hello and from me, new to the forum here, I want to ask a question, I am thinking of buying the new GTS 300 SuperTech 2023. I would like someone to tell me, will it be released now? do we have some pictures of what it will be like? the colors maybe? Thanks.

It's not the colors that bug me on these new 2023 GTSes, it's the fact they look cheap with contrasting fake carbon fibre accents, plastic chrome around switches and decals that rather than complementing them, make them look like someone had a go at modding their Vespa at home. A poster above stated - now I like my 2019 even more, I tend to agree with that statement.

Did Sean Wotherspoon bet somebody at Piaggio that they couldn't make a Vespa that looked worse than his?

Also, based on the controls, there's a bright red one over its shoulder.

I never liked white or matte colors. Love yellow, green, blue and I can live with red. If we won't get a new green "Racing Sixties" I'll probably go for the red one...

I actually kind-of like this white, despite not liking most of the other colors.
GTS Super seems to have these colors: - gloss white - gloss red - matte black - matte sand/yellow I haven't seen any standard GTS or GTS SuperTech colors. |

Looks like dealers could have a lucrative little side business by offering to color-match the chrome switch covers. Here's also hoping the pre-2023 horn cover is interchangeable with this new one, because ugh. Maybe the non-carbon-look ones a are a little less egregious to look at, though.

All other previous designs were closer to a Macpherson strut, where the angle of the hub/caliper was dependent on the shock angle. Now the hub/caliper will move through an ark defined by the two links. There will be less sideways load on the shock when braking as all the load will be transferred to the links. |

Looks like the Super Sports all have black trim, except the silver, some of these would look really nice with a little heat gunning to the stripes
But what do I know, I'm happily riding a plain Jane white Primavera but I could be happier on a GTS ![]() ![]() ![]() |

They blacked out everything on the Super Sport line but kept the chrome switch surroundings. Was it so difficult to do them in black too??
I don't think that we'll see a Racing Sixties so I'm looking at the Orange/Red Super Sport... |

Holy crap! the price has gone up quite a bit! $800 more for the super sport! that's a steep hike and I'm sure the freight and setup charges will increase too.. These "premium" scooters will now cost over $10K OTD !! At this point it's worth buying a 22 model in a different state and having it shipped.
