Riding the BEST NEW Scooter of 2022? Royal Alloy GP300s test ride and review 4K

[@Dr.ModNut]

Brilliant works mate! I’ve had my GT300 now for four months and she’s brilliant. I’ve ridden two stroke since ‘82. Now that I’m a bit older, this bike is everything I need.

[@roywalls5595]

Thank you for awesome video and for info on GP300s!

[@gerardgerard5681]

I own one. Parts are so easy to acquire. Outstanding scoot. It rides like a dream on side roads and highways. Thanks for the video.

[@knightsljx]

Not from the USA but I almost got a Vespa Sprint until the sales guy recommended this GP300S for just a couple hundred bucks more. ~50% more power and twice the front suspension. It's also liquid cooled. The GTS 300 costs $2K+ more than the GP300. Sales even threw in a 45L top case to make up for the lack of under seat storage. Vespas have become way too expensive

Hi Eryn! Thanks for this video and thanks for the patience and time you gave me early last week. I called for your advice because I was crossed with buying a used 2017 Hooligan (4,000 mi) or a 2008 Yamaha Vino 125 (barely used, 400 mi), both in pretty excellent condition…..well, I bought the Hooligan!😃 And I absolutely LOVE it!! First time rider waiting to take the “M” basic course, but I’ve gone around the neighborhood a few times 🤫 and I’m chomping at the bit to ride it more!!! Nevertheless, you never tried to sell me on it even though you partner with them. You gave equal advice so I was still 😵‍💫, but it forced me to make the best decision for ME! And for that, I can’t Thank You enough! It takes a genuinely honest person and lover of scooters to do that😍.

[@samking4179]

great review. Best part here ... 30:24!

[@glenmo1]

Just purchased a Yamaha vino 125 from my customer for $1,000 ....4000 original miles garaged + maintained .. I can do 55 on level ground via GPS.. I love the vino 125 it feels like you're actually riding a motorcycle.. the suspension absorbs a lot of bumps.... Smooth ride.. in the acceleration is not bad either... I'm keeping my buddy 50 though cuz I ride that like a sport bike I like to lean it over real far around the bends

[@vanzarockin]

I've seen a few of these around San Francisco and with a glance, assumed they were Series 3 Lambrettas. They do look pretty similar and fooled me, someone who owned a Lambretta LD, SX, Li, and TV Series 1, 2 and 3 models. If the metal components of these are solid, and not malleable like the old Indian SILs, I just might buy one.

[@mitchellelmer3237]

Hey Eryan, how about a side by side of the two buddys. One with the headlight upgraded and one stock on a night ride. Great content! Thanks!

[@davidmulhall.8711]

Great guys 🎉 fabulous 👌

11:03 Never stop behind a flat bed tow truck like that! Unless you want a two-piece casket.

[@WhatsAProd]

My 2018 Smax has about half the CCs and nearly hits the same speeds, seems like a missed opportunity here because i would LOVE a small chassis with big power but this seems to be lacking in the power department for its motor size

[@curtisgamble3290]

I'd like to see u take the genuine hooligan 170 on GPS verified top speed run ive ridden the hooligan on the highway about 15 miles I was shocked how fast it was I live in south Carolina where the highways are mostly 60 to 55 mph so i think fully stock the hooligan could do 67 top speed also question do u think the 2022 hooligans preform a lot better then the let's say 2016 models and last but not least love the vids man keep them coming

[@josephkent3238]

Thanks for your help

[@tevinbeckford7932]

Do yall ship or would i have to come pick it up??

[@thomasbeirne8213]

Hiya Eryan, enjoy your vids. Just wanna comment on the gloves, gear thing. Making YT vids, you're now an influencer. Peeps might look at you, and figure that's how it's done. I'm 61. Started with a Honda 50, at, like 15. Eventually became a sport-bike rider, a soldier (so I've ridden all around this country and others), and more importantly, I've slid down the road on a Shoei, due to no fault of my own, more than once. When you made the glove comment, I remembered the day outside of Fort Riley in Kansas, when I took off my gloves cuz it was too hot, and hit road colored gravel in a turn and had hands that looked like I had been repeatedly punching a brick wall. Hurt like a bitch for weeks. Looked badass tho, people thought I'd been in a serious bar fight 😆. Guy I knew in Easton PA, a GS750E rider, when I mentioned I've had accidents, and he said he hadn't, his reply "Maybe I'm too good" with a smirk. Next time I saw him, he had an arm cast. A deer doing deer stuff, made him a bit more humble. And my usual mantra, as I'm putting the helmet on, "Expect Stupidity". Especially now, with all the cellphones distracting the steering wheel holders. Just a thought. Everyone has a choice, but everyone should hear both sides.

[@petermiles6690]

How’s it compare to a Vespa gts300? Which ones faster?

[@rickjeren147]

What helmet are you using ? It seems very quiet....

[@splodge57]

Like the looks but if I want old style I prefer to have a 2 stroke, geared Vespa PX 150. A modern 4 stroke auto and its the Honda Forza 350, a fantastic, reliable and practical scooter.

[@randykaminski6214]

I’m interested in the gp300, but to be worth $7,300, they need to be a lot more common, and demonstrate a high resale value... I thought it was going to cost around 5k otd.. I guess I’m still learning..

[@chaznasty814]

I had a gt150 and sold it. Biggest mistake ever. Now I have 2 Stella’s (2 stroke) please talk about them. Mines a death trap and handles like a shopping cart 🛒

[@bulletwings9305]

why you said biggest mistake . Is it not good at all?

