    @@TonysGarage_UK I've just ordered the TG300S Euro 5, pick it up next week. My first foray away from my original Lambretta (Jet 200) and Vespa P150X (Mk1). Love my old scoots but now in my 50's and want a bit of comfort on the journeys plus I reckon I will ride a lot more with one of these, that's the plan anyway. Thanks for the video and what is involved in TASSO upgrade ?...cheers

    Great review. Riding position on the Lammie, '70s stylee, was perched on the front edge of the seat, knees splayed out as far as possible and leaning back with arms straight. Would look ridiculous now.

    I've a GP 125 and find the suspension is great: maybe they use the same fittings for the 300 and it doesn't feel so good with the extra power? The seat height is perfect for me, but then I'm 6ft 1"!

    One rider and it's OK apart from hitting pot holes, which most would suffer too. But with a pillion, it's awful. Bottoms out and bounces.

    Good question. The Purist snobbery ruined ownership for me at first, but its such a good scooter you soon get over that and as the numbers on the road and at the rallies increase it's becoming more acceptable. For me its the ideal scooter. I can tour in comfort and carry a pillion no problem, safely and at motorway speeds, and it still looks the part! So yep, well worth buying. Thanks
