Re: may be changing scooter
Have a look at the new piaggio X10 (350ie)......with ABS. Smaller engine than the Xevo 400 it's replaced, but supposedly as good as, if not better.
I've just part exchanged my Xevo for one, and will post photos and a review when I've had a chance to get some miles in (back problems at the mo).
Impressed so far....very smooth, but only managed 30miles.

Re: may be changing scooter

Re: may be changing scooter
On other hand, my extremely nice Peugeot can be had for a reasonable sum. http://www.maxi-muppets.co.uk/forum/vie ... 15#p156115
No rust that I can see, everything works, and it is running sweetly at 32k miles. Reliability? Well, I have put 10k on it in each of my 3 years of ownership since new, so that speaks for itself.

Re: may be changing scooter
Indeed so. Pugs are very different now from what they were 10yrs ago. The Satelis, Geopolis and Citystar stand comparison with anything.loonymoon wrote:I had a speedfight and it was a pile of shite and did seize...ridinhigh wrote:Stephen,
