Hey, y'all..

Just picked up a new gold 2012 GT300i the other day. So far, so good! I'm a long time motorcyclist and occasional scooterist, having owned a Vespa P200e, Aprilia Scarebo 200 prior to the GT. This new scoot really fits the sweet spot of urban mobility/freeway power/sporty riding.

Looking forward to meeting folks here and getting involved in any scootering to be done in the Twin Cities, MN area.

Cheers! - Thomas

I`m like you. Have ridden motorcycles all my life.
My wife got me interested in motor scooters of late.
I have always loved motor scooters since back in the Cushman/Allstate days.
My wife bought an Aprilia Scarabeo 200 about two years ago. It has been a good scoot and fun to ride.
This year I bought myself a GT300 and have been very pleased with it.
Only problem is, in my area, it has rained almost constantly this year.

Hi Boo,

Yeah, it has been a short, wet, and cool summer here in MN. But the plants are loving it, I cannot remember seeing so much green!

Did your wife's Scarebo have carburetor issues? Mine ran like crap when I first got it and I recall there was a recall on them to fix the problem. Otherwise it was a very fun little scoot. I decided to go with the 300 now as I wanted a bit more power and fuel injection cannot be beat when you have to store a bike for half the year, every year.

No problems with the carb. Scoot has always ran good.

Baldazzer,

There a couple of fellow Twin Citians on the boards here. I think we are up to 5 now between the DT and the GTI
