dodgy regs yes. dodgy springs yes. wonky stands yes. worn out engine cradle bearings yes, rusty exhaust yes

depends how long you want to keep it lol

btw the orange gts300s have a software glitch that hasnt been fully sorted yet. may be worth waiting a month or 2 just in case a recall is thrown up

Those cradle bearings arent properly greased in the factory, along with headset bearings and other items. If you buy one from Cheeky Toms dealership he sorts all the issues at PDI ;)

Can't help but think that a Vespa GTS would be a significant downgrade from an X-Max.
But hey if you want a Vespa only a Vespa will do.

Ya Probably right - Gonna Stick with the X Max for now...

3 years and 23k miles - gonna need a good going over, Valve Clearances, New Air Filter and Tx Filter, Belt / Rollers, should do the brake fluid, maybe a lick of paint on the zorst, defo undo the zorst manifold nuts and coppa slip...

Hopefully keep me going another 2 years or so...
