And I am very happy.

The scooter was superbly presented, it even looks like the exhaust bolts & wheel nuts have been copper-greased!

There are a few changes from my 03 GT - the rear light, the seat finish & some switches..

Felt great to get back on a GT after a week with the X9 - nothing feels like a Vespa! The 200 is much livier than the 125, even while running in it has a real kick. I was dubious when I saw the Sava tyres, but they felt good on the 60 mile run home (took the country route).

Got the scoot home & added my screen & top box & loaded it up with the usual "stuff" I keep in my scooters. Had to spend the reat on the dat re-doing a conservatory, so let's hope it's sunny tomorrow..

Congrats! That's my scooter! I'm seeing more and more of the grey GTs. I think that grey is the new red!

Happy Riding.
Looks great. Of all the miles I've ridden on two-wheelers, I think the 6000 or so I rode on my grey GT200 were the happiest of all. I hope you have the same experience.

Great looking scooter. I have a 2005 GT200. Gotta get a little braver before I yank the North American reflectors off.

Congrats!!!
