Modern Vespa

Still only a few hundred miles of experience. But love where I'm going

2014 Gts 250i.e.
@60.000kms
Helmet painted by myself

Mine finally arrived. Delayed by Covid and then the original bike was found to have a large dent in the side when it was uncrated (bottom pic). The dealer did a great job sourcing a replacement in double quick time. Just glad there's still some summer left to enjoy it.

Looks good in grey!
Just out of interest who was your dealer?
Have you any upgrades planned?

The dealer was A&D Motorcycles in North Wales. I can't fault them, they did a great job in the circumstances and I'd happily recommend them.

I don't intend to tinker with it too much, I've added the smoked Cruiser screen from SIP and I suspect I'll be changing the mirrors for something less obtrusive in the near future. May also swap the exhaust at some point.

Oh, nearly forgot, I've fitted the SLUK guards front and back in an attempt to fend off the dreaded 'r' word as well.

Modified Notte

New garage for the GTS😉

Here’s my 2007 250ie

I’ve had it for about 3 weeks. I used to putt around on a Honda Rebel, this is so much nicer!

I love this scooter. I need a new carrier on the back, however, anybody have a link? The lock is busted already.

Thanks![img]

Do you mean the top case? If it’s just the lock that’s in disrepair, I would recommend trying to replace the lock only before chucking the whole case. As for parts and accessories and such, check out www.scooterwest.com. They’re a forum sponsor and have a ton of parts in stock. Welcome to MV!

Thanks for the welcome and the link!

I see I haven’t gotten any better at posting photos on these forums either! Dammit lol

It’s black, it has a brown seat. Not crazy about the seat either... I don’t like the carrier, I’m thinking about just getting like a canvas bag I saw online. I think the wind is worse when I use it, it sits so high.

They don’t want much for a new one do they?! LOL 😂

Thanks again! Aside from the things I don’t like... I looove my scooter! ❤️

Yes! Sorry Masala! The top case 👍

Today’s ride in the canyons - a few new to me farkles . . .

Another photo — I can’t seem to select multiples

Love the green accents!
