Hello, I'm a really picky scooterist that doesn't have a scooter shop close enough to check out colors. I really like the Orand 5.0 Corazzo color on the site. How close is the color. I have searched the site and found 2 different colorings. I have a cream colored scoot, I don't want bright traffic cone orange. I am hoping that it is the burnt orange look in the site. Also my second choice is the blue with cream stripe. Is this a light blue or a vibrant light blue, Again I keep finding different shades.

I'm really picky please show me your pictures!

Here is me on a recent ride with my blue/black 5.0. The stripes are reflective, not cream. My scooter is Midnight Blue to give you a reference.
Hope it helps

Here is a pict of me with my midnight blue Gt and Blue 5.0. The colors vary a bit from guys to girls also. Here is one also of my husband in red and white 5.0 with his red GTS

Thank you for posting your pictures. I looked at the other thread and saw a girl with an orange one that looked redish orange and a guy with a color I wouldn't mind. Really hoping for the burnt orange look, not the bright redish orange. Or the light blue, But some times the stripe looks gray.

Are you a gal or a guy? I have the women's mar/whi (mariner blue/white) 5.0. The previous pic of Pat's jacket is pretty accurate. The outside stripes are reflective and grey/silvery. The middle stripe is white. The women's light blue 5.0 jacket (pst/sto) is pastel blue with a pale yellow stripe. The yellow stripe is definitely more yellow than a Sienna GTV. The outside stripes are the silvery/grey reflective material. I have seen it in person.

I have the brown/orange 5.0.

Also get the gloves, they are very comfy when it gets cold outside.

The pictures looks bad but I had to re size it.

The orange is a very deep but bright 'safety' orange. Now I LOVE orange (my vespa is orange and I own more orange clothes and things than anyone I know) but even the orange was a little too much for me. It works better as a secondary color than a primary color. Just my humble opinion.

I'm a girl. I wa hoping the orange would work out, I looks like I might not buy one after all. I don't want to ride aroud looking silly, the light blue might be ok, Or I'll just look for something different that I like instead of setteling.

I read an article about visibility. Supposedly blue, particularly light blue, is very visible. I don't know exactly what shade the study used. That might be a plus. It would look nice with your scoot. The stripe is a different enough shade to look fine with your scooter, in my opinion. The Corazzo jackets are very high quality and really nice fitting for woman. If you don't like it, you can probably easily return it. I would really consider getting one.

You will never look silly on a GTV no matter what you are wearing, that is a beautiful scoot. 8)

As far as looking silly check my avatar.

Good luck with your jacket selection, hope you find what you are looking for!
