Just picked up yesterday, it's been stormy here so not a lot of riding yet.

I really love the LEDs at night, the night shots were taken with just the key switched to the on position:

That instrument cluster looks really clean at night! I'm a fan!

Good choice on the white too, classy.

I love it, I just have to train myself to look at the lower numbers (mph) or just learn the kilometer equivalent!

I went back and forth on the color but I'm glad I got the white. The seats on the blue and red are GREY, I don't like them at all. My first choice was originally a black with red seat but the thought of keeping it looking nice . . .

that looks really good, certain things are different from mine. Do you have LED rear light? I wish mine came with rear LEDs. Also, what is that black rounded thing, next to the keyhole?

I see that US bikes has additional blinkers also. Our rear blinkers that are on the body are clear.

The black circle is a seat release, so you don't have to open the seat using the key anymore, like on the GTS.

Yes, my rear side lights are LED, the brake light and headlight aren't. They put those ugly "pod" style turn signals on the US version though, yours is much cleaner looking and I like it.

that's lovely that the US get to have a seat release button. Yeah i wish we have LED front and rear main lights. Do you have single or double pistons front caliper?

On some of the pictures it looks like you might have a different setup on the US bikes. Do you mind taking a pic of the front wheel, with the disc brake side?

Questions for Primavera Owners
Thanks for the post. A few questions if you have a moment.
1) Did you notice the increase in torque?
2) Why no top case?
3) How big is the under seat storage?
4) We're all Vespa fans but is it worth the money?
5) Top likes...dislikes?

Thanks again...enjoy your new ride!

Looks like the new style of Vespa! Pretty nice!

The blue one in the pic at the dealer's is a nice color, too.

You have grass and green trees??!!

1) Did you notice the increase in torque? YES, especially because I had a 2007 carbed LX that needed some work. it's pretty zippy in comparison to that for sure.
2) Why no top case? I personally don't like the look of them. it limits the size of what I can haul also. I have a folding rear rack on order and lots of bungees!
3) How big is the under seat storage? not a lot bigger than on the LX
4) We're all Vespa fans but is it worth the money? oh yeah, but I'm going from a 7 year old carbed LX with no shocks, no speedo/odo, old tires, on and on. if I had the newer LX with the new engines I'd say it probably rides similar but I haven't ridden a newer LX. it feels like a small body GTS to me, it reminds me a lot of my previous GTS250 in the feel while riding.
5) Top likes...dislikes?
too likes: superior fit and finish, these bikes are top quality. The transmission is smooth and the suspension is like gliding on air. It feels great to ride and the 11" wheels are great. can't really think I any dislikes except I wish they had a better color selection. Vespa should have done new colors with this new line to distinguish it more. I am bored of that blue and the brown, ick. I am afraid everyone's going to get the white one.

Thanks again...enjoy your new ride!
Thanks!

I like the blue okay but that was the color of my first LX so I wanted something new. Also love the red seat! Wish they would have done that gorgeous aquamarine again.

yeah, grass, green trees and the pollen count from hell right now!! ;p

That scoot is so sharp, I can't wait until they use those style points with a 350cc engine and 13" wheels and ABS. Hubba, hubba!!

Nice scooter! The color combo of white with a red seat looked so good I'm ordering a red leather seat for my GTS300S. Thanks for the inspiration (and damage to my credit card)

I notice that your speedometer is listed in km/h on the outside and mp/h on the inside of the gauge face. Is that normal for a USA destined machine? I would have thought that the gauge would have been the other way around like it is on cars. I know that's the way the rest of the world gets them, but I would have thought the would have switched the ones heading for the USA.
