2009 Vespa GTS250i.e. | Well-Maintained | Fuel Injected | Final Model Year
Up for sale here is a 2009 Vespa GTS 250i.e. in black with about 8,600 miles. This is a fuel-injected, reliable, and strong, large-frame Vespa suitable for city streets, highways, and back roads. I’ve owned her since 2022 and put on about 3,400 miles. This Vespa starts every time, runs well, and has been very dependable.
Model Year Clarification:
This Vespa is indeed a 2009 model GTS250i.e., which was the final production year for the 250 model. It was first sold off the lot in 2010, which is why the DMV had it listed as a 2010 on its title. This was a puzzle to me, so I had the DMV validate the actual model year and corrected the title accordingly.
