Vespa Gts Super 125 Top Speed
| Member Vespa GTS 125 Super Joined: 12 May 2010 | Hi guys, as abit of a newbie this might sound like a wierd question to some of you but does my GTS have a speed restriction on it, it goes to 70mph no problem but soon as it gets to 72-73 I feel it pull back and slow down, or is this just the top speed? Cheers! |

| Hooked LX150 Joined: 18 May 2010 | I'm used to heavier machines. The wind never bothered them. My last bike was a wing. As I live in the country 25 k's out of Thunder Bay, I have to go on the hwy a lot. And I'll tell you, the transports scare the dickens out of me. Those things blow my Vespa all over. Speed limit on the HWY here is 90 kilometers (55 mph). 55 mph is a good speed for me. To do 70 mph on a Vespa, your thingamabobs are bigger than mine. |

Even on our back-roads the limit is 60 - and on most of those roads you'd be doing well to do more than 50 if you were a speedway rider! No wonder the drivers there take to cooking meals, giving themselves haircuts, or having sex while snailing along. |

| Lurker Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport LV Joined: 01 Jul 2010 | Vespa GTS 125 ie top speed The German magazine "Scooter & Sport" measured the GTS 125 ie with a top speed of 103.1 km/h, e.g. 64.06 mph. The speedo showed 112 km/h at top speed (69.59 mph). I think that's really fast for a 125 cc scooter. |

Speedos are optimistic I reached 60mph (by GPS) on my 125 nonsuper, but I didn't hit the rev limiter yet. But don't get fooled... they certainly can reach over 100km/h, but forget it when riding uphill... even the slighest slope slows you down quite considerably. You'll need bigger engine to cope with hills. |

PS Tom - are you running any sort of windshield? |

| Member Vespa GTS 125 Super Joined: 12 May 2010 | hi mate, ive got a fly screen on at the moment thats all. Im looking at getting an exhaust for it pretty soon which should help with abit of torque, but from what i can gather there isnt much choice other than a leo vince for the gts 125 super |
