2020 Vespa Sei Giorni 300 (Vespa/)

As the embodiment of “Vespa’s Racing Soul” the Vespa Sei Giorni 300 brings some of Vespa’s racing heritage to the scooter lineup. You read correctly, Vespa’s racing heritage. The iconic Italian brand pays homage to the model that was produced for the Varese International Six Day race in 1951. The black number plate on the side and front are accented by other black details throughout the machine. This model differs from the other lineup offerings with its low headlight position, smoked windshield, and “single seater” seat (also approved for a passenger, Vespa says). This scooter is powered by a 300cc HPE engine that’s suitable for making a mini racecourse out of the spaces between the bumper-to-bumper traffic.

2020 Vespa Sei Giorni 300 Reviews, Comparisons, And Competition

Some competitors of the Sei Giorni 300 could include Vespa’s very own GTS 300. If you are looking for higher engine displacements in a scooter, then you can look up the Suzuki Burgman 400 for example.

there is no such thing as a quick google search.

Your right there i watched Pedro's video earlier and then spent 15m watching bulldozers push rocks and muck about before i realised i was doing something else

I like it but that headlight looks very vulnerable.

I have never ridden a Vespa, but I have ridden a couple of Gileras, less premium and more plasticky but with little wheels as well, and you do feel vulnerable on top of it.

I passed my test on a Vespa SS180 in 1971.....I had a lot of fun on it actally.

Lot of crashes on it too it has to be said!
