Modern Vespa

After over 2 years of a 50cc scooter and about 19,000 miles on motorcycles, I've decided I'm a scooter guy. I bought this 300 Super yesterday. So I'll be hanging out here a lot more now. Glad to be aboard.

Congrats! You'll love it. Welcome to MV.

i love my super!!! mine is only a 250 super though....

Very nice. That's going to be my next scoot.

Congratulations!

A warm welcome from the cloudy* islands of New Zealand

* it's usually sunny, I swear!

I used to ride a vino125 and wanted something faster. I wanted a 300 super but an S 150 was in the budget. After the initial ride home I was glad I didn't get anything bigger. Before buying Esther (my S) I was worried that I would just want something bigger after a little while. After 2 months I'm still satisfied! Kudos for making a 250cc jump!

I wanted an orange S 150 for a long time, mostly for the color. But there is a local scooter rally (put on by Burgman riders) that has a 200cc minimum for their main ride. Also, I'm looking for this to replace my 650cc motorcycle, so I wanted the power. There was a noticable difference off the line with the 300. And I like the look of the analog guages.

That's interesting! I wouldn't have thought a 150cc would perform noticeably better than a 125cc. That said, it appears that the Vino 125cc engine is tuned for better fuel economy (depending on which review you read, they differ greatly...) while the S is tuned for better performance, so that might be one of the reasons for the noticeable better performance.

And yes... an orange S150 looks great!

the orange S150 is tha BOMB!!!! I love those. I wish they would fit my big ass. or i would like to have my 250 super painted that color.

Congratulations! I've bought one September 1st (after LX 125)

Welcome to the "white" side.

Congratulations on the new scoots.

I bought my 300 Super this weekend. My wife and I started riding this Spring. We both bought Buddy International 150s. She has the Pamplona and I had the Italia. But 150cc simply wasn't enough. I sold our third car, a BMW Z3 to buy the Super. It is so much fun to ride. Can't say I miss the Z3 at all.

Congratulation!
got mine 2 weeks ago.

AND it's White!

Saw this sign and couldn't resist turning around and taking a picture.

I had a LX50 for nearly three years and finnaly plucked up the courage to take my full bike test in May.
Now got a GTS300 Super. They're very quick of the mark.
Binned it in the first month(D'OH!)(broken rib,hand and fracured my hand twice) and repaired within just the SEVEN weeks but back on it and lovin' it.
Nice bikes guys.

That is a cool shot.

Shortbloke - which recovery took longest: yours or the scoot's?

Well TheJ,
the bike took SEVEN sodding weeks to return but my ribs still hurting when I sneeze and I can't grasp things too well with my hand and it's been over two and a half months now... bless me eh!!!!
Still lovin scootering although it has made me a little more weary of conditions and other road users.

Got to get back on that horse eh!

From what I understand the 250 super was such a limited production that they may/will become collectable in future esp. some 250's that were badged as 300's that weren't fixed at the dealerships.
Oh! BTW griedel congrats on your new 300 super got's me drooling.

Here is my GTS 300 - it deserves a better picture. More to come, I'm sure.

hmmm ... here's my sexy beast!

oooh i want a 300 badged 250!

That white is SO pretty.

Where did you get that black headlight peak from if you don't mind me asking?
