Hi All
I live in Norfolk and was looking for cheap commuter and winter bike This is my first scooter a Piaggio X9 250 and as a old motorcyclist I found it so much better then I thought having ridden motorcycles all my life from 1100cc to 32cc.
I would like to try the 400cc X9?

welcome lad, if you could get the 500 with low low miles on her i think it would be a better buy than the 400

I would definitely recommend the Xevo 400 - based on my experience it goes well and is surprisingly frugal. Build quality is better than you might think, too.

Really that was my fault, I should have checked it over properly and seen that bearing was shagged before we left. It is pretty well put together; despite the much-derided Italian electrics, fact is this one's lived outside nearly all it's life and pretty much everything still works. The brake calipers could do with stripping and painting but those aside it's pretty well free of corrosion. It even made a good job of surviving getting dropped.
