Not the Silverwing; one of that vintage will be heavy on petrol.
If it were post 2008/9 I'd recommend it above the others. :)

there must be lower mileage scoots available, dont get me wrong but generally the dealer has his price on top, better to find a loved scoot from a genuine seller, and you have to factor whether they can service the scoot as well, otherwise there is more cost.

has he tried ebay spain http://www.ebay.es/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

None look an especially good deal, if limited to these three I'd offer 3000 for the Majesty, if not accepted then I'd look further afield. Aren't there any 300cc Sym or Kymco units in Spain.

If the story is the same as here there may be several Maxsym 400 coming to the market has their owners trade them in for the 600

Not ridden any of the 3 , but if the Yamaha had satisfactory performance ( not just engine ) it would be my choice . Price difference to the Honda would buy a lot of petrol though .
