Hi,
My name is Pete and I ride a Piaggio X8 250i.
I have had it for one year and practically only used for commuting to work.
Nevertheless I am already considering to upgrade to 400 or 500 cc.
I am happy to read any comments on X8 and especially recommendations on 400/500 cc maxis.

Hi Pete, i have just recently joined this site as i have just bought a Piaggio X8 125, Have never ridden a scooter before now, always been a car driver, so i have got a lot to learn about scooters and riding, but am enjoying every moment of it.

Hi Pete and welcome. Plenty of choice around now, have a few test rides, see what you fancy and ask away when you got a shortlist.

Re: New member / Piaggio X8
The Xevo 400 is a decent option and would feel familiar after the 250, but there are clearly other non-Piaggio options.
Though others feel differently I think for solo use a 400 (or perhaps new Piaggio X10 350) is the ideal size, as it should always have plenty in reserve and not be over-stressed.
