Modern Vespa

Hi everyone, this picture shows our first two Vespas....from 12 years ago....my gosh!

Then, the GTV came equipped with a genuine leather seat, which definitely looked and felt luxe. Brown leather accompanied the Ivory paint perfectly.

The GTS was painted a metallic bronze, also very distinctive.

You think Vespa should reprise these colors...and the leather seat..?

I had a GTV in that same color. Normally I really don't care for off-white shades on much of anything. But for some reason, that with the brown leather really struck me as absolutely gorgeous. I bet it would be a pretty nice combo on a 946.

I just recently purchased a 2014 GTV exactly like your photo with only 1,200 miles. Absolutely gorgeous bike!

The current GTS colors are so disappointing. I do like the orange Super Sport but I do not want a Super Sport as the graphics, carbon and black trim bits do not appeal to me. Super Tech is out as I want a traditional analog dash.

That leaves me with either a classic or sport model which comes in 2 shades of black, white, red and beige. The verde amabile is interesting but not for me.

I'm really hoping the classic and sport model lines get some new colors for 2025. A nice shade of green, maybe some blues or a nice classic silver.

The colors in the original post above are very nice.

I'm with you on colors. Seems like most newer autos on the road these days are characterized by lack of colors. The palette of Vespas is better, but hardly as good as it could be. I'm also not a fan of matte finishes which effectively reduces the available choices even more. I fondly remember the Celeste Blue of my '12 LX150 as an example of yesteryear.

Now leather seats are a different discussion. They require more than a little care. If you truly pine for one, any decent motorcycle or auto upholstery shop can recover your seat for you in any leather you choose.

Love the Celeste Blue and would take it in a heartbeat if available on a GTS. I just don't understand the current 50 shades of gray color options. I put in an offer on a new 2022 yellow GTS last week but the dealer declined my offer. I think I'd rather have an 2023+ model with the upgraded brakes and suspension.

At this point, I'm resigned to waiting for the fall to see the 2025 colors, which have to be better than the current offering.

Celeste blue was really nice. Don't see metallic pastels much on anything.

As a massive fan of purple, I'm perpetually disappointed they've only offered it once in any of the modern choices.

The Verde Ambizio is actually quite striking in person. But if you don't like matte finishes, then it's not an option.

The Bianco Supersport is also a nice looking combo. Lots of good contrast with the orange and black graphics and black trim.

Yes, you have to love Daring Plum. It is most definitely a COLOR.

I liked the orange best, but when I went to Scooterwest they didn't have one in stock so I rode home on a white Super Sport. It has orange trim, so at least I got some of the color I liked (ps my car is orange, fwiw, and thought it would be super cool to have two orange vehicles).

The green Super Sport is ver nice in person, but I am not a fan of matte paint.

I like the beige a lot, looks fabulous in person, but I didn't like the stitching on the seat, which goes front to back, not width wise like the Super Sport. For me, I would have liked it better with no stitching in the beige color.
