The TOURING SPECIAL EDITION
Style and comfort in timeless lines: the Vespa Touring versions are inspired by the legend of touring on a Vespa.

The 2012 GTS 300 Touring Special Edition, available for the mighty Vespa GTS draws inspiration from the thousands of specially equipped Vespas for touring that have taken entire generations on road trips all over the world. This is a range dedicated to the love for touring, with a proper mix between unmistakeable Vespa style and the practicality of a vehicle which can leave the city limits behind and set out on medium range touring.

Vespa GTS Touring 300, in the elegant "Marrone Terra di Toscana" colouring, presents itself as the Vespa for medium range touring thanks to its state of the art single cylinder 300 cc electronic injection engine which is characterised by a power of 22 HP and its high level of torque (22.3 Nm) reached at low rpms. On the road, these numbers translate into great flexibility and low speed pick-up that are always able to guarantee silky smooth and easy riding.

The GTS Touring's single cylinder engine is extremely environmentally friendly, fully complying with the strictest emissions regulations thanks to the catalytic converter system and the advanced SAS secondary air system in addition to the state of the art global design.

The finishings of the Touring Special Edition are designed to enhance the Vespa line: the standard chrome finish luggage racks on the front and back ends, increase the load capacity of the vehicle quite considerably; the rounded transparent headlight fairing embraces the Vespa's eye with a touch of style and increased protection for the rider. The new saddle with new design thermobonding complements the vehicle thanks to colour-coding with the body colour.

A design element which further enhances the refined style of this Vespa is the colouring of the side plastic panels which embrace the lower part of the vehicle, colour-coded with the bodyshell in Marrone Terra di Toscana.
The powerful GTS 300 has now been given the “Touring” treatment to create a model which is perfect for mid-to-long range travel and finished in “Marrone terra di Toscana” a stunningly rich metallic brown.  The fitment of the chrome front and rear luggage racks give the GTS enhanced luggage carrying capacity and the fly screen gives added protection and improved looks.

POWERFUL, SPORTY, AND OH-SO STYLISH.
The Vespa GTS 300 is an uncompromising fusion of breathtaking performance, technical superiority and classic Vespa design. The GTS 300 has 12” alloy wheels, front & rear disc brakes and a liquid cooled engine with electronic fuel injection.
