Model history

The Vespa 125 GT presented in 1966, the GT stands for Gran Turismo , is the successor to the Vespa 125 Super (VNC). It also receives the engine from this, but otherwise builds on the frame of the Vespa 150 Sprint . By increasing the compression, it now has 6.27 hp.

Visually, the Vespa 125 GTR hardly differs from the Vespa 125 GT, but in contrast to it, it has a double seat bench. "Gran Turismo" is even emblazoned on the rear of the GTR, only on the leg shield there is a small "R" under the name "Vespa GT".
