2011 Vespa GTS 125 Super Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2011 Vespa GTS 125 Super scooter motorcycle, Vespa pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.1 HP (10.3 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12 Nm (8.9 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 113.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the GTS 125 Super measures 151 kg (333 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 250 km (155 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 101 km/h (63 mph).
