Hello all, another new member here.

My name is Spyros and I'm seriously considering my first maxi scooter purchase. Used to ride a 2006 Vespa GT 125 until it was burnt by a stranger on a rampage a couple of years ago. Now leaning towards buying a used X8 or XEvo, but seem to stumble across more X9's - which I have to say I'm not a big fun of their looks.

Oh yeah, forgo to mention I'm probably looking to stay in the 125 or 250cc region (more because of the price and insurance costs rather than anything else)

Hi Spyros.
Welcome. I'd struggle to find a maxi I like the look of, other than the Tmax. Especially in the 125 to 250 range.
I think Suzuki do a 200 Burgman which looks reasonable.
Not sure what they're like though but the bigger engined ones seem to be well liked on here.
There's a few 200cc models on Autotrader
