There the exact same scoots mechanically, so Id save the 1200 Euros and get the GTS, unless you just want tp pay that much more for a fenderlight and split leather seat.

I'd get the GTS, and use the spare cash for decent riding attire.

I made up my mind!!At last I bought a new brand gtv. I know lot of you won´t agree with my decision...

Thank you all for the opinions.

Now I´ve been riding it for two days, I can tell you that:

- The fender light is not a problem. There is a little one above it ( i don´t know how to describe it in english, sorry), and I´m sure cars see me.

- About the seat. Yes mates, you were right!!it is too slippery! I´m ridding too close from the handlerbar. It´s a petty but I just have two options: get used to it or buy a gts seat.

- About the desing, now I´ve seen both I prefer the gtv. I´ve seen lots of black gts in Barcelona...

I´m posting the pictures as soon as posible!!

Saludos!

Both great bikes! you could give that seat a little time to break in and see if it doesn't conform (and become less slippery) with a little use. Leather gets better over time usually.

Congratulations! I knew you would make the right decision; go with your heart's desires and not the prudent demands of your pocketbook.

i have an aftermarket leather seat on my gts, and it gets better with time. in the beginning, i would dip my rear in a bucket of hot tar and the problem was solved. i could've also added some feathers to really set it off

Both are great looking scoots, but since I usually tend to beat to a slightly different drum then most, I'd go with the GTV.

Although I'm a fan of the smaller scoots, I vote GTS. I don't particularly care for the headlight on fender. Just image if you happen to mildly mosh your fender into a bumper or something.

GTS. Better colour than primer gray.
