Calling kayz1 with the ugly scoot

Post by VOZZA »

Hey Lyn, any updates on the new bike like real world mpg and how good the dct is with the low rev engine? I'm kind of interested in the NT700X with the dct box. I also like the look of the Honda luggage as it is slimline although I know it is not likely to be cheap.

Its quite amazing that nearly every thread on here ends up discussing the N700X!!!! Especially as it isn't a scooter!

That's probably because the majority of the regulars are bikers historically and not scooterists. They may have, or have had a scooter, but a geared bike is their thing really and they eventually go back to one, unless they are stuck with a scooter for physical reasons.

Same here, I had bikes and then went to Vespas. Then moved on to autos and have dabbled with a couple of bikes since but, the Maxi scoot is just so good and exactly what I love riding. I know if I bought another bike I would get bored of it quickly.

The weird thing is that I keep thinking about whether I'd want one myself, though god knows why as it has hardly more grunt than the TMax and looks like a damned cold ride in the winter, let alone bothering with a chain. Someone in a nearby office has one (manual version probably) and I keep going and staring at it at lunchtime.....

Understand tim and yes your right re cold and chain but those machines are aimed at riders like me wanting a bike with scooter twist and go
