As i still struggle with buying another scooter with a big engine.... and ditching the helix, which i love but its just not big enough engine wise... my thoughts have been invaded by these relatively cheap scoots..... or is that for good reason
Any good??

The 500 is just an X9 with nicer bodywork and less electrickery bits to go wrong. Nothing much wrong with that...

I was tempted to get one, but they wasn't cheap. The Atlantic Sprint was a nicer scoot.

Yes the Sprint is the one to go for, much nicer scooter overall.

The original was a beast...hard work round corners. Loads of electrical gremlins as well.
Loved the looks though!

A very good scoot for lanky sods, so I've been told.
