I had it and personally think it is not worth of the money!

again, personal advice, search for DAM exhausts in Belgium, same price, much much better execution and quality!
If you looked you would see that I have changed my mind about the Remus and went with the Akrapovic instead. 8)

If you want one I could get it and ship it over for you. We can talk money through PMs.

Might get a black leather bag for the rear end to try and tidy it up.

I wanted that one too but checked out the Dybo sheets and it adds the least amount of power and sounds too loud. I checked PM Tuning, Malossi, Scorpion, and Akropovic. PM Tuning added a good 1hp and at the commonly-used speed/rpm. Unfortunately, it's loud too. The best compromise seems to be the Malossi, which added about .8hp and is the "quietest" of the bunch. The Scorpion is good too. I like quiet power.

Grey scooter is now in the repair shop . The ASR/EFI light keeps coming on and it won't go over 30mph. Had to use back roads to get to the shop. Guy says he'll be shutting for the holiday and I am to get back in touch on January 10 Crying or Very sad emoticon . Time to dig out the summer scooter, I really didn't want to use the blue one in the winter but needs must

Which Front Rack
Hi Sixpence

What front rack is that?
It looks like the Piaggio, but I don't recognise the extra curved tube at the bottom?

I remember Cowdenbeath from the football scores on a Saturday evening.

If I google Cowdebeath the first thing that comes up is the football scores Laughing emoticon Laughing emoticon

Is it perhaps this one rather by F.A Italia in black and chrome?

I did a very pleasant 80 mile round trip to my local Vespa dealer this morning on the 250 MP3 so I could get a few pics of the GTS to put on here. I took a photo of the side of the scooter and one of the front mudguard to show the difference when the other bits and pieces are added. The shop also said that I was to take one of their logo so I could drum up some business for them but I don't think I would be allowed to post that picture on here.
That's excactly the same as I have just bought, 2013 with 8K miles, a silver grey colour, mine has a colour matched Vespa rear box, chrome front rack and a small Vespa front screen, and a touring seat, it had a floor mat, but I've removed it after reading the advice on this forum.I only just bought it before we went to Spain, and the weather has been rubbish since we got back, so I'll take it for a decent shakedown when the we ather improves, if ever!!
