I recently sold my 2010 Vespa GTS 250. I bought it used in 2016 after moving back to Australia from London. It was nice n cheap due to having 48k kms, a broken fuel gauge, a dent, and a noisy bearing in the clutch.
I replaced the bearing and used it every day for the next five years. Once it passed the 100k kms mark it needed a few things. Starter motor, rear pulley and front wheel bearings. After 120k kms the swing arm bearings became pretty bad and the engine mounts disintegrated.
So at 129 000 kms I put it up for sale and bought a Xevo 250 to get around on.

It was a fantastic bike, 100% reliable and dependable. 5 years, and 83 000kms of fun in the sun!

Can't wait to buy another one!!

They're great fun. Bought mine new in 2011 and sold her this year with 58k on the clock. Sure the idea of powering the clock by battery (mine went flat after 12 months ownership and never replaced), and the lack of weather seal around the push button seat release were odd decisions, but commuting around Melbourne I had a blast. Replaced mine with a GTS300 SuperTech.
