Vespa Australia has announced the imminent on sale date of the GTAS 150 Super 3V scooter, and is said to “combine the compact and efficient three-valve engine of the Primavera range with the spacious chassis of the larger proportioned GTS range”.
The rigid all-steel chassis, unique to all Vespa models, continues with GTS 150. Visually, the scooter is almost identical to its larger capacity namesakes – the GTS 250, GTS 300 Super and GTS 300 Super Sport - and features graphics similar to those found on the Super Sport series. The large 12-inch wheels, standard on the GTS range, are retained along with the easy-to-read black analogue speedo. For pillions, there are fold-out footpegs and a chrome rear grab rail.
The new GTS comes with 220mm disc brakes fitted front and rear, and there are twin rear shocks. The sidestand includes an engine safety cut-out switch, while security features include Vespa key coded electronic engine immobiliser.
The GTS 150 Super 3V comes in a choice of three colours: Rosso Dragon (red), Monte Bianco (white) or Grigio Titanium (grey).
Price is $6690, plus on-road costs, and it will go on sale in September 2014.
