to be honest i have not herd a good thing about metropolis as they are expensive and not too good on a service, but if you are stuck and its the only shop with one you have no choice
might be worth getting a spare to keep under the seat

Going off subject a little, how much should I have paid for a standard Piaggio drive belt? Just had mine replaced at Hayballs our local dealers and I notice on the invoice they've charged me £72!!!
 I thought they were around £40? I intend to question it tomorrow. |

seconded. They are ok to buy from...if you cant get it anywhere else but they have a terrible reputation for servicing both scooters and bikes, the ducati forums people also avoid them like the plague.
They talked utter bullshit to me about a minor problem I had and said I needed to leave my bike with them for a day or so (I bought the bike from there) but I took it to a well regarded independent dealer and they fixed it for free within 5 minutes.

I always use a Polini belt on my runner and they seem pretty good. But i dont do a lot of mileage anymore ie: commute.
Wonder if Polini do one for the GTS?
