An authorized dealer for Vespa, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi carries specific responsibilities and privileges that directly benefit you as a buyer.

Benefits of Buying From an Authorized Dealer

  • Access to the full model lineup: We stock current-year models directly from the manufacturer, not grey-market or parallel imports.
  • Genuine OEM parts and accessories: Every component we install or sell meets the manufacturer's exact specifications.
  • Factory-certified technicians: Our service team receives brand-specific training from Piaggio Group Canada, the parent company of all three brands.
  • Manufacturer warranty support: Your warranty is honoured in full, with no gaps in coverage or authorization disputes.

The Brands: What Sets Each One Apart

Vespa — Italian Style, Engineered for Everyday Life

Vespa is the world's most recognized scooter brand, built in Pontedera, Italy, since 1946. It is not a fashion accessory; it is a precision-engineered urban vehicle with a proven 80-year heritage.

As a Vespa dealer in Barrie and Oakville, Maxxim Motorsports carries models suited for every type of rider.

Popular Vespa Models

  • Vespa GTS 300 HPE
    The flagship Vespa scooter features a 300cc fuel-injected engine capable of highway speeds, perfect for commuting and weekend rides.
  • Vespa Primavera 150
    A lightweight and agile scooter designed for urban travel and short daily commutes.
  • Vespa Sprint 150
    A sportier version of the Primavera with sharper styling and the same reliable drivetrain.

Vespa riders in Oakville benefit from proximity to the QEW and Lakeshore Road commuter corridors, where a Vespa GTS handles daily traffic with ease. Barrie riders appreciate the lighter scooter models for navigating downtown cores and waterfront routes along Kempenfelt Bay.

Aprilia — Race-Born Performance for the Road

Aprilia is Italy's most successful racing motorcycle manufacturer, with more World Championship titles than any other European brand. Every Aprilia road bike carries direct DNA from the RSV4 Superbike that has dominated MotoGP-derived competition for over a decade.

Maxxim Motorsports is now a destination for Aprilia motorcycles in Barrie, Oakville, and the Greater Toronto Area.

Popular Aprilia Motorcycles

  • Aprilia RS 660
    A lightweight middleweight sport bike producing approximately 100 horsepower from a responsive parallel-twin engine.
  • Aprilia Tuono 660
    The naked streetfighter version of the RS 660, offering upright ergonomics and aggressive performance.
  • Aprilia Tuareg 660
    A versatile adventure motorcycle designed for long-distance touring, gravel roads, and backcountry travel.
  • Aprilia RS 457
    An approachable entry-level sport bike ideal for newer riders entering the performance motorcycle world.

Aprilia riders in Barrie benefit from quick access to Georgian Bay touring routes, Muskoka highways, and the winding cottage roads north of Highway 400.

Moto Guzzi — Heritage, Character, and the V-Twin That Defines a Category

Founded in 1921 in Mandello del Lario on the shores of Lake Como, Moto Guzzi is one of the oldest continuously operating motorcycle manufacturers in the world. The brand's signature transverse 90-degree V-twin engine, mounted longitudinally in the frame, produces a riding feel unlike any other motorcycle on the market.

Maxxim Motorsports is now an authorized Moto Guzzi dealer serving Barrie, Oakville, and Southern Ontario.

Popular Moto Guzzi Models

  • Moto Guzzi V85 TT / V85 Strada
    A mid-displacement adventure touring motorcycle with retro styling and strong long-distance capability.
  • Moto Guzzi V7
    A modern classic motorcycle with timeless design and an 850cc V-twin engine.
  • Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber / Roamer
    Low-slung cruisers that deliver torque-rich performance and distinctive Italian character.

Moto Guzzi service in Barrie is now available at our 28 Commerce Park Drive location, with factory-trained technicians handling valve adjustments, belt service, and the longitudinal V-twin maintenance that requires specific tooling and expertise.
