A cover that is flapping in the wind can scratch the vehicle and also keep damp inside.

Seagulls would have to mimic Harrier jump-jets in the Falklands if they wanted to score hits on my scooter as it's parked very close to the wall of the building.

Agreed! Horses for courses!

it will be parked outside in a secure driveway.
So surprisingly NOT under a cover, and open to all of the elements seems to be the best way to go.
I can imagine that road salt is its worst enemy, so regular washing appears on the cards. Thanks for replies.

I think Data's advice about Waxol or ACF50 along with regular washing especially to remove salt is the best.
I think also it's worth covering the seat with a sheet of plastic though as we all know what it's like sitting down on a wet seat.
Some people will recall the X9s were fitted with a 'shower-cap' as standard to keep the seat dry.
