...on reflection I did not exactly stick to the brief. Compact, comfortable and 200 - 300cc would be a Vespa GTS250 or 300. I would ...

The issue for you will be around your build. At 5'10" myself I feel that I max out on many scooters. Mostly this is related to the saddle, with scallop design. The GTS range of scooters provide, for me, a comfortable seat over increased distance. I was interested in the GTS 150 IGET (11kw), but did not like their colours. You might be ...

I am nudging the first service at 1k so time for a short post. Cold weather and obligations have kept the mileage down, but the scooter continues to impress.  Referencing the original test crew reviews of the 125, following its release, I see that it was Pete Gailey who posted the most approval stars for this ride, with 9.5 (shooting stars). ...

I know why you keep the Dio as it really is a great scooter. I requested a new Dio plug at the 4k service, but they talked me out of it. The book suggests 8k change, but I would rather have had the new plug. Water under the bridge now. I don't like cold weather riding any more. I enjoy it but my body does not. It wasn't a problem 40 years ...

It will be a while before I can come back to you with cruising speed capability. The manual advises against sustained high speed running until 1600 ks are on the odometer. Extensive prior reading informs me that top speed is indicated @110kph, but true top speed is really105kph. Because of the engine cooling efficiencies, I have further read, ...

I have owned a considerable range of machines going back more than 50 years. These include large heavy motorcycles and more recently smaller scooters. I have just come from a low base (in terms of physics only) with the Honda Dio @102kg. So I can say that there feels no real discernable difference with the dual wheel set-up (on the Tricity). I was ...

I haven't built sufficiently on the mileage to make any meaningful further comment - but some small points: The seat height is good at 780. You are both on and in the scooter. This perception is helped by the taller screen, although called a high screen, sits marginally taller than the mirrors. It transformed the look of the scooter The ...

... I don't buy much stuff through the net, so was astounded at how quickly my orders arrived. And typical of the Japanese the product(s) were well wrapped and boxed to defend against potential damage

Thanks for the response. Certainly on the faster sections of roads it will be operating near it's limits, but for general about town duties, for me, it will be adequate. I want to keep the scooter weight down, but it is difficult to establish weight statistics for the GTS 150 IGET. I have seen the latest GTS 300 posted at 158kg, but it does ...

... thank you for this reference
