greetings from a Piaggio rider from Helsinki, Finland

[jub3]

Hi all!

I bought a used Piaggio XEvo 400cc, my first maxi scooter, just last week, and decided to register here to read more about the bike; the mods, mpgs, service intervals, tyre choices etc.
So far I've been extremely happy with the bike; I just love the how easy it is to ride, the mpg is nice, acecleration is decent, and the looks aren't bad either.

Hi jub3 and welcome. I think the bike looks better without the beak.

Hello and Welcome to the Forum.

Where's its Beak (body mounted front mudguard)?

Now that you mention it, I have absolutely no idea I didn't actually pay attention to it until now. I guess I was way too excited about the bike when I was buying it, so I didn't pay attention to such small detail (a huge missing part).

I don't know if one of the previous owners has removed the original mudguard, but the bike is otherwise in such a good condition, so I don't think it has been crashed or anything. It does have a smaller mudguard attached though, but it's barely noticeable in the photo as it's really close to the front tyre. ..anyhow, I don't think it looks too bad without it.

I'm really glad I found this forum. What better way to spend one's maxi-honeymoon than read about stuff by other fellow maxi owners!
