Royal Alloy has sold about 2000 GT models in the UK alone. That’s about half of all RAs registered in the UK (GT, GP, TG). Yes, the GT was the first model on the market over here by a year or so and that may be why the numbers are so skewed. Nevertheless it’s still on sale in showrooms and there are plenty of used examples around. If you’re thinking about buying one, stay tuned...
Where my GT affair began
Graham Reedy (formerly of Manchester Scooter Centre) got me on one as I was looking around for something to potter about on while reporting. I was under no illusions as to its potential and I haven’t been disappointed. But before I get into the weeds of niggles, loves and dislikes it’s time for a little history lesson.
