The Different Scooter Models From Vespa Scooters

Vespa scooters, made in Italy, are among the many brands available in the market now that motor scooters are getting to be a popular means of transportation. If you are thinking of buying a scooter, check out the models of Vespa scooters. Their various models are:

1. Granturismo 200

The Granturismo 200, a four stroke, four valve scooter that works on a 200cc engine, is liquid cooled and works very well for a user. This model has very low levels of both noise and air pollution because of the make of its engine. This has lead to the Granturismo 200 into becoming an industry standard ever since. It has a great style as well, plus the superior comfort unique only in the Granturismo 200.

2. GTS 250

The Vespa GTS 250 is the best option for you if you want speed in your scooter. It is the fastest of all Vespa scooters.

This model has a 250cc 4 stroke 4 valve engine, with large wheels that are 12 inches in diameter. The large wheels, plus the power of the engine, put the model ahead of the others which are just limited to 60mph in speed. The GTS 250, aside from its superior speed performance, has also a style all its own that can compete anytime with other makes of scooters.

3. The LXV and GTV Vintage Collection The company making the Vespa scooters has taken pains to preserve the looks of the models that they have made before.

The LXV and GTB scooters now are the vintage types, if the looks are the standard to be followed. Their engines however are not exactly vintage, as they are still the more powerful ones among the scooters now in the market. The LXV has a 150cc four stroke engine, while the GTV sports the 250cc four-valve liquid cooled engine.

4. GT60

The GT60 was made to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of Vespa scooters, with the company making only a limited edition of the Vespa GT60. Only 999 units of the GT60 are being sold world wide - in fact only 250 are available in the U.S. With the company's passion to recall how it started in the motor scooter industry, commemorative badges will be awarded to the owners now of the GT60. The GT60 follows the Vespa 98 Model that first became available in 1946, when the company started going into business

5. LX

The features of the LX afford you the chance to witness the evolution of style, performance, and features of a Vespa in just one scooter. Taking the company 60 long years to make, the LX series is an example of the company's consciousness of its past. The LX now has either the 150cc or 50cc engine versions. Its speeds can reach as fast as 59mph.
