Technical Overview
2016 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Vespa's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2016 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport utilizes a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22.3 Nm (16.4 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 79.1 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the GTS 300 Super Sport measures 158 kg (348 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.18 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, combined with a 1,369 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.08-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.94 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 309 km (192 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 129 km/h (80 mph).
