Welcome aboard!

Lots of Vespas in Sydney. I think the GTS (250 and 300) is the ideal combination of size/power/convenience for Sydney city commuting.

Welcome Neil, I can fully understand wanting to down size from a 600lb scooter.

New 300 GTS/ABS
Welcome to MV. I just bought a 2015 300 GTS ABS in June, and love it. Came from many years of motorcycles, and found the 300 to have plenty of power, and also very nimble to ride.

Hi Neil, I just got back from a ride with the Sydney City Scooter Club. We had a gentle afternoon ride along the north side of the harbor, west of the bridge, visiting various viewing spots. All Vespas on this occasion, some twisties and some geared, but all makes of scooters are welcome.

Hope you will join us when you have your steed. We meet at Corelli's, in Newtown, Tuesday nights for coffee and chat and sometimes a ride, and first Sunday of the month for an afternoon ride.

Hope to see you soon.

Mike

Sorry. English 'joke' from the 60's. We innocent young lads were led to believe that all Aussie guys were called Bruce and all Aussie gals were called Sheila. It made it easy to remember names.

Likewise Aussies call all English blokes Nigel.

Reference the Top Gear episode when the three lads hosted their Aussie counterparts.

All said in the best of fun!
