Really should have black break levers, sigh. Thanks for the front view of the white. They don't have any on the website. I swear every photo I see with the orange in it, strip or whole scooter the color is different.

With the other colors of the SuperSport it might be difficult in vehicle color, but there remains at least black. The switch panel will also be available soon in the accessories, wait and see in which colors. I'm afraid though that all colors except carbon(-imitate) and maybe black will probably have to be painted. Note: the brake levers of the pre-facelift do NOT fit the 2023 facelift! |

Personally I honestly don't notice the reflectors until pointed out.
I can only imagine the furore when indicators first appeared on the PX! |

The reflectors are very small anyway. Much better to have a visible scooter - yellow, orange, white, blue, anything but black. A gloss black GTS looks beautiful, but it is a crazy colour choice if you plan to do any night riding.
If a driver doesn't see you, it's because he/she didn't look. I don't think the reflectors make any difference. Ride defensively and treat everyone as stupid.

what's the best mount for iPhone to use the gps that is compatible for the 2023 vespa gts? I was thinking a ram ball mount for the side mirrors because I saw in a video it can use many different angles but I heard they changed the mirror design so this mount is no longer compatible. can anyone help me out? much appreciated thanks.

Quadlock with anti vibration dampener. Personally I prefer the mirror stem mount but a ram ball on the mirror works fine. My 2023 FTS with Garmin XT and Quadlocjk mounts. I prefer to put my phone on the windchills support to minimize wind on it but I coul easily have put it on the ram ball I use with the Garmin.
I added an extra USB port as I do long trips so have the powered Quadlock mount and sometimes also plug in a camera. |

Hello Guys , after 4 months waiting list my GTS 125 2023 will be ready for purchase next week from the dealer . İt's a Beige color GTS 125 2023 model brand new. My previous scooter was a Yamaha Nmax 125 2020 model matt gray with 12hp Dualcore water cooled engine , Abs and 13 inch Dunlop tyres and I made 4400km all on weekend trips to west coast villages of Mediterranean coast of Turkey . The handling and engine power was so satisfactory but it was not comfy on the village roads .I purchased Vespa to be a more comfortable option but still not sure if the sitting position and engine power as well as torque on the engine will be satisfactory after Nmax . That's why I still didn't sell Nmax . The only bad thing about Nmax was unfortunately having solid rock suspension. İt's a complete stile change i know and completely different scooter and hope will i like that.

Walked into the Vespa dealer in Bari today and saw the 2023 Touring edition.
It's grey with lime stripes (GRIGIO ENTUSIASTA MATT). Has a front luggage rack, and a short windshield (similar to prior Touring editions). The badge on the glovebox reads T300. Didn't think to check to see if the dash is analog or digital. Also didn't check if there was a rear luggage rack. I feel like I would have noticed if there was, but it's also a strange omission for a Touring. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

The special thing about a Touring was the exclusive color, which was not available on any other model. Who wanted the color had to buy Touring, who wanted both accessories (rear rack + windshield) came with the Touring cheaper. |
