Modern Vespa

This is stone-cold killer and I love it

Love that GTV Navy!! Would have gotten one myself, if they were availible here.

thanks!!! looking for the navy top box for this is a pain!!! sigh..

I've always wondered if it's just Midnight Blue with a different name. Couldn't hurt to see if you can find a dealer with a Midnight Blue topcase (or other trim piece), and see if it matches close enough to the Navy.

i believe its navy midnight blue. ive tried several dealers already...nada...oh well..maybe the rack first...

I am so so soooooo Jealous!
I wanted a 250 but went with an s150 ,
If the GTV is still available later I just might have to upgrade.

That flat black looks terrific, reminds me of the finish on the Lambo Reventon if you've ever seen one.

Nicely done. Gives me some ideas for my Aprilia Mojito I just picked up

Kent

you mentioned gtv saddle? what happend to the original split seats?

Current configuration, now with fancy little mudflap.

hehe nice! by the way whats the brand of your carrier bag?

Thanks!

My bag is by SX Appeal, from Motorsport Scooters:

I'm pretty happy with mine so far. SX has a handful of other bags and accessories that match this.

Prima, from Scooterworks, also makes a very similar bag:

Prima also makes a half-size version, meant to be carried on smaller scooters, or on front racks.

Both bags are also availible in black, and can be found at some scooter shops. And they all look great on a GTV!

thanks!!

Finally made some pictures of my new GTV... My Beautiful Monster. I have had her for just about 8 weeks, 723 miles, and I have dropped her or nearly dropped her 4 or 5 times . All no speed stuff, just trying to push her around my yard!
Thanks to MV'ers for their helpful posts, with out them the Piaggio rear bars would have gone back to Motorsports in frustration... dumb mounting instructions for a different bracket! I also installed a stebel magnum, again really easy with MV help.
I love this machine! I thought my Buddy 150 was great, but now I know Greatness!
Thanks again MV!

nice!!!!!!

Thanks Zachster.
Your Navy Gilera isn't too Shabby either
Very Nice indeed!

Came across this one on ebay. Someone repainted an '07 Avio as some sort of Ducati tribute. Looks like they forgot the control pods on the handlebars though.

That is hot!!! I never thought I'd see a red GTV. That is very very cool. I don't think the unpainted control pods really detract from it. You don't really notice them in amongst all the metal up front.

wow!!!!i think the gt60 seat would be perfect with that set up...really nice...

Finally got an updated shot:

Hi folks, my brand new GT60. More pictures after modding. Best regards Andrew

Mark likes!

Mark likes that one too!

Very nice !!!

here we go then.GTV 300 ie Montenapoleone

That Via Montenapoleone looks really sweet!! The chrome really pops against the black. You're going to get tons more great photos from that one, I can tell.

I finally got the brown Vespa grips installed this evening:


They're not actually real leather, and it's very easy to tell if you have to cut them to fit right (you know how well those OEM parts fit!). They don't match exactly because of the '09 seats being so much darker leather than previous years (and the box the grips came in was marked '05, so they could have lightened a bit, too), but I think they still look pretty nice. Since the leather is fake, I may think about rubbing some darker dye on them at some point in the future. Still an improvement for those of us with the stock brown leather seat, if you ask me.

Better pics later...

Great idea for a thread.
Lovin all the GTV's.

Here's mine 2 months new.
Have added a screen, headlight visor and personal number plate.
Would love some rear chrome and front bumper next.

love the number plate here`s mine


ordered a headlight visor from Jettin last week,it arrived today and will fit it tommorrow.
Larger smoked screen to follow and some stainless floor runners.

And mine - taken on the beach at Brean, Somerset just a couple of hours ago. Sorry about the quality - taken on a mobile phone

Best,

Mark

smaller number plate,headlight peak and tyre lettering done.










and a new sign for the garage.

tinted screen & stainless floor runners to add.

Incredible - would you believe I have the same sign in MY garage?! Hahaha

She (?) is looking good. Even with that number plate of dubious legality heheheh

Your scoot is crying out - no, absolutely GAGGING - for a shiny shiny LV pipe...

Best,

Mark

a new pipe is on the cards Mark,
will wait out,scoots only 1 month old and am undecided on which pipe to go for.
floor runners ordered today,may be fitted for Cleethorpes rally on friday.
I do like the headlight peak,only took 1 week to arrive from USA. 8)

Very smart it is too!

Best,

Mark

ordered the stainless runners yesterday at 13.30 from ressurection scooters,
came today at 12.00 and fitted within 15 mins,make the floor look so much better.
as you can tell, i like a bit of bling.









just a few more bits to be added for this year.

Love the bling on the black! You've got almost as much as I do now. You can't finish without chrome badge wings, though.

I agree. Saw them on a scoot today and HAVE to get me some of those 8) 8) 8)

oh ooh oooh,knew there was somethimg else.just seen them on flea-bay for a couple of quid.

Please post the link!

Best,

Mark
