Now looking at a 2009 with 19,000 miles, white with Akra exhaust, heated grips, new belt, rollers, brake pads and new back tyre with 5 months MOT left.
What's it worth?
great scoots, but you really need to look at any GTS closely to check for rust before making an offer, I really like them but check the underneath before bidding. I hope you find a nice one. thumb.gif

There's a 2010 with 18 k miles 29 k kms £2250 at a dealer on eBay so £2k maybe nearer the mark I'm be lucky to get one for £1750 .Depends how much you want one and how long want to keep it .Probably get a 250 cheaper I think they are 248 whereas 300 is 279 .

Battery compartment did have some signs of slight rust, so cleaned it out and covered with a coat of ACF50. I'll probably lift the floor and do the same.
