Hello ,

Vespa tells that GTS 250 i goes 120 km/hour, but mine I have 2 GTS 250 i, they both goes 140 km/hour and the limiter comes there 140 km/hour.

How are yours GTS running?

It is funny that factory tells max speed is 120 km/hour, but they are runnning 140 km/hour.

Here in Finland max speed is 120 km/hour if you are running speedroads.So 140 km/hour is quit enought.

I can't get mine to go faster than 87mph (140.1 kph) either. Not that I really want to. And remember, that's indicated, not actual speed.

I have had mine up to 85mph but I think it would have gone alittle higher.
Cars were in front of me and I had to slow down. I think the limit is set to 9,000 rpm?

This is true! About 5 mph true (fast), more above 80 indicated.

Ah. A fellowman from the Finland! 8)
Yes the speedo indicates 140 but I think the speed is around 130'ish or less around that time. But it's already mighty scary considering the quality of roads Even the slightest bumps feel like hills when you hit them.

My limiter comes in around 9000 kpr, GTS would like to go even more, but then limiter hits in, I have heard that you can buy boxes at least for GT which cuts limiter out, so yoy can go as fast sa you can, are there boxes also for GTS ??

I just bought PM tuning box , but it is not kind of model that take limiter off.

Remember:
Driving your Vespa it isn't about how fast you can travel from A to B....

It's the journey between that counts!!!!

Do you by any chance ride a black GTS with PM-exhaust? Did I see your scooter at Annankatu motorcycle parking space last spring? It would be nice to see that in action! Next week at Mestarintalli?
