My next question... I've seen Robot's video reviews of the GTS300 and noticed that the USA models have MPH biased speedometers.
Here in the UK Vespa speedometers are now all KPH biased which is a p.i.t.a. because our speed limits are in MPH.

So can anyone tell me, will a USA spec speedometer work OK fitted in a UK spec scooter?
Does anyone know the list price for a GTS speedometer in the USA?
Is an MPH biased speedometer available from Piaggio as an option in the UK?

Have seen the SIP aftermarket one, but would prefer an original.

If the ET4 could have an mph speedometer in the UK, why not newer models? Grrrr.

It's irrelevant really, as the speedos are so far out (5mph + at least 5%) that you have to add bits of tape at the desired marks.

First tiny one is 20mph, then 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and another tiny one for 80. Calibrated by GPS...

For me it is the most beautiful graphics of the modern Vespa, even the one with a white background.
