Individual Vespa GTS conversion, tuning - Vespa GTS Custom

Vespa GTS Conversion, Tuning -> Vespa GTS Custom Scooter

Before we get to the Vespa GTS conversions, let's take a look back: The Vespa has been a collector's item since the 1950s, which owners have always enjoyed customizing. Accessories and add-on parts such as mirrors, crash bars, speedometers, badges, anti-theft devices, trim strips, heated grips, child seats, pillion seats, fuel gauges and chrome accessories from manufacturers such as Ardor, Appel, Ulma and Vigano were used to convert the Vespa back then.

In the 1980s

, a movement sprouted up in England with mods and the scooter boys, which soon spread across the Channel to Germany and the rest of Europe and cast a spell over them. Vespa / Piaggio itself now offers a range of accessories. There's no accounting for taste! Some people went a bit overboard in the wild 80s and bolted everything onto their Vespa that the accessories market had to offer.

The 90s and 2000s

This is the birth of the Scooter Centers: 1992. The scooter scene is at its zenith in Germany and Europe. Thousands meet up at the weekend at scooter meetings = scooter runs, such as the SCOOTERDIVE and many other events, to celebrate the vehicles, the music, themselves and the lifestyle.

Custom shows" take place, in the off-season these are independent events with a party before and / or after = Nighter. At the Scooter Customshow, the elaborately converted scooters are exhibited and judged by a jury. The biggest custom shows were, for example, in Hamburg, Munich or the Extravaganza in the Ruhr area and, of course, our scooter show in Cologne since 2008.

Today: 2020 Modern Vespa models

Not much has changed to date: The modern Vespa is more powerful and engine tuning may be a little more complex due to the introduction of digital engine control, but the urge to individualize and optimize the Vespa is unbroken. Not without reason: the Vespa has regularly topped the sales list of motorcycles for years, so of course you want to stand out from the crowd! And the chassis of the Vespa GTS, for example, has significant potential for optimization. It's not for nothing that our bgm PRO shock absorbers for the GTS are test winners and bestsellers. LED indicators and LED headlights for GTS & Co are also popular conversions. In our Vespa Shop we offer you with our own brands bgm and MOTO NOSTRA and selected accessories and tuning suppliers (such as Piaggio, bgm, Moto Nostra, Malossi, Polini, Remus, Scorpion, Akrapovic, Leo Vince, HD Corse, Power 1, a wide range of tuning and accessories for your modern Vespa GTS, Primavera or Sprint.
