Hello!

I own a 2022 Vespa GTS 300. Recently, I saw a guy who had a beautiful forest green vespa and started chatting with him. He said his is a "touring" model.....I was curious what the differences are?

I maybe wrong but touring spec on the smaller Vespas is racks front and rear, possibly also a flyscreen.

Happy to be proven wrong though

As above and forest green blends in with the forest for touring.

It's a trim and accessories package. Same engine, frame, etc...

Just fit some racks and you are 50% there, if you ever get a few scratches then repaint it green.

Have the one you have vinyl wrapped to the exact color you want.

I've found that it's not really a matter of "need". When I came across the reasonably priced, very low mileage '20 British Racing Green GTS on FB marketplace a little while ago, I decided that I should bring it home, never mind that there were already some scooters in the garage. It happens to be the Touring model, which is the same basic scooter as a standard issue GTS, with specific trim and accessories (top case, racks, wind screen, beautiful green color).

Cheers,

Bob

I love my color.......I am not complaining about it. I just want a green one too. LOL --- Out of curiosity any idea how much it would cost to do what you suggest?

I really don't know what it would cost, but most wrap shops will give you a quick, free estimate.

I love that dark green and it is nicely complemented by the dark brown upholstery. An excellent addition to the fleet!

I took my Vespa GTS300 Super and had the dealer install, windscreen, front and back chrome racks. Love it. Then I put on a back and white checkered seat cover from "Cheeky Seats". All below prices include State of Minnesota 6.5% sales tax and installation.

1/2 Vespa Windscreen $70.04
Front Vespa Chrome Rack $366.38
Rear Vespa Chrome Rack $215.00
Floor Matt $52.75
Cheeky Seat Cover $120.00

Probably more now due to inflation.

Wow!!! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I really dig all of the additions. I like the chrome rack's a lot. Will you use them? I want them, but I am not sure I will use them.

Just lots of luggage rack space for all the baggage that comes with her rack.

The green Touring came with a windshield and a rear rack. The top box and front rack were not included.

Also, those brown seats are awful. I had two; each started to disintegrate in about six months.

That paint job was only available on the Touring in 2020 (paired with chrome accessories). It was paired with black accessories and yellow pinstripes on a subsequent Racing 60s trim.
