Hello gts200-sians. Hi, im looking for a maxi scoote and chance upon by this baby gts 200. i admit i didnt read up all 76 pages of this forum but i just did the important info - maintenance and performance.

 

maintenance: someone mention that the parts are much more expensive than piaggio and someone else says the opposite. can anyone enlighten me on that?

 

performance: well, read that with comparison to x8,x9evo that gts200 lose out bcoz of the engine capacity. but question is, is it sluggish especially riding w pillion. this is important as myself is rather big sized haha coupled with the usual pillion riding.

 

price: roughly whats the market rate now for a 2nd/3rd/4th...for gts200?

 

thanks all

 

*ps anyone here wanna letgo?

Just to update you guys about this bike.

I collected my GTS200 last 18 July. Till now rode more then 13,000km within 6 months. I am on my second tyre now. Brake-pads going to change soon.

 

1 broken nut that connecting the rear wheel to body. Maybe due to vibrations.

1 puncture tyre. Due to Long hours riding & over a small wooden stick. Heat related problem I think.

1 broken front Disc. Due to forgot to unlock disc bake lock.

1 broken Left mirror. It's totally my fault. Sharp 5 meter radius cornering at 85km/hr is no no. I have in place fog-light in that mirror position. It's Perfect!!

 

Fuel guage is not accurate. For me, every 270km I pump RM$20 (9.3 litres) shell. You can work out the average comsumption.

 

Speedo is slightly off, consider within normal acceptance value. Actual bike speed is slower then Speedo shows. I use an GPS to guage.

 

I stay at 6200RPM usually.

 

So for long traveling be careful of VIBRATIONs & HEAT that works into the bike. REMEMBER that Gear Oil. Change it.

 

I notice difference in start-up idling speed. Usually it's between 1900~2000RPM. Some morning its above 2000RPM. Maybe due to temperature.

 

I did push this bike A LOT. Traveling from Singapore to Penang at 100~110km/hr for 10 full hours. Only 5 stops for makan, toilet, drinks & petrol. Covering about 780km within 10hours. Fully stock model of GTS200. I had run petrol till 320km & pump 11.63 litres of Shell. It brings me thru SUPER heavy downpour. Less then 30 meters visibilities.

I am having fun with this bike. THIS BIKE IS A KEEPER.

 

Is installing Radio on this bike a good idea?[/size]

fuwah! Thanks for updating your xp. I too feel satisfied with your updates. Sg - penang, what were you thinking? but really its a piece of info for this bike.

 

anyway, for all bros here, actually im pretty much in a fix whether to get gts200 or x8. i mean ive riden the x8 b4 and i know how reliable it is - comfort, power and $ (big) to maintain it.

 

but after reading bro gentaro's info (personel opinion) w regards to spare parts and machine reliability, it really gives some important points to think of b4 signing for this bike tho...i mean tot this bike might save some money on maintenance and i dont have to worrry on materials defects and life span.

 

well hope anyone can share some light here.

looks exactly the same as the 200 cept for the exhaust, transmission cover(no kickstart for obvious reasons), signal light on mirror, seat button and pillion seat rest. 250i stands for fuel injection?

 

thought i read on TAG a few years back reviewing the Sym Voyager with fuel injection.

 

in any case the 250 seems much more powerful compared to the 200. 12L is sufficient for the 200. I'm running around 330 full tank.
