However good, 7.5 grand for a 300 is too much. I know it will perform well, and most car engines are now small cc, but I think its too expensive to tempt riders of 2 wheels over.

I wonder if the full-span LCD (?) instrument screen will be on the next Xmax update? Haven't yet seen the display when lit though - will search.

I would agree with you on this Horo. It's still an interesting prospect though and something I'm looking out for in the dealer's. I read somewhere about a July landing in UK but not here in South West at the moment.

Looking forward just to seeing the size of the thing really.

Maybe not. Looks very dull.

Visordown video review of the Tricity 300. Surprisingly informative - and he loved it!

Tricity was that the budget brand for the electricity board when you had a choice of 1 company ...

Yes, vaguely remember the Tricity brand - which is possibly why Yamaha would like you to pronounce the name of their 3 wheeled scoots as 'Tri-City' rather than 'Trissity'! :lol:
