piaggio x evo

[andyscooter]

Am looking at x evos at the moment but all seem to dae miles away so cant sit on one but seat is the same height as the vespa

Has any one got any ideahow tall the screen is

Im 5foot 5 would I be looking over it or through it

I had a X8 400 which as you know is more or less the same bike as a X evo. I'm a fairly tall chap at 6ft 1" and the standard screen was a bit low for me and I got a lot of wind buffeting so I bought a Givi screen which was pretty much spot on.

I would imagine at your height you would be looking just over the screen but its not too hard to cut it down an inch or 2 if necessary.
I regret that I sold my X8 400 as it was a cracking bike especially for motorways or dual carriageways where it could more than hold its own with the faster traffic

I'll probably be just as helpful as Meldrew, but if it's a standard OEM screen, I would think (unless you have very long legs and a short body!)
you would be fine to see over it. I used to have an Xevo, (and 5' 9'') and the standard screen was far too low for me.

+2 Xevo has been good in all weathers with or without a pillion, reliable and cheap to run. I'm 6" 2 and am way over the screen. It's a very noisy screen so I wear ear plugs all the time. I just couldn't bring myself to buy one of those huge Givi monstrosities and if you ride lots you're better off with ear plugs anyway.
