Barge poles come into mind.

Yeah yeah, it's just a coincidence that two have crashed in to you.

Since looking at Funckiecowies nexus I have been looking round at different ones and even on youtube and came across Ginger Phils two vids of his nexus. I still say ouch when I watch.

If you're going to write off a scooter do it properly!

AGREED

Steve unless you have deep pockets I really would stick with what you've got for the time being. Mine has gone wrong again today & I'm really starting to hate it. I recently added up what I've spent on it in my ownership (since Nov 2011) & in all honesty I could've run 2 cars for what I've spent. If you really must have a 500 the X9 is a far superior bike in every way apart from the handling & the SL model the most reliable of the lot, you just need to keep on top of the maintenance, on my old one the rear lamp connectors needed cleaning every once in a while but that was it. Seriously mate they look good & handle superbly but I wouldn't bother.

Don't like the x9. Might look at the satelis 500 and the tmax again. But still like the nexus.

Since I have had no interest in the burgman, looks like I will be keeping it.

Which to me is a sensible decision.
