I had a X9 500 ie for 3 months , it didn't like roundabouts or tight corners , this looks like it would have the same problem

I agree with that, a Chinese looking rip off of a Burgman. Very dull and uninspired. It looks dated too.

Battery died along with the starter permission soleniod.

Shit!...that sucks.

£135 quid lighter for the new battery and for the garage to get the solonoid issue.

will it come to us or not look like Italy will be bust broke soon, plus they will still close factory in August,
what are the servicing intervals ( every 3000)
then there is the price.

The service intervals will be at least 6000 miles, Piaggio are saying the new 350 will have even longer intervals. Id imagine the price will be better than anyone elses too and judging by the new Beverly it will be built very well too.

However, having said that I just cannot get past the hideous looks, it just doesnt look Italian at all... a major fuck up by Piaggio IMHO styling wise. Weve waited ages for a replacement for the X9 and we get offered a melted X8 cross Burgman

Yeah but Mystic Mottza got £125 knocked of the scoot, so actually only cost him a tenner!!!

Yuk.
