Are there 350 MP3s? There were 350 X10s (but not 500s in the UK), and the article refers to a MP3 500, but not a 350. The 350 engine in the Bev was fun!!

Yup.

Ah..thanks! That does sound fun.....except for the £7,800 price tag.

It is a bit pricey. There's a 66 mile minter for £6695. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... 500&page=2

Actually, the 500cc X10 was available in the UK. Nice bike too.

Surely anything at that price and above should have a swinging arm at the back, The big Yamaha Niken does at least.

But what a beast and a price that is.

Yamaha know how to put a chain rear drive on a scooter so where is the mid range mid priced one with proper comfort etc. Grumble grumble etc.

Saying that I would never ever buy a new Yamaha after mr G`s goings on at the moment.
