Yeah, I ride with a pillion a lot and I'm a big heavy lump. The Xevo performs well with a pillion even on long motorway journeys but from a standing start with a pillion and luggage it's quite sluggish. Although the x10 350 would probably be quicker off the line I think it'd suffer on longer journeys especially fully loaded on the motorway.
The 500 version looks nice but it's not enough of a jump in power for me to justify moving up to from the Xevo (not that I've got the money anyway!)

to be fair none of us have the money.it's just down to how frugale we can be so i can afford it...lol...nothing wrong with the sym, if i hadn't had the test ride i'd probly be keeping it...but i did an have to have one..lol
an to be honest the piaggio does make a little more sence ,much longer service intervals being the main thing..an dealers that are much closer should i need things doing..

Good choice. The Bianco Perla is by far the best colour.
