2006 Vespa Granturismo 200
$5,299.00
Released January, 2006
The 4-stroke 4-valve 200cc engine is liquid-cooled and remarkably powerful. The L.E.AD.E.R. (Low Emissions ADvanced Engine Range) engine has the power to pull away from almost any kind of traffic you encounter.
The Granturismo's exceptionally low levels of air and noise pollution well exceed the standards being considered in Europe and America many years from now.
With its chrome mirrors and classic Vespa lines, the Granturismo is a thoroughly modern scooter true to its heritage. On the Granturismo you find the kinds of touches that have made Vespa world-famous: pressed steel monocoque chassis, 5-spoke die-cast alloy wheels, chrome retractable passenger footrests, and a classic floorboard design. And the Granturismo shines in the evening: the vintage-style dashboard lights up blue for excellent night-time visibility, and the halogen headlamp provides plenty of illumination.

#2006_vespa_granturismo_200 I love my GT200. I bought it new and have driven it for a year in Minneapolis, only driving my winter beater for three months. My only complaint is that the storage underneath the seat isn't ample for everyday needs, it won't even hold my full face helmet. I will eventually buy a topcase, but at $350, it's pretty pricey for a piece of painted plastic. Just Sayin'

#2006_vespa_granturismo_200 I hate cars. Its like your inside a big metal box(which you are). I like to ride out in the elements with mother nature. I rarely drive anywhere. Instead I rollerblade. This would be great to get to places I cant rollerblade to.

#2006_vespa_granturismo_200 I was really tired of gas prices. I couldn't even really afford car payments (in the military), so paying almost three dollars a gallon was just killing me. I saw a smaller Vespa ride by (I think it was the 150) and thought it probably did well on gas but wouldn't be able to go fast enough to get me from one 40 mph area to another via a highway. Then I saw this on the Vespa website: Goes over 65? I'll look into it.
I went and picked it up two weeks later. I got mine in a Vintage Green: you know, the color of your gandma's refrigerator from the 60s. This thing handles like a dream; hardly bats an eye going over 70 mph. I fill up with premium every two weeks and it costs about six dollars (average) to do so. I can get seventy miles to the gallon after an oil change. Anything I don't like about it would be so inconsequential in comparison to the value of this thing. Winter. Winter is a problem. Don't drive it in winter. Starts up fine but, you know, ice and all.
The space under the seat will fit a laptop and maybe some books. About four days of groceries, maybe. Get the luggage trunk for the back and you can get a weeks worth.
And I thought I would have to pretty much surrender my manhood for buying it but, as it turns out, the hipster coffeehouse type girls love it.
