    Hello from western South Dakota!

    I've wanted a 'large' Vespa for years, and when a nice, slightly used (500 miles) 2020 GTS 300 HPE popped up after being traded in at Sturgis Indian during the 2022 Sturgis Rally, I jumped on it. I now have about 6200 miles on it in the year I've owned it. I like the heck out of it.

    Unable to switch engine modes.

    For the past month, I have been unable to switch my '22's engine modes. Since new, I have been riding my R3 in 'Sport' mode almost exclusively, but it now seems stuck in 'Road' mode and nothing I do will get it back into 'Sport' mode, which I generally prefer. I did replace the bike's battery...

    Hello from western South Dakota!

    Just found this forum, own a 2022 Rocket 3 R, now with about 13,000 miles on it and on its second set of tires, though they're not original Avons. I've owned seventy motorcycles over the years since 1966, and my 'other' current machine is a 2020 Vespa GTS300 scooter.
