Vespa 300 Super Sport Review: Italian Style Meets Surprising Performance
The Vespa 300 Super Sport proves that looking effortlessly cool doesn't mean sacrificing performance, with its 300cc HP engine delivering 23-24 horsepower and genuine touring capability across 1000 kilometers of Australian roads. This contemporary take on timeless Italian design combines classic Vespa styling with modern reliability and surprising versatility.
Key features include electronic traction control (ASR), ABS braking with Brembo calipers, keyless ignition, and smartphone connectivity via the Vespa MIA app. The smooth CVT transmission excels in traffic while the 300cc engine provides adequate freeway performance, though fuel economy drops at sustained highway speeds.
Available in Verde Olivy, Bianco Innocente, and Nero Opaco colorways at $13,530, the Super Sport offers premium Italian engineering with excellent resale value. While the wide seat can feel awkward at stops and pillion accommodation is limited for longer rides, the overall package delivers that unmistakable Vespa charm with genuine touring capability.
For riders seeking style with substance, the 300 Super Sport proves that Vespas can handle serious adventures while maintaining their iconic Italian sophistication.
