      Vespa had a big surprise for bike lovers at IBW 2015. It displayed four scooters under its umbrella at Vagator, where this was organised. The two most popular among these, were Elegante and the Vespa S. However, two totally new scooters were showcased, with the name Vespa GTS Super 300 and GTS Super 150. These scooters are in the pipeline for the Indian market, as confirmed by Vespa.

      The GTS collection is one step ahead of the current Vespa S or Vespa VX models, which are already available in India. The new models are larger in size with a retro and robust appearance.
