Engineered by Vespa for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2007 Vespa GTS250ie pairs a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21.1 HP (15.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 86.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 GTS250ie measures 151 kg (333 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.16 kg per horsepower). The 9.2-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 122 km/h (76 mph).
