honest

It's not really a new GTS is it ?

It's a GTS with a lovely new coat of paint and some technical additions to assist the rider.

Manufacturers will often "load or spec up" a model that's coming to the end of it's run to make sure the remaining units will fly off the shelves just before the new model comes out.

Ironically this is usually the model to buy because by now of the problems should have been ironed out.

Not sure what you mean by "this". The "multi-media platform" is already available on the 946, and an ABS system is available on the 946 and the soon to be released Sprint. Or are you asking if the whole package will eventually be available in England and Europe as an upgraded GTS 125?

I will totally buy one when they release. Sure I already have a GTS, but the more the merrier. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the aftermarket to release products.

I totally dig the blue and it looks prime for some nice aesthetic mods to really make it pop. The PMP is interesting, and a nice little gadget but not entirely necessary. I think some Yourban wheels, or maybe Zelioni would look pretty sweet.

Only concern with ASR is would it play nice with aftermarket wheels, and altered tire aspect ratio?

When will the new GTS be available @ dealers?

Also to the people saying that this new GTS is just the same one with different paint, was curious- what exactly would the GTS have to look like for you to consider it to be "new"?

The Vespa is such a classic design, it almost doesn't seem possible to me to release something too dramatically different than what it already is.

like the Porsche 911, it still kind of looks exactly the same, just slightly different angles of the curves and headlights.
