Just wondering here if the small top box on a LX would fit the 300?? I hate to carry my helmet around so I'm gonna need a top box. The one for the GTS is just a tad too bulky..
The fittings on the LX look like they'd fit the 300 as well.. Any views?

Go for a Givi. You'll need to buy the mounting plate though (or an original 250 rack). This is an E340

The topbox for the super is a lot smaller than the normal GTS one... its a similar size to the LX model...

If i remember right the GTS box is 42l and the super version is 32l...

It also has the back rest pad with a matching white pin stripe! Laughing

Not cheap though as comes with the rack Shocked

Strange the pic of the Vespa 300 box I have looks just like a 250 box.

Great thing with the Givi boxes is that you can put the key in, press a button and it's off.

Well spotted Mav Wink

I knew cheeky would be right, your observation skills are clearly better than mine.

In the Deroute book, which lists the accessories.... it states GTS being 42 and Super being 32l... so i thought i was right, but ive ordered one anyway, so ill do some measurements when it arrives Wink

I kinda liked it when it first came out, but it's done the opposite to grow on me. Not sure of the point really and extra £500 quid for what the headlight in a less safe place than on a GTS? the one thing I do like is the dash with a PX(ish) dash and digi display below, shame they didn't use that on the 300, that's the one thing I know I'll miss on my 250 the digi dash Sad

Must admit I like the dash on a 250 better than the 300, guess Piaggio did it to save £££
