out of interest, can I ask why
Because if your braking on the expansion joints on bridges your brakes are released for a split second throwing you forward, i,v experienced this myself many times coming down hill towards some traffic lights, its a pants filler.
I try not to brake on expansion joints if possible, never in the wet, and I ride a bridge (Verrazano) with huge ones every day.

A load of pointless electronics and ABS?

No thanks
Me too, Just Galvanise the bloody thing, thats the best upgrade they could do.
Ditto on the galvanizing, we need to ship some of the Piaggio engineers over to the UK and show them the underneath of my GT200!

There's another thread where somebody had to have their ABS brakes changed out and it cost 1k. Haven't a clue but if that's true i'd say give me the ones i have. Even then the front caliper is $250.

You can see the more slab sided cowls and mudguard in this shot, but I can't get excited about a handlebar mounted phone...

I just ordered a new 125 Super last night... delivery times here in Belgium are very reasonable (2 to 3 weeks), but stocks are rather limited, especially for the black one I ordered. So, a lot of restless nights ahead before the delivery of my first Vespa

Right direction, sign me up
Major improvements to be sure
ABS is a life saver
Have had it on BMWs since 1988, brilliant, life saving!
Bravo

It looks the same to me, I really don't think that they changed the body at all with the exception of the horn cover and tunnel cover.
You're probably right. I thought the lines looked sharper, but I think as my GTS is white, the colour smooths the lines a little. Looking at this stock GTS pic, it looks much the same as the one above of the new one. But then I can't see anything different in the horn cover!

Looks like the same as the Sprint.

In the video you can clearly see the new front suspension.
