Hi Everyone
I found this forum whilst searching for information about Piaggio X8 that i am thinking of buying.
Have driven cars all my life but seem to have developed a hankering to have some two wheeled fun on a scooter, and a Piaggio X8 has come up for sale near where i live'
Has anybody got any views or advice about this scooter, I know nothing about them at all, but am looking forward to having one.

Hi
Ive got a X8 125 and i love it to bits.
What engine size are you thinking of buying?
If its a 125,then go for the 4v LC version over the 2v air cooled one.
I saw this on ebay...Is this the one your interested in?

Yes That's the one, been to have a look and really like it, Everything seems in order aswell, It's just my total lack of knowledge about scooters that is stopping me from making a firm offer
