Yes, Vespa 300 EFI is a performance slug compared to any Kymco with 300 cc's.
Yep. Got in an facebook dust up with another user who got a Downtown 300i loaner for his Vespa 300EFI, where he called the Downtown "Slow". He then proceeded to tell the world how his (349lb GTS 300 with 20hp) could beat a (367 lb Downtown with 30hp), and claimed that the top speed on his GTS was over 95mph.
It is absolutely hilarious what a Vespa owner will say when confronted with the realities of a Downtown. The fact is, the Vespa is a dated, classic design. Yes, the GTS 300 is a fine machine. If I could buy a low mileage used one (or a 250ie) for under $1500, I'd add it to my stable. So I IN NO WAY hate on the GTS 300, but it is nowhere NEAR as fast as a Downtown 300i.
