Hello all

On the verge of ordering a GTS250 but can't decide on which colour.

It's either going to be the black or silver, neither of which I've seen close up. I was leaning towards silver, mainly as I wanted the more practical black seat.

However I'm not so sure now as the dealer said that :

1. Seats aren't too expensive, so if I wanted to I could replace the cream seat with a black one after a year or so. (He reckoned about £80, is that about right?)

2. He said the silver colour is more of a gun metal grey, which I’m not so sure about.

I’ve found a few good photos of black GTS’s, but are there any good photos of silver GTS’s out there?

I would say the silver is more of a platinum silver not gun metal grey unless the new colours are out??
I always wanted a black GTS the silver one came along very cheap and has done me proud Wink mind you I'm still not convinced having a top box fitted looks any good Confused

Black - just get the seat reupholstered.

I am biased but I think the scooter looks so much more classic in black.

Welcome, silver is more practical, however the black looks cooler Cool and I like the tan seat.

Red ones are best mines vintage red, but will upgrade to dragon red when it's 3 years old... Very Happy
