Q & A with Vespa's Brand Manager: Why so Pricey, What's With the Small Wheels, and What's New for 2009?
Monday December 1, 2008
After some seat time on a Vespa S 150 (review coming soon), I developed a few lingering questions about why Vespa does things the way they do. So naturally, I pestered the company's brand manager, Kevin Andrews, who offered explanations for the Italian philosophy behind building scooters.
Kevin also told me that the biggest Vespa ever, the 2009 GTS 300 Super, is coming to the States early next year. So to get the scoop on lingering Vespa questions, read my Q & A with Kevin Andrews, and check out shots of the supersized Italian scoot' in this 2009 Vespa GTS 300 Super Photo Gallery.

Not a scooter fan, but you’ve got to give them credit for the classic design. However, for less than the Vespa 300 I believe you can get a Burgman 400 or Majesty 400.
