Joan's Xmax easily walked away from my previous Vespa GTS. This newest version of the GTS, the HPE (High Performance Engine) pulls stronger - today, we have the chance for some roll-on competitions...
We took the scoots out of town, where we'd have no traffic and smooth road. The wind was blowing above 22mph, so that may be a factor. We'll try this again sometime on a calm day... calm days are rare here in the Tropical Tip.
It was in the low-70s during our ride; comfortable in our mesh jackets.
If you don't want to watch the video, here are the results:
Race 1: The Xmax pulled ahead.
Race 2: We swapped bikes; the Vespa pulled ahead. Joan thinks it is the rider... it may be someone jumping the gun.
Races 3, 4, and 5: Swap back and reasonably close.
In the end, the Xmax still out-pulls this new GTS. For now. The Vespa will "open up" as it gets more miles on it; it may get closer. ;-)
