2027 Vespa GTS 310 SuperSport

David's Take 50 Years on Two Wheels I'll admit something. After nearly 50 years of riding motorcycles, including everything from dirt bikes and supermotos to some of the fastest sportbikes available, I never imagined I'd become such a fan of Vespas. But since joining Erico Motorsports and having the opportunity to ride them regularly, I've discovered something: these things are an absolute blast. And the GTS 310 SuperSport might be my favorite example of why. The first thing that surprises you is how much fun a Vespa can be. They're incredibly maneuverable, easy to ride, and have a playful personality that makes even a quick trip across Denver enjoyable. There's no clutch to manage, no gears to shift, and no complicated riding modes to figure out. Just twist the throttle and go. It's motorcycling stripped down to the simple pleasure of being on two wheels. But don't confuse the GTS 310 with a little 50cc neighborhood scooter. Its 310cc liquid-cooled engine produces 25 horsepower, making this the most powerful generation of Vespa's classic large-frame scooter. There's enough performance to comfortably keep up with city and suburban traffic, and the smooth automatic transmission makes riding effortless. What I particularly appreciate is how substantial and well-built the GTS feels. Vespa's traditional steel body construction gives it a sense of quality that sets it apart from many plastic-bodied scooters. The suspension is surprisingly composed, the brakes are reassuring, and the compact dimensions make navigating traffic and finding parking almost ridiculously easy. The SuperSport adds a little extra attitude with its sporty finishes, blacked-out details, contrasting seat stitching, and distinctive styling. It's unmistakably a Vespa, but with a more aggressive personality. And then there's the lifestyle side of owning one. Imagine heading downtown for dinner, meeting friends for coffee, or simply taking the long way home on a beautiful Colorado afternoon. The Vespa makes those ordinary moments feel a little more special. It's practical transportation, certainly, but it's also an excuse to get outside and enjoy yourself. I'll still happily throw a leg over a Ducati Panigale or my Husqvarna 701 Supermoto. But I've learned that there's something uniquely satisfying about riding a Vespa. It doesn't ask you to ride fast or prove anything. It just makes you smile. If you're a lifelong motorcyclist who's never taken a Vespa seriously, I understand. I used to be that guy. Come ride a GTS 310 SuperSport. You might be as pleasantly surprised as I was. — David Goodman General Sales Manager Erico Motorsports Nearly 50 Years on Two Wheels 2027 Vespa GTS 310 SuperSport
