So a true 300cc engine? What about the transmission, anything new there?

New GTS is going a bit far, upgraded yes...

I dunno, isn't the current machine 22HP? If there is in fact an actual 300 in that bike...they didn't GAIN anything, did they?

According to the Vespa USA site, it is 21.1 hp... Wow, 0.9 gain! That's impressive!

So my question is... Can I buy replacement front blinkers and get some LED running lights for my current GTS? I can handle the wiring, I just think that their LED bank is pretty slick looking.

The article does not claim any changes to the engine/transmission, and most references identify the current 278cc engine as 22 hp.
