There was another Leo around 2004 that was known as a 300. These had a 264cc engine.

Yamaha had a (very!!!!) slightly bigger version of the 250 Maj engine which went into the Versity/Kilibre. Slightly more torque apparently, but calling it a 300 is a bit dubious!!!

It was quite comfy - very well sorted suspension. I'm not sure where the comments about bad weather protection come from. It's just like any normal scooter, though a bigger screen was essential for higher speed roads.

It comes purely from looking at photos. Highly subjective and founded on no real world experience. I know how exposed I was on the PS, and the Leo looks similar.

my gilera runner is for sale if that interests you

Well, from my real world experience, it was fine! Enormously better than an SH, put it that way....
