I bought a Vespa GTS 300 Super a few weeks ago, in white also. I am impressed about it so far! I rode motorcycle's before and got rid of mine to make room for my Vespa. Reason's why I bought a Vespa, due to a population boom where I live, the traffic is much heavier, so using a clutch is more of a nuisance than an automatic. Take's up less space in my small garage, better mph, lower maintenance cost. My jeep is getting up there in the year's, and so is the cost to maintain it, and I am not ready to buy a car. I don't miss the whole open the choke song and dance either, lol. I start it up, let it warm up a bit and go. Yes, it is slow off the line, but it does increase speed rather quickly and so smooth that I keep an eye on the speedometer to make sure that I am not exceeding the posted speed limit. Oh, I live in Florida in the U.S.A., so nice weather almost all year round here. I'm looking forward to your video's and will review the other's. I saw what you didn't like, and didn't subscribe then because as a new buyer, I did not want to see negativity at that moment, lol. All good now, I am subbed.

Looks like you need to get aquainted with Waxoyl Lurgs. Brushed on with a paint brush every few months will stop corrosion on the engine cases, nuts and bolts, fork & damper tubes, floor pan etc. in fact anywhere the salty road spray can reach. Great video by the way. I've got a Burgman 400 but been thinking of a Vespa, they're just so stylish! Ride safe.

Yes indeed, I had it second hand but if I had a new one I would have treated it straight away. BUT I've also got a VW T5 and I don't expect to have to treat that underneath!

@@LurgsHowToGuides I just don't understand. I live on the East Coast in Brevard County, Florida. My house is within walking distance of the river to the barrier islands next to the ocean.

@thomassonntag82375 жыл бұрын
I have several Vespas the oldest one (ET2) just became 18 ,weather in Germany is similar, but I can't complain about rust at all. Even the original exaust ist in perfect condition and underneath no rust either. I must admit, I usually avoid rain, I ride it only from March til October and I wash it regularly including wax . Lurgs Vespa seems to be exposed to salted roads during the winter months. The Vespa should resist these conditions but it's always a good idea to remove the salt with a lot of water and use a wax product regularly. My GTS300 is just 2 years old and still in factory condition after 4000 miles.
