Only a few are!
The majority are like me. Argumentative and critical! :evil:
Now stop messing about with 250's and get a Tmax


Oh, and welcome Rio. :D

moving up from a 125cc manual scoot a maxi is physically a lot bigger so i thought a 250 would be a wise move rather than rip my arms out the sockets with a 400 or 500 !remember my vespa was a wee little thing..

Welcome. Try a bigger one before you discount them completely. I went from a 125 gilera runner to a yamaha tmax 500 and loved it. If your near by you could always try my burgman 400 which I have for sale.

Hi Rio. I remember as a new rider getting my first brand new shiny scoot. A sym 125. 6 short weeks later I test rode and bought my tmax. I never ripped my arms off once, but I fell in love. Welcome :-)
