Hi, anyone can share ownership experience of a vespa GTS 300 HPE? The cons side?

Plan to get 1 for daily work, jam area 5km distance to office only.

HPE? cons side:
1. Small 12 inch tire diameter, less stable on high speed highway. Good thing is the top speed is 127 kmph only.
2. Since its tops 127 kmph, you can change the speed ring in the front (or back) i forgot, to the unrestricted one, then it will increase to more than 130 kmph, but remember the point no 1.

Many GTS owner changed to Gilera 13inch rims for more traction on the road.

Thanks for sharing, I think it will be not an issue for me since my average speed is just 80-100 seldom ride more than 110-120.

Not sure is that I'm still not use to it, after tested I just found out the handle is little bit heavy on low speed for narrow road u turn compared to my 250 scooter and seat slightly high for me if can be lower down 20-30mm it will be feel more confident when stopping.

Seems like very less vespa owner over here?
