Hello everyone. New member here originally from close to Indianapolis but now living in Utah. Bought my GTS new in 2013 from Vespa Shelbyville Indiana. Need a good dealer I recommend them. I keep up with the maintenance on mine and had the Mallosi V4 racing kit put on couple years ago. Will probably hit 60,000 miles this year. Had Leo Vince 4 road and the SBK mufflers but wore out both of them. Anyone recommend PM Tuning mufflers ? I use S100 brand made in Germany wax & detail to keep mine looking new.

Pretty ride, love the color. Think you gained a lot more riding days with your move from the Midwest and our long, dreary winter to Utah and some awesome scenery.

Thanks. Yes I love red because it looks nice and is more noticeable in traffic. Love to have a new GTS but black with same Zelioni wheels I have and chrome accessories. Black looks good with shiny things.

Wow, you're a good example of the tough engine Piaggio makes!
And it looks new!

My speedometer says like 88 shy of 90mph but who knows how accurate that is ? I just know it feels stronger on takeoff and it's surely going faster than what Vespa claims top speed of 76 I believe. It's been down a few times, rocks hitting it, etc. but that S100 from Germany sure does make it look new lol.

My stock 2010 GTS would peg 90mph (indicated speed) my 215# body on the interstate flat road.
There are many VG paint protection products for sale IMO.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I had a LED headlight before but only lasted about a year. Anyone recommend any new LED headlight that are on the market now ?
