Are we getting that touring red color and the yellow and green? We won't all be getting the yellow and green since those are limited edition colors. When I was looking for a green one I was told that there are only about 35 of the limited edition colors coming into the US. That comes from one of the dealers who showed the green on their website who when I called said, sure they'd order one for me. Only to call me back an hour later saying that there wasn't a single one available in the south central region (Texas to Wyoming, Missisippi river to Colorado). They weren't able to get any of the limited edition colors. All in all I talked to by phone or through their website over a dozen dealerships. Most of which tried to sell me something other than the one I wanted because that's what they had or could get. I tracked down 2 dealers that were getting the limited edition colors. One never got back to me with a price and the other one I bought the green before it even arrived at the dealership. When I bought it that dealer said 5 of the 8 limited edition colors they had on order were already sold. The other dealer who didn't give me a price quote with the accessories I wanted had also presold some of their limited edition order. That was a couple weeks ago so it wouldn't surprise me if both dealers were sold out of the preordered limited eiditons. So unless you know a dealer who preordered and hasn't yet sold them all those color at not really available. Black, white, dark gray, dragon red, a couple of shades of blue and any 70th Anniversary Editions that may still be available are what you can buy new right now. FWIW, mine has arrived but is awaiting installation of parts and will be shipped to me. Photos when I get it. |

Pretty soon you'll be able to outfit your own Rally One can never have to many scooters This is the replacement for the GTS I sold earlier this year. A friend who had told me for years he wanted to buy it caught me in a moment of weakness so my custom blue GTS has had a new home since April. I may sell the Derbi to a friend IF she follows through with getting her motorcycle license. I refuse to sell it to her until get takes the MSF course. |

| Hooked 2012 Vespa GTS300ie Joined: 06 May 2016 | Awesome that you found one! Saw a green one on Rockridge Two Wheels' Craigslist ad but it's not listed in inventory so likely sold. Probably for the best I don't find one nearby because with only 13k on mine, I can't justify a new GTS purchase at all. I really with I could see one in person though, not just pics. |

Did you mention in a previous post about getting some of the shiny made black? That would make it even rarer there. It is a beautiful colour. |

To start with it will have black leg shield trim, brake levers and passenger foot rests. Adding front rack and rigid tail rack for top case also in black, Faco twin windshield, black exhaust cover, heavy bar end weights and mirrors. Eventually I want to replace the headlight rim and other chrome but there is this thing called budget so I'm not quite sure how much will be done though I do have the Classic Rack's Vespa cup holder on order. After all I may be riding it back to Houston so would need some place to store a drink. |

Are you having the transmission cover blacked out as well? Naturally you'll post pics, yes? Glad you got the green one you wanted and are having it done up how you like. 8) |

Yeah, for the first time I may actually name a vehicle more than just "the GTS", "Beo" (Scarabeo 500), Honda, Buddy, ET, Sports City. She may actually end up being called Hope because Grasshopper is too long. |

| Veni, Vidi, Posti GTS 300ABS, Buddy 125, Buddy Kick 125 Joined: 29 Dec 2007 | Well, I just answered my own question. I was in the local Vespa dealer this morning. They had two 2018 GTS that has just come in. They do not have the ESS suspension. If it is correct that Vespa has gone back to the pre-ESS front suspension, I would say that is a step down and a reason to seek out a GTS with ESS. On the other hand, if this is a "type 3" front suspension, I guess the jury would still be out on whether it is a plus or minus. |

My European '17 has the safety shut off side stand with no snap back action. I assume if both of these things are being delivered in Europe in '17, that the North American '18's will have them. Oh, and no more seat cover, and no basic tool kit (or even the box to hold it into the slot). But the headset looks so much more clean. |

Not necessarily as a side stand was never standard equipment on a GTS in the US. |

If the pre-2015 front suspension is "type 1" and the ESS is "type 2" - I'm supposing you would call another redesign of the suspension "type 3". So far it is not clear whether the front suspension on the 2018 GTS is a redesign or not, just clear that it is not ESS. |
