Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a while in hopes of one day having something to say. Well today I do, I picked up my GTS 300 super sport today and it is amazing. I've had a buddy 125 for about 2 years and loved it. Now I'm looking forward to years of fun again. [img][/img]

I have a Buddy 150, and that Vespa you have is my dream scoot.

Be careful about spilling gas on that matte black finish.

Great looking bike! Does the matte finish need to be treated differently from the standard finish?

Great looking GTS! I'm sure you will have lots of scooting fun. I've had many motorcycles (big and small) as well as scooters (Vino, Silverwing, Burgman) but love my Vespa 300 the best. Safe riding to you.

Welcome! I love the tims on your new GTS. Can you give me a close-up look of where the black meets the silver. Or are those white wall tires? I will be picking up my new-to-me powder coated rims on Friday to be mounted during my next rear tire change. Now all I need is wear that rubber as fast as I can. Razz emoticon

Nice Scooter! Just like mine...except for the Euro-styling: "Super" decal and ribbed seat. I didn't think they brought those into the US market?

Mine has the same matte finish and I haven't had any problems with finger prints, bird crap, gas spillages, or any other issues with the finish. In my experience, anything on there just wipes right off.

Anyway, congratulations on your new ride!

p.s. my topcase came with a ribbed seatback cushion, which I swapped out for a non-ribbed version. If you're thinking about a topcase, PM me if you want the seat back cushion to match your seat.
