Took the plunge.

Post by defscoot »

New to the forum. I mentioned in my intro that I was thinking of switching from a CB125F to a maxi scooter.

http://www.maxi-muppets.co.uk/forum/vie ... =2&t=21659

Well, I went down to my local dealer to just take a look at what they had and of course when you're not sure you've got the money together you end up seeing something awesome.

Saw a Yamaha XMAX 125. 2015 with only 300 miles on clock but really cheap. English guy had it in Spain for his holiday home but never used it so the store was selling it on his behalf.

I went home and thought about it but then went back today and bought it.

Picking it up on Monday. I'm convinced I'll prefer a maxi scooter to a motorbike. I'll still do the MOD2 on a geared bike as I'm already progressing with that.

If I love the XMAX 125, then who knows, perhaps once my test is done, will probably look at a bigger scoot.

Majesty 125 was my "first bike" when I came back to bikes aged 40 something.

There's a logical progression here - Xmax 125, pass test, T-Max 530. Result - happiness!

Always seek the happy medium - she's out there, riding her scooter.

There is likely to be an intermediate phase - Xmax 300 or 400, then TMax!

£2300 with a helmet and chain lock thrown in.

Not bad considering the new price of > £4000.
