what makes a scooter a ‘maxi’?

[MrGrumpy]

Interesting that the French refer to the likes of an S-wing 125 as a "GT" scooter, that's how I see maxis, i.e. scooters capable of long distance touring in comfort.

Not sure I'd like to embark on a long tour on any 125, however, comfortable!

Is my Burgman 200 a maxi?? It shares its body work with the 125, its actually quite small and 200cc isn't a lot. On the other hand, it does have a superficial resemblance to its bigger brothers, and its got more underseat storage than many bigger maxis!!!

Having always been a Motorcyclist( or whatever they currently call motorcyclists) i would never in my wildest dreams have imagined myself getting on a Scooter. My idea of scooters were those nasty noisey pop pop things from Italy that appeared in the sixties. The only thing that enticed me to a "Scooter" or Maxi-Scooter was a fourstroke engine mounted in a scooter frame and at least 400cc.Having had my Silverwing600 for excatly two years on 30/5/12.My belief is that it is a Motorcycle engine in a scooter frame,the scooter framework gives extra protection from the weather, and the extra cubbie boxes are very handy.That is my defination of a Maxi-Scooter.
