I was reading about the new Vespa GTS 300 Super that debuted recently at the New York Motorcycle Show. It has great specs, it's their most powerful model ever, it's getting a lot of talk and yeah it looks great ...wait, does it? ...
well, it looks like a Vespa ...
wait a minute, what is bothering me here?!?
By and large it looks like every other model they sell. Sure there are a few variations in style but on the whole it looks like every other Vespa in their line up!
Now I realize I may be about to go against the Holy Church of the Italian Wasp, and those who are perfect are not to be questioned, and why change something that isn't broken, and who am I to question the all mighty Vespa ... but ... but I look at your site and I look at your 09 line up and I'm bored ... snore, yawn, comatose!!!
No model of anything stays the same, it evolves and adapts over time. It gets better, its gets worse, it changes with the styles. The true mark of tradition lies inside the machine with it's construction and quality, not with its colorful candy shell.
Vespa, the word of the day is "diversify"
