The Vespa GTV model made its debut back in 2006. Now, in 2023, the technology has been modernized, but the model still stands for the classic style of the Vespa family.
All in the name of sportsmanship
The eye is immediately drawn to the characteristic round headlight, known as the Faro Basso in Italian, which sits enthroned on the front mudguard. However, the entire lighting system is now equipped with LED technology, while the look remains unmistakably the same. The cladding of the free-standing tubular steel handlebar now comes in vehicle color, which further emphasizes the fine, color-contrasting air vents above the round headlight.
Those who love a fresh, cheerful color can optionally obtain the handlebar trim in cheeky bright orange as an accessory.
Unmistakable – as one of the Vespa unique selling points – is the typical tie – which stands out in the middle of the leg shield. A Vespa is also easily recognizable from the seat bench. This bench of the GTV is not only a sports bench, but offers comfortable space for 2 people. It is two-tone, with embossing and topstitching. A cover in vehicle color can be purchased as an accessory. This cover not only protects the rear of the seat from dirt, rain and moisture, but also gives an exclusive image.
Color selection of the new GTV 2023:
- Beige Avvolgente Opaco
- Black Convinto, with orange graphics
Numerous details, such as:
- Edge protection of the leg shield
- Base plate of the rear light unit
- Pillion grab handle as well as pillion detents
- Muffler cover
- Rear view mirror
stand out with matte black accents.
Keyless system
The classic ignition lock has been replaced by a rotary knob in the leg shield above the glove compartment. By means of a short push and a turn to ON, the engine can be started. The start button is easily accessible on the right handle.
As standard equipment, there is a USB port in the glove compartment.
The USB charging socket is suitable for connecting the scooter and smartphone or any other peripheral device.
Standard traction control ASR
In addition to the basic equipment with the 2-channel ABS, the new GTV has received a traction control ASR, and that as standard. This traction control system ensures that the wheels of the Vespa do not spin when accelerating. A very useful tool, especially for Vespisti who are often in the city center on cobblestones. So if the rear wheel threatens to spin, the ASR electronics reduce the torque until the tire grips again.
To prevent this from happening at a cavalier start, the tool only works at speeds of 5 km/h and above.
