GTV without a doubt, in the dark grey colour.
stylish and practical ...god knows how easy it is to get spares for the unique bits though |

GTV was my first choice but i'm hearing bad things about the brightness of the headlight.
I like the green but reckon the grey is the better choice..... |

Hello Pepy, What bad things do you heard about the headlight?

I've been told the GTV headlight isn't a halogen light and is very poor at night.
The GTS is also about £500 cheaper!! |

I just love the GTV looks,it`s retro and stands out from the crowd.
I like less of the plastic around the handlebars and the seat just looks soo cool! Not too sure how effective that little screen is tho` ?
Re; the headlight,reckon a cover needs fitting to protect it from stones etc and if it`s not bright enough then one of those fancy xenon lamps should do the trick.
Spoke to a dealer last week and he reckons new colours will be out in the spring? That`s just as well `cos I have been made redundant so my purchase will be put off until at least ....
Hopefully new bits and bobs should be available by then. _________________ The Stig rides an Auto so is always in TOP GEAR! |

It`s the same light as the GTS halogen H4.
i use a 100/80 watt bulb.
The light is good as my Guzzi motorbike. _________________ 2007 Vespa 250 GTV

The screen is very good to protect the driver from bugs and flys.
The front end is more stable whith the screen too. _________________ 2007 Vespa 250 GTV

I love the look of the GTV, but went for the GTS for a few reasons.
I'm quite tall, and the GTV seat puts me too close to the bars. I sit back 'on the hump' on the GTS.
Naked bars/instruments look good but are more of a pain to clean (I'm a fussy bastard and like to keep my scoot immaculate).
Colour choice. I like the choice in colours of the GTS, and have always had a preference for non-metallic paint (scoots and cars) as it is easier to match after a prang, more resistant to bird crap, less prone to stone chips etc.
But the GTV is an awesome scoot. Love the pics of Bjorn's beast |
