So, does it have underseat storage? — I always ask that first, but the GTS class has decent room so no worries there. Offering both 155cc and 278cc with liquid cooling, a smart key and full LED all standard shows real presence as a premium scooter — this is the good stuff, honestly, a bike you can live with for years.
