Nice one Wildun,
I looked at an X10 but decided on a Majesty, I have no idea why, the X10 is probably better on fuel I guess. I too went from a bike, a Bonneville, I too have had large bikes, Guzzi Californias, BMW R1150R ect. I like the ease of use the scooter gives me plus I don't need to spend hours cleaning it if I fancy a ride in shitty weather!

Welcome, I'm new to this world too.
The biggest difference straight away is how much more I'm using the scooter than I would have done my big old motorbike. I am sure you will find this yourself swapping from a Pan.

Hi there....I'm another X10 rider myself...she's in for her 1st Service after 650miles. Great bike, so wasy around town and legs for the motorway. I did consider the new BMWC650GT, but its not really here in the GB (that I can see) and price was double X10! so I'm a happy rider.... Enjoy!

Hi again,
Yes, I still have 1970 BSA Bantam 175 and 1993 Mz301, I have been to France and Belgium on both of these this year. Also have 2007 Kawasaki 650, been to Switzerland, Germany etc on that. We are looking forward to hopefully Holland as well as our normal France and Belgium trips on the X10 in 2013. We are waiting for better weather to give the X10 a good run out, I did 250 miles solo on the first weekend and totally enjoyed the ease of riding it, only the smaller wheels finding more bumps than I am used to with the other bikes taking a bit of getting used to. Since then have been otherwise engaged, frustrating. I had to miss the Northern group around the Vale of Belvoir, that would have been a good introduction to you lot! I am not confident that I have done this photo uploading right, let's give it a go.
Chris.
