Deffo hunting a scooter again.
Well after no scooter for around 9 years i am looking again, selling the vanvan as my joints cannot take the seating position anymore, tried a gts300 yesterday and i found it very uncomfy on my back and just did not gel at all with it although it was lovely to look at and power was nice its too cramped/odd for me, sat on a sym cruisym which was slightly better but need more legroom, jumped over to a 2nd hand 400 burgy which i think is the one to get unless i find something else in my budget which is not massive, depends if i get decent cash from the sale and my first months wage, hopefully 2.5 to 2800 ish should get a decent low miler, either need to be stretched out or really high so my legs can take some of the weight bearing down on my coccyx and lower back, ready for the glue factory at 47 years old its shocking!

£2500 is decent budget for used burger 400 .

Re: Deffo hunting a scooter again.
Best thing for you is possibly a T max. If you are 5`9" or over.
I miss the better suspension on my old T max and my current Silverwing affects my neck and back quite badly.
But I love the thing. Its still a littler better than a 400 Burman, or other engine pivot scooter.
My T max did not hurt my back or neck at all. Though it did hurt my hips a little as I only have a 27" inside leg.
The T max is more roomey, a Burgmean 400 or 650 even more so.
Good luck.

Dezzie had a Tmax, I think it was the 2008 model Mk 3. He modded it, was a nice scoot.
