Here’s some pre-Milan show goodness courtesy Chris “CoffeeDrink” of our sister city San Antonio. The photos are from MotorBox.com and a story can be found at good ‘ole Cyberscooter.it. In it they announce the shock-and-awe inspiring Gilera Fire with FIVE HUNDRED CUBES under the seat. (note: put eyes back in head)

Also seen below from Vespa are the classically styled GTV (comes in a 125cc and 250cc similar to the limited editon GT-60, but I call it The GT-Sexy) and the Vespa S with trapezoidal headlight… I don’t know much about it, but if they resurrected the T5 I wouldn’t be mad.)

(THANKS FOR THE SCOOP CHRIS! This Milan show could be scooter heaven.)

***UPDATE***
Motorbox.com has a story to go along with their photos as well.
Did you know there are only 999 of the Vespa GT-60′s being made?

    About the GTV, they were really worried that the low headlight wouldn’t pass USA regulations but it sailed through with no problems. Of course, the USA model will get lollipop blinks because the ones integrated into the bodywork are too close. Personnally, the first thing I would do would be to remove the lollipops and re-route the wiring back to the original blinkers.

    I love that Gilera. I really like the MP3, so take it back closer to the prototype and give it more engine and I’m definitely excited.
