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. Sad

The GTS is also about £500 cheaper!! Wink

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 .... Sad
Hopefully new bits and bobs should be available by then. Cool

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.

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

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 Wink
