I reckon the standard one looks a lot better and according to a dealer I was chatting to not long ago the headlight on the Gtv version isn't very effective as it's mounted too low !

The GTS range are nice scooters to ride though and I wouldn't mind one myself one day.

I had the GTV and prefer it, but yes tHe headlight is useless. Not because its low, but because it uses a lower powered bulb than the std GTS.

You say the deals not good.... a GTS is around 4.5k isnt it and your Burger is a 2008.... so youve lost less than 50% over three years, thats not bad.

Straight swap was for gts300, if they would swap for gtv i would be the owner of a gtv by now, I went to look at gtv today and the picture that vespa advertise is of the matt finish plum colour which i like but the actuall bike is shiny finish which looks naff in that colour IMHO.

So i went for a little ride round today and found another vespa dealers and did a deal for a brand spanker gts300 super in black, my bike in part ex and i get money back and accessories thrown in.

Was well pleased with the deal, im getting it in 2 weeks :D :D :D :D :D cant wait.

I like that although the colour might be an issue. Think I'd prefer red or black with chrome racks.
