Vespa GTS 300 or Honda PCX 125: choosing a city scooter

Both scooters are everywhere in the city, but they are built for different riders. The Vespa is a stylish steel-bodied classic, the Honda is a practical and economical commuter.

Performance

With almost twice the power, the GTS 300 is comfortable on fast roads and highways. The PCX 125 is best in town, where its light weight and smooth automatic make it very easy to ride.

Running costs

The PCX is one of the most economical scooters you can buy and parts are cheap. The Vespa costs more to buy and maintain but keeps its value better on the used market.

Verdict

Choose the PCX for daily commuting on a budget. Choose the Vespa if you ride outside the city too, or simply want a scooter with character.
