I saw the Xmax below on ebay and noted in his description it says "Good-looking commuter scooter that provides comfort and economy (100mpg easily)" Does the 250 Xmax really return 100mpg?

Anyone know off hand what the xmax and SH weigh?

Had my '09 XMax250 since new, (30 months) and get mid 80's mpg for a 36 mile stop start round trip, Bromley / Catford / Lewisham / New Cross / OKR / Hefalump / Westminster Br...

Yamaha list the XMax250 as 176 Kg Wet (inc full Oil and Fuel) 15.6 Kw @ 7500 rpm (21 Hp) quite where measured, Crank probably, Aint gonna be rear wheel, Torque 21.3 Nm @ 6500 - but thats all brochure blah blah...

Honda quoting 161Kg (Dry) [+3Kg for ABS] / 19.6 Kw @ 8250(!) rpm (26.8 Hp ) / 26 Nm @ 6000 rpm (which is gonna be the more comparable figure for real world riding)

...but - you gotta park it nose first and walk away, you wouldn't want to see its face first thing in the morning... - it is Fugly...

I likes my XMax, had a Gilly VXR200 before... but i never checked out teh Honda, the XMax was advertised at a great price, £700 of list with 3 yrs @ 0% - and i still got a reasanable PX on the Gilly... Sometimes its the 'Deal' and not the 'Scoot'

Cool. ta. Thats pretty good. I followed one out of town last night and it didn't appear to be that sluggish away from the lights. I like the look of them too but think the Sh300 would be more suitable for me as its a bit lighter to hang on the back of my camper. I guess I'll wait and see what comes up at what price and if I can persuade myself to sell the Tmax!
