Күн бұрын2020 Royal Alloy GP 300S LC UK Review - 6 Month and 1000 mile (well almost) looking at the good and bad points of the scooter.
Many points will be similar to other models in the range, GP and TG, 125, 200 and 300cc.
Recorded on a fine Autumnal day from Marske by the Sea to sunny Saltburn in England's North East.

@@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

Hi, you'll love it and as you say, will hopefully get out more on it. I've done a full series explaining exactly what's involved with the Tasso kit including fitting it. just have a look in the playlists, sit back, stick the kettle on and enjoy LOL

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.

Tony can you point me in the direction of where you got the chrome strip that goes around your side panels please, I have a paint chip right on the edge that would cover nicely with the strip as its wide.

@pauliesk.7102 10 ай бұрын
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"!
@TonysGarage_UK 10 ай бұрын
You might be right. Don't think there's a massive weight difference either. They just feel a bit dud and lifeless to me.

I don't quite understand the logic of installing mirror extenders and then rotating the mirror heads inward to cancel out the benefit of the mirror extenders?

What's wrong with the suspension? Is it really bumpy and does it bottom out over little bumps and stuff?
@TonysGarage_UK Жыл бұрын
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

@@TonysGarage_UK thanks for getting back. I have a gts but have been looking at these as they look great. I don't care what others think, as long as it goes AtoB and I can do the odd long trip then ill be happy, just not sure if I should wait till March for the new version

You wont be disapointed, I have the GT240 on one of my Lambrettas which has taken me all over Europe without a hitch and will happily sit at a gps 65-70 mph loaded with camping gear. I have a Grand Tourisimo in my other Lambretta and that is almost as quick
