Raizzarhey12 Watanabe I got my first 2007 GTS 250 which is basically the same three years ago to be fair I was going to strip it for the piaggio engine and rolling stock for a conversion but it’s mint with only 5k and would of been criminal to dissemble There is absolutely nothing wrong with them apart from the fuel cap but if you carry a small funnel then no drama. Bit like the VW T5 there’s no need to change something that isn’t broke I’m a lambretta man but nothing touches these modern autos, great brakes, liquid cooled with fuel injection. Aesthetically I adore the Scomadi and I’ve been tempted to chop it in for one a few times but I know the GTS is far better
I've noticed your bikes all seem to have a metal plate with some sort of info on it riveted into the leg well area. Is that a legal requirement in the US? I'd be pretty upset to have to put that on my Vespa. What's on the plate?
Thanks for the great reviews I definitely will be in to purchase several scooters starting with that work of art 300ss I'm glad they put the HPE engine on them no more wasting money and jeopardizing reliability with aftermarket tune up parts 80mph from the factory is a perfect all around speed with a machine so beautiful and sexy OMG I'm glad I'm 52 now and can have a beautiful Wife that looks like a Robotic Wasp
One of those 'form over function' accessories, pretty useless in real terms. It does look cool though, so it's a plus in appearance category. It fits nicely curvature of the single-person sports seat as found on '6 giorni' but if you have a GTS 'super' or 'super sport' with standard two-person seat you're better off with the original grab rail as they complement each other much better, IMO.
It really depends. For me myself living in Vietnam where everybody rides motorbike. The extra curve make it easier for me to take my scooter out of tight spot like a parking lot packed with other scooters as I use it to lift the rear end of the scooter. Also,I sometimes pack my stuff on the curve. You might say the rear rack would be better for those purposes. Its true but after using it for awhile. I find it not really handy for the passengers to get on the scooter.
@@superdauxanh I can assure you the 'rest' of us do not lift the backs of our 150kg GTS to make way from tight parking spots :-). As for the practicality of load carrying I could think of maybe only one case when I roll up my beach towel when heading down to my swimming spot or a smaller picnic rug for a family outing, but that's pretty much it. What I heard about this 'rack' is that it came about after a group of Euro scooter enthusiast collaboratively suggested to Piaggio design team to give them an option for pimping the overal sports look on their GTSes. It ended up being a result of a collab engagement. It's still just for the looks and appearance, any way you look at it. Happy it actually provides an extra function to you and my Vespa brothers and sisters in the SE Asia. Cheers.
I have a nice little black leather round case would fit very nicely maybe 2 quart size
Und wieder eine tolle Anleitung. Grüße aus Deutschland.
Enjoy your how to video’s. I used to write service bulletins for Kawasaki before there was TH-cam.
That's awesome!
Is this rack compatible with the oem rear crash bars? sw customer service said no, but saw photos in the product review that seem to say yes.
Nice choice with the blue. Any chance of finding the right size washers in black as well? This clip is Designer approved. 🛵❤️🤖
Sure you can find them. Maybe McMaster Carr?
Paint them satin black. Easy as pie.
Mine didn’t come with black fasteners
I like vespa 300 nice this is my dream bike

Are you ship to Canada
Will this fit my 2021 Vespa 300 super hpe ?
Just a quick question, will it fit if we have original Vespa crash bar already mounted? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Yes it will fit.

Yep, that's found on US market Vespas. It has the scooter VIN number and manufacturing info, for legal purposes.
@@VespaMotorsport I thought so. Here in Oz, they put some smaller plates on the inside frame just near the seat storage area
Damnit man, I want one of those
I've just purchased a GTS 300 Super Sport in the same colour. Thanks for all your great tips.
freelancephotog congratulations, looks super legit!
Have fun!
freelancephotog cool stock colour choice

Robot this is another cool ass video my Brutha! When you guys gonna do a big ass meet up or something?
We've hosted a lot of cool events over the years. Hopefully we can do another one soon. Thanks for the support!
@4:39 did he just throw the plastic bag right into the engine? haha
It looks like someone sat too far back on the scooter and bent the rack.
Yes, there's bit of that too.
