembly that give the scooter a solid, car-like feel. Fuel use gets praise too: owners quote a range of nearly 140 miles (225 km) and call it useful for touring. A pleasant surprise, they say.
The recurring gripe is exposure. With no windscreen, riders find the wind blast tiring at highway speeds, and they call an accessory screen almost essential for serious touring. Some owners also mention storage: the shallow under-seat compartment won't take most full-face helmets, the glovebox is modest, and a top box ends up on the list for two-up rides or shopping runs.
Loose floorboard bolt causing rattle
Some owners report a metallic rattle from the footboard area; traced to a single loose bolt that can be easily tightened.
Where this Vespa GTS 310 SuperTech pulls ahead of — or falls behind — its rivals on the numbers, and the typical bike in its class on character.

Of the riders here, you're the closest fit: TFT, navigation, keyless and that steel body suit your taste for tech and design. For weekend ridge roads, plan around 25 hp and a 2.2 gal (8.5 L) tank.
