Hi and thank you to all for your input and advice.
I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new to me Vespa.

I was going to buy a BV350 for two up riding but went to the dealer with my girlfriend and tried out the 300 with her and really loved the ride. .
So I purchased a used 2016 gts super titanium abs in pretty good shape with 8,000 km on it.

I rode it back from the previous owner and started making it my own.
I think I like to accessorize as much as I like to ride.
It will be used for two up so bought a matching topcase some peg extenders and some new mirrors.

Great advice and information here. I already purchased a few things from SIP and Scooterwest.
Thanks !!!

Welcome to M.V. A great looking scoot you have there. Your last picture shows 2 sets of mirrors, I'm not sure why you need both. I prefer the look with just the bar end set.

Hi! Welcome from DC

Very nice looking scooter.
I like the dual mirrors. I just added bar end mirrors and having those aimed at the main mirror blind spot has been really nice while riding in DC.

Keep 'em both. (unless you don't want to of course )

Hi and thank you.
The previous owner had put on the bar ends he also had some inexpensive lollipop mirrors (not original) and I could not see past my shoulders.
I picked up some nice black sport mirrors and now can see past my shoulder. I will probably put some small blind spot mirrors on them or on the bar ends.

I am not sure about the bar end mirrors going to keep them on for a while and might just swap them out put on some heavy bar end weights and call it a day.

Question?
there are a few scratches in the paint and I would like to know the best place to by some touch up paint for matte titanium grey.

Shalom to you as well in Israel. I did a great motorcycle trip in Israel a few years ago, I rented a vstrom rode through the desert, to the scorpion's ascent and stayed near the Dead Sea.

Hope you didn't do it in the summer. I did that run as part of my Iron Butt ride ten years ago in June and the heat nearly killed me.

Welcome aboard from a fellow Montrealer! Mind you like so many of us I now find myself living in Toronto.

Someone may point you to exactly where to get the paint however you should be able to find the paint code under the seat.

You people always with your buying of 300s … you KNOW you’re just going to convince me to get one myself, right? Razz emoticon

Welcome from the Great Lakes. That’s a sweet looking bike.

Another Canadian, welcome! I remember seeing that scooter on Kijiji when I was searching for a 300 doing a nationwide search.
