I want to thank you all in advance, as I will be seeking advice on my ride from time to time. But for now I'm all smiles as I enjoy the GTR.

Not sure of all the differences, but the GTR has a round headlight.

R = "rinnovata" which means renewed or you could say possibly refreshed (nuova in Italian means new). The GTR has an extra port over the GT and supposedly one extra kilometer an hour (93 versus 92) top speed.
Please don't ask how I know this as I am no expert on old Vespas.
