Just ordered a Beverly 350 from my local dealer to keep my TMAX company. The power and torque to weight ratios are on a par with the Yamahaha, so it should be a fun scoot. I know it looks a bit girly, but I don't care. (Horobags eat your heart out. ) It looks like it will take a month to arrive, as there is no UK stock. Ordered the matt silver.

Look forward to some pics and a review.

I'll be happy to oblige. I'm almost as frequent a scooter changer as Mark. However, the TMAX is a keeper as it is one of the best two wheelers I have ever ridden.

I've always liked the look of the BV and was surprised that only 38 of the 300cc versions got registered in the UK. Seems like the BV is doing a roaring trade in Italy... in fact it is the best selling Italian scoot full stop!

Congrats monsieur. It certainly looks like a fine machine from what I've been reading.

well I'm jelous.!! The beveley 350 looks like a grear all rounder, very stable ,(big wheels) torquey motor(350cc), and the looks are a bit different than the norm, which certainly appeals to me, nice one Doug, keep us posted.
It suprises me in the Italian sales list for dec 2011, that the honda sh300it, came 6th with 188 units sold, while vespa gts 300 came 20th with only 50 units sold. Piaggio,,,,, your FIRED!!!, (sorry ive just been watching "the apprentice").

I want someone to buy the Aprilia srv 850 or the Tmax 530 to give us a review.

Over to Mark for those two. I'm sure they'll both appear soon enough on here. I wouldn't buy either, unless I won the lottery...

Yup!! Though I'm sure there's someone on here who's got a GP800 and likes it. The SRV gets a right slagging off in this month's MCM - though there was also a letter to the mag from a reader saying how much he loved his GP800, except for the £466 12,000 mile service bills.........

This dealer claims (on EBay) to have stock, not sure if that's RRP pricing? Linky

Enjoy it when you get it, I'm just waiting for a local dealer (Slocombes @ Neasden) to get their demo unit in, due any day now apparently.

Dealer at Vauxhall had a couple of new Beverley's in stock, sure one was a sport, he also had an old stock new white Moto Guzzi V7 classic at £5995, but I would not deal with them as they are now an ex Guzzi dealer and people on this site do not rate their service highly.