[@keithreh9338]

how does Genuine Scooter Company feel about 'test rides' on new unsold scooters? do they adjust the warranty to not include the 'test ride' mileage? do you give a discounted price since you essentially are selling a 'demo' model? thanks...

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

As dealers we buy all of our inventory from Genuine Genuine’s unlimited mile 2 year warranty is in effect in full. To compensate for the “test” mileage we added an additional 1 year of warranty to these out of our pocket.

[@LambrettaJet200]

Doesn't the Gp 300s have an OBD2 interface connection on the right-hand side near the battery?

[@dionmoore879]

Cool scooters, but for the dough, 1 year old Vespa GT300 seems like a better deal. Too early right to gauge what resale $$ might be. I do like your videos though. Big guys on little machines.. I can relate.

[@nzrobinz]

Think I will stick with my vintage Lambretta and T Max 500

[@datznasty1475]

What do you thinking quadrophenia they had so many mirrors! 😂

[@alexmm89]

would love to see a GP300 with a sidecar 😉😉

[@wizard44]

Price? Top speed? MPG?

[@wizard44]

$7300, 80-83mph, ??

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

They claim 65 mpg

[@Foam-O-Matic]

Web site says $5699...is there $1600 in additional fees? Not slamming you, just curious as I live in your area and thinking of buying a scooter soon.

[@TomWagemaker]

@@Foam-O-Matic, they call it ‘dealer prep’ 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@artstar5994]

You lost me @ $7300. But great video and great ride!

[@caffeineman72]

have you tested the accuracy of the speedometer? Iknow my Buddy 170i is very optimistic on the top end usually will indicate 70 but really going 63-64

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

The speedometer is definitely optimistic We haven’t gps verified it though

[@davidgray8262]

I watched this video. The Royal Alloy GP300s is made to look like a Lambretta from any years ago. Also, you can buy a seat that is thinner so that your feet can touch the ground. Do your research before you do your videos.

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

Clearly stated that it’s modeled after the lambretta. Also the lowered seats whopping 1-1.5” drop is not enough to account for the width of the panels

[@m12ttd]

I tried a 2021 Royal Alloy TG300 for £5000, took it back 30 days later! absolute pile of Cr@p! A month later I paid £5250 for a Vespa GTS 300 and it is fantastic! Phew thank God I took the TG back!

[@chrislawton5486]

Hi.. was it that bad? what was wrong with it? I owned a Royal Alloy GP200 (one of the early models) and it was awful!

[@m12ttd]

@@chrislawton5486 I had a bit of rust, that would be sorted under warranty, I had the side panel rubbers falling off, the rear indicator wires kept coming apart (Wires Too Short) seat was so painful and the final straw was the speed packed up on 440 miles? As this was during the that ship being stuck in the Suez canal with all the spare parts, I took it back! Glad I did as the build quality was awful!

[@chrislawton5486]

@@m12ttd The fan on mine seemed to be always running.. it sounded dreadful!

[@m12ttd]

@@chrislawton5486 oh abd I forgot the squeaky suspension! I took the front bushes out myself, greased them up and it was good for 100 miles, but the squeak came back worse than before! All the above in just 440 miles! Nasty Scooters!!!

Night time ride video. 🤘😄

[@Al-of3zp]

Geeze calm down mate

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

We haven’t paid our taxes yet. We are to turnt up

[@clydeosterhout1221]

Looks like a nice bike, but about $2500 too much, IMHO.

[@marktrotta5544]

About top speed, or any speed. After installing a "moto GPS" on my new Hooligan 170i, a disparity of from 3mph, at low end, to 8mph, at top end, was discovered ( speedometer reading higher than actual speed, if GPS can be trusted). I've since heard that this is typical of motorcycle/scooter speedos to encourage safer speeds or discourage "hooliganism" (pun intended). Top speed videos therefore must be taken with a grain of road salt (not again) ( Incidentally, autos seem to have the same disparity to a lesser degree )

[@roverroko306]

Better looking scooter then a Vespa com on man what the hell are you smoking man, under seat storage is very important on a scooter otherwise you can ride a real motorcycle. Which is what I do ride a BMW R9T and at that time I do use backpack. But for running errands I can use a little Vespa Sprint 150s. Which is so much more beautiful than this peace of S. plus you are talking a bunch of nonsense the seating position is idiotic on this crap. Much nicer on a Vespa man. Just speak the truth .

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

There’s no world where a Modern Vespa is better looking or even as good looking at this. Your Vespa s150 is a very good looking scooter and one of the better Vespas but the modern circle ones…no thanks

[@roverroko306]

@@SiegfriedsMotorwerx Man you don’t know what you are talking about, you also mentioned something about working on modern Vespa isn’t as simple as this RA. Modern Vespa is very simple and accessible to work on, could not be more simple.

[@SiegfriedsMotorwerx]

I’ll be sure to pass along to my service department and all my techs that we have been wrong all this time! Thank goodness the great roverroko has spoken! The modern Vespa is now easier to work on then a scooter with removable side panels!! Mark your calendars everyone!!! The great roverroko has also declared that their taste (or lack there of) is now the official rule of thumb for what does or does not look good on the roads!! All hail roverroko!

[@unclehowdydiscodooly7126]

Yes ..... do a night ride on ANY genuine scooter!!! I'd like to especially see the kick and the hooligan at night. I'm weird about dashboard lights, I love night riding, because I can travel to other cities without worrying too much about traffic. 🛵☁️
