What is Italy's most famous icon ？

[runningguyrun]

I rode a friend's p 200 about 35 years ago, and it never left my mind. In 2006 I got my first scooter, a Yamaha 125cc Vino. It looked a bit like a Vespa and was a blast. This lead me to getting an old Suzuki 450 motorcycle, and from there to a BMW F650. I rode that motorcycle for the next 15 years. I sold it a three years ago and thought I was done riding. The scooter bug came back to me and three weeks ago I bought a new Vespa 300 GTV. It is beautiful and a joy to ride.

Great vid. Seemingly captures a lot of the local Italian scenery in an artful and artistic manner. Cheers from NY!

Thank you so much for making this video Gregor, I loved every bit of it! I'm saving up to buy my first Vespa after I turn 16 real soon, I've always wanted to get a Primavera, it's my dream scooter. Still so early in the process that I'm still studying towards my learners license and looking at all of the different colours for the Primavera (which all look absolutely beautiful) but I'm so excited to get it I can barely contain myself!

We visited Florence this past June. We did a Vespa tour through the countryside. After 5 hours on a 150 Sprint, I told my wife I was getting one once we got home. 2 weeks later, I picked up my first Vespa, a GTS! So much more fun than any motorcycle I have ever owned.

Gregor, we've been following you for race news and interviews since before you went to Flo, and we are really impressed with the new content, filming and editing since you gave your channel a make-over. We were reminded by your video of the book "Vroom with a View" by Peter Moore. It's all about touring Italy on a 40 year old Vespa. Keep showing us the insider's view of life in Florence!

I have been a big bike rider for over 50 years and I just bought a Vespa GTS 300. I'm impressed with the beauty and smoothness ride you get from a Vespa. I'm in love with the bike. ❤

[msemmahale]

Love that Vespa bikes are synonymous with Italy. Thanks for sharing your love of your adopted country.

Love your videos Gregor, checked out a bunch before we went to Sorrento. Love your shades too, what brand are they ? When I got back from Sorrento I bought myself a brand new blue Vespa Primavera and absolutely love it.

[Hamelmart]

Thanks for these vlogs about life in Italy, very interesting! Keep it up 👍🏻. I’d have to say that for me the Italian icon is the cannoli 😋

[jamescc]

Just came back from Italy and saw so many Vespa. Look them and they are safer with more protection (especially your legs) than regular motorbikes in other places.

I have a white GTS 300 that I’ve had for over 10 years. I really enjoy it but usually only rake it on secondary roads due to traffic. It runs so nice 😎

[housemirim]

In your video you show a place “vespa nueva línea” where is that ?
I have several vespas
From 70’s to 2023
Love them a lot

[billsanders]

Have a Triumph Bonneville but now I feel like I need a Vespa.

[Volgaman]

I bought a 1979 Vespa P200e almost 28 years ago when I was a student, restored it and I made many many kilometers with it. And I slightly modified it along the way. After study I got a car and a motorcycle and since then the Vespa was used rarely or not at all for many years. But I never dared to sell it, I knew I'd regret it. Now I got enthousiastic again, making plans and watching Vespa videos. I still have all the original parts so I will build mine back as it originally was. This year I plan to make some nice holiday trips with it, just like in the days long ago.

In 2018 I took a day trip on the Vespa on my own to vineyards and it was a topper of that trip to Italy Loved it

[urby]

Love the Vespa. I miss Florence/Tuscany countryside. Hope to go back someday. Awesome video too.

[oddbod]

My first Vespa was an LX now got a GTV in Portofino green. Utterly jaw dropping. Thanks for the vid, love it. God bless you mate.

[richardstout]

I’ve got a 2012 GTV 300. Love it. Coffee brown.

Hello gregor, nice Video! I'm Ilham from Indonesia, I rode Vespa LX from 2010 until 2020, when Covid attack, need to build a home office for the online lecturing, so sadly must to sold the vespa. But last month, just took an '83 Vespa PX, found that the engine was stuffed by some japanese racing product, so I call some friend who was active in the classic vespa communities, found a good mechanic and now he rebuild the engine into the standard spec. Hope it done fast, really want to commuting again with vespa. Cheers!
