Nobody wants a red 300. Benny and the kid who won his at Amerivespa are probably the only 2 people in North America who actually own a Red GTS300.

I think my p200 is the vintage red you are talking about right? If i were to ever repaint my GTS i think i'd go with a metallic "vintage red" like my Shoei Helmet. I think they call it wine red. I'd like to get the code for that!

While their shades of red number somewhere close to 100 over the years, Ferrari uses a particular dark metallic red called Rosso Rubino that would be just what you're looking for. There's also a Lamborghini color called Rosso Vik that is equally stunning...

...if you repaint the P200 and all, of course...

I agree, the Vintage Red is a beautiful color.

Used to have a vintage red 250 (it's in my signature), upgraded to a 300 in Jan, great colour, I'd of had a VR 300 if they did them

I've always loved the Vintage Red colour. There are so few of those GTS 250 in Canada, something like five I believe, one of which is now green.

I am not a fan of the normal red (Dragon), but the vintage red is sweet (Mike, I was wondering when you were going to show yourself again, your bike always looks good in that colour)

Whikle I love my VR GTS, I have plans (when I feel rich enough) to get a GTS300 horn cover and paint it to match. Never liked that stupid running light in the front of my GTS250.

Understated elegance! In comparison, the "other red" has a kind of inappropriate "Look at me!" attention seeking quality to it, that reminds me of the occasional red Mercedes that one sees.

I agree with Benny 'Them's fighting words' and we will have to meet you at the O.K. Corral.
Everyone knows that Dragon Red is the fastest, hottest colour for a Vespa especially a GTS Super 300. With that being said if it came in Vintage Red I would have brought it.
