Modern Vespa

I like that color.

Out with the 250??? why would they have a 250,300,400 and 500?

250 is being replaced by the 300

The 300 motor gives you more torque but no more HP than the 250, so it's advantage is better acceleration sometimes. How much is that worth to you ?

More torque will help it keep speed on hills.

the 250 engine is being phased out for the 300 across the product lines with-in piaggio

Stop the video at 32 seconds, it looks like we are finally getting a trunk unlock button, and button that might do something else.

didn't they do that with the LT's

Yup ! No more 250 Vespa's either!

The trans-cover on that motor looks nothing like the motor cover on my 300GTS!

Funky, though I never really examined a 250 Mp3 cover.

Yes in Europe aug 2009 the remote is replaced with the buttons, one thing to disable the buttons, you have to use the stearinglock otherwise the buttons still work

Indeed. If you look at it very closely, you'll see it does not have an oil fliller on that side either. I suspect this is the update of the 300 engine, as the cover looks very similar to the 125ie engine in the GTS Super. I wonder if the 300 revamp will also use an electric water pump?
