GTS OWNERS CLUB

Had my 300 for 2 weeks now(black one, although white was very tempting)Previously had lammy gp, T5, 2 xP2s,LI 150 with mugello kit on. Did the rallies, do"s, rideouts etc. Turned 40 and decided it was time to grow up, sold all scoots, spares etc and thought that was it. Not even 12 months had passed when the bug bit again, but was undecided what form of 2 wheeled transport to get.Seriously thought about KTM crosser type thingy, but was talked out of it, jap sports bikes briefly crossed my mind,but soon left again. I was driving past smalley cross scooters and decided to have a nose round when i saw the gts 300, WOW!!!! Id put a deposit on one within 5 minutes of sitting on it!! The feeling you get is undescribable compared to a geared scooter, i ve only done 160 odd kilometers on it so far(shit weather),but its so smooth and quiet, and im told it ll get quicker as it beds in.does anyone know if there is an aftermarket pipe for it yet? I know scorpion are developing one at the moment, but as far as i know thats it. How many ks before i can thrash it?

Hiya Scooteman.....Must have got it the same time as me! Done similar mileage and went for white 300 from MSC.

The thing is an animal and will put a scorpion on when it`s run in. Great to ride though and soon adapted to not having the gears.

Cheers

Been in touch with pm, and a mate at scorpion says they ve had a 300 in all last week to measure up etc, so hopefully they ll have a pipe ready soon.
