Maxi-scooters (250cc and larger) represent one of the fastest growing sectors in the scooter market today. With all of the major manufacturers having a 250cc...
My impression of the X9 250 was that it was nice but lacked motorway performance, but when I rode the 500 I was sold on it and bought one. I had ridden it in...
... I ... of ... hills ... Evenin' All!! I'm glad you're enjoying your new X9 500!! I have to agree that the X9 250 is somewhat lacking in the performance...
Hi "martianflips" and well done to FastReg for starting this group. I too have just purchased an X9 500 and am extremely pleased with the performance so far. I...
Hello there What a palaver it is to sign up to this group, apologies Fast Reg but when I clicked on your message in the general UK scooter group it said there...
... but ... that ... Hi there, Emma!! I'm wondering if Piaggio's insistence on the X9 500 being faster than the T-Max is to the detriment of other areas. To...
Hi Emma and welcome! The Benelli Velvet has to be one of the best looking scooters around - the one I saw was burgundy with lots of chrome bits! It also...
Hi, I've done around 670m on my X9, mainly over 8 riding days, keeping to within 80% of the top speed as per instructions in the manual. I seem to have...
Hi All, I have recently purchase a Burgmann 400, 2nd hand. Am I the only one here with one ? Its ok, nicer on the open road than my Runner (part exed), and not...
Apologies if this comes along with 1st message re weighty scooters, I'll keep it brief. Really I was just wondering which of the maxi-scooters had the lowest ...
Hi I have'nt had the chance to try any big maxi-scooters yet (in October my 33hp restriction will have come to the end of two years all going well). My point...
... more ... Evenin' Burgerman!! As far as I know, you're the first Burger owner on here!! Perhaps you'd like to tell us a bit more about your new maxi-scoot. ...
Hi One of the main reasons I like the X9 500 is that it has excellent balance which I think has a lot to do with the fact that the fuel tank is virtually...
Hello all, Nice to see familiar faces! As most of you know, I own an X9 125. Things I would like for it at the moment would be to cruise at 70 (engine feels ...
I just picked up my X9 250 on monday. Weighs a ton (top box and rack) compared to my old Aerox. PICS radio is useless. One thing though is that the new SE...
Evenin' Dave!! Yes, there does seem to be something about the shape of the X9's front that does a good job of disguising it's layout!! I often have to look...
Evenin' James!! Good to see you!! Not sure I get the Star Trek quote, though. I think you might be hoping for a bit much to see 70mph out of your X9 125. From...
Hi Dave I had an X9 250 for two years (not the SL) and grew very fond of it - I think my wife was secretly jealous cos she always tutted when I started talking...
Dave, Best of luck with your new baby! It sure is a heavy machine, but you'd be surprised how quickly you'll get used to it. While the 250 is slightly heavier...
Reg, Thanks for the welcome! The Star Trek thing is my email sig.I guess it could apply to both scootering and outer space, eh? :) Taffspeed tells me there's...
Hi It seems that Benelli is being left behind somewhat in the Maxi- scooter category what with Malagutti coming out with their 400 Madison. I suppose it is...

The ultimate machine would be a V4 Honda V-tec 600cc in an X9 frame and bodywork with fixed engine and seperate swing arm as the T-Max with the twin upswept...
So the pics box is in the front is it? You are not the only tinkerer, I just have to dismantle everything to find out whats in there and am not happy until I...
Yes the microphone boom is a nuisance. My main helmet is an open face full visor job and there is nowhere to clip it to and my spare full face now has a coiled...
... the ... jack ... too ... Dave, Your PICS unit uses jack plugs for the headset/microphone??? Mine uses crappy 4 pin connectors (at both ends), all of which...
Evenin' All!! Oh dear! It sounds as though the PICS system seems to be causing a fair degree of bother, and I'm beginning to wonder about the value of it after...
Hmm!! I'm salivating already!! Mind you, if it goes as well as it should, it would need some more adventurous styling than an X9 chassis. Personally, I'd give...
Yes my sockets on the side of the bike are standard 3.5mm jack sockets with waterproof covers. The leads have jack plugs with a shroud that keeps them...
