Maxi Downsize Advice...

[MrGrumpy]

The Leo was a fun bike - they used to have very reliable Yamaha Maj bits in, but swapped to Piaggio engines at the takeover.
It used to handle superbly and the load area was big. Only downside was that it was terrifying in crosswinds.

Never had that terrifying side wind issue on my leo.

The later Leo 300's were not Piaggio engined, but actually a Minarelli 264cc.

You're right about the handling with Leo. I liken the Leo to a old mini, whereas the X9 is like a sierra.

The 250 has the best dash, and seems to have the best following.

Not quite Andy, but still a bargain! I'd blush if I told you how much (or little!)
