OP. I was looking for a 946 because I do think it's amazing looking from a Italian design and when I heard they ride amazing just alittle slow I said ok I can deal with a big bore kit. I just didn't realize that they were hard to come by a couple years ago they were all over dealers with huge discounts I should've grabbed one or two. Oh well I'm excited to pick up the GTS 300 super tech this week and hunt for a 946. I would like a later one with no cross marketing

People have been complaining about the looks of the Justin Bieber Vespa and the OP's GTS's gray color (which I like - and it's a used scoot, so it's not like there is any color choice)? Yet this gaudy faux-gilded monstrosity somehow escapes comment… I'll say it - the Dior 946 is officially the most vile Vespa in recent memory. The previous owner, who put fewer than 500 miles on it in almost 10 years, must have quickly realized the visual assault they were perpetrating on the public and then stuffed it in the back of the garage, covered and out of sight. $35,000? Maybe $3,500 and then use the savings for a makeover. For 35k I'd like the reflectors removed for starters. |

seamus26 wrote: I never liked the 946, but I watched this yesterday. It changed my opinion a little. The main reason why it is so expensive is that all those toolings have fixed costs in development and if those costs are split on smaller number of the units, cost per unit is bigger. Why they want to keep the costs higher? Here come the marketing guys who want to keep the 946 as an exclusive product, for selected clientele. Ok, you are right, some parts on that scooter are unique to that series and not re-used on the other models as well, again, granting the exclusivity. It is OK to be sentimental as a reaction to the PR spin story, but let's stick to the facts. At the end I would like to emphasize something: all mentioned above does not change a bit the fact that we are speaking about an absolutely gorgeous Vespa that I would like to possess, am just wishing that it was not reserved to the more Jeff Besos ones of us. P.S. I like the simple one tone paint of the model that the author has, compared to blingy new-money Christian Dior paint scheme. But in the world where paying 35-58k for a scooter is not a problem, some excess in lack of good taste seems to be appropriate (to some people). P.P.S. oh, this 946 is crying out loud for Zelioni rims which are, unfortunately, not produced any more. OEMs are similar to them, just with too many unnecessary details. Pity IMO. |

It has really grown on me the longer I have owned it. At least it is glossy and not matte. Matte paint to me looks like primer waiting for a clear coat. |

Mine only had 179 miles on it, was in perfect condition and was being sold by a guy living 4 miles from me for thousands less than the cost of a new one. I get compliments on the color all the time. People posting negative comments about the color of a scooter owned by someone here makes little sense in my opinion. When you make a post like this, we all know you are only expressing your opinion, but you are criticizing someone else's scooter in addition to expressing your opinion. Why do that? ![]() Thelonica, where she normally rests (but isn't at the moment, because Total Recall). |

Why do that? if the reason was really bargain buying, I can relate to that: once I bought car of my (affordable) dreams with <300 km on tacho (practically new), with so called Tageszullassung (this is something by law in Germany, if a new car was not sold by dealership within one year, they need to register it for one day only and it becomes the 2nd hand automatically) and discount of whooping 40%. the only minus to the car was the grey metallic colour, also not my favourite. |

Might be that the standard ones are not available and only the Dior and other such editions are available (which cost considerably more than the standard 946) |

Apex, sadly there are those who have to post negative comments about others choice in brands, models and color. Why they are compelled to pee on another persons parade is a sign of their character.
So too, those who appoint themselves the thought police. Yes, the 946 is a design exercise. Isn't that why most of us bought a Vespa in the first place. Stylish and classic. |

There's one for sale near me for an ungodly sum of money. I don't know what they are worth, but it seems absurd. My grumpiness aside, I guess if anyone is desperate to find one and has a lot of money with a 946 written on it I can point you to it. I realize they don't grow on trees
