Vespa GTS250ie I ride this machine all year round, but it is used 90% for commuting, 9% for shopping, and the remaining 1% for touring (just the right ratio). I only go on long trips once or twice a year. I think there are many people in their 40s and 50s who used to ride a lot in their 20s, but got married, had children, and gradually became estranged from motorcycles. I am one of them. I am past my peak as a rider, but I still want to be a motorcycle rider. I have been riding various Japanese motorcycles from 80cc to 850cc, and now I have settled on Vespa. I have been riding two Vespas for over 10 years because they fit my finances, physical strength, and how I use them. There are many ways to enjoy motorcycles, but in my case, I am a touring biker, so I continue to travel little by little. I hardly have any opportunities to go out on my motorcycle other than commuting, but this GTS has exceeded 100,000 km, so I had it overhauled. The ride has improved dramatically, so I am feeling the urge to ride again. I'd like to take this opportunity to go for a few runs in the nearby area.
