Congrtulations. You'll love it. I have one parked up in my dad's garage in Northern Ireland, which I use to tour around the province when I go over there to visit him once a month. It's a great little machine.

You've been tango'dbarryG wrote:As the wife doesnt like touring anymore (I go too fast, too far etc etc) thought Id get shot of the Burger 400. So, bit of negotiation and next week Im the proud owner of......... a Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport in orange.
Shes very happy, as we can do scooter stuff again and me too as the Maxi social/meet scene is non existant down here.

If you want to see what you've missed with the X10, you could always come over and have a look some time, not too far to Shoreham.

The dealer did mention the X10, but I fancy a complete change for a time.

BarryG,
be careful when filling with fuel,petrol tank hole is very small and its very easy to over fill and get petrol everywere
other than that i cant fault mine its a very nice scoot, im a bit undecided at moment whether to change it for a bigger engine

Yes, I remember my GTV 250 was a real pain to fill up. Used to spew out the top.

Re: Ive just bought.... part 3!
Barry, me thinks you will have loads of fun on it. I considered the GTS300 but we didn't have a dealer at the time (we do now) and my longs legs and need for several hours in the saddle some days stopped me. But there is no doubt it's one of the best out there. We will all look forward to your posts about it I'm sure. 

Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: Ive just bought.... part 3!
You mean when it rusts, the bearings fail and fuel injector plays up!!!!! I had loads of fun with my GTV but my need for a touring machine saw her go, reluctantly I might add.
I just hope the motor in my one performs better than the one I tried in a Bev 300
