    Yeah they won't have a DCT in stock, it'll be special order if at all. So no pics, no test rides either. So not really all that helpful.

    Suzuki Burgman 400 '08+ or Yamaha Majesty 250 or 400 will do most of the jobs.

    For longer rides or often two-up, you may wanna consider a Burgman 650.

    What about a three wheeler?

    At one end of the spectrum, the Can-Am Spyder:

    and at the other, the Yamaha Tricity (already previously mentioned):

    SYM have a decent name as far as scooters go

    Watch out for tow ropes and quickly braking cars

    As Moi rightfully pointed out what do you want to do with a scooter.
    Sounds like you no better and have ridden them all
    Some of us are trying to be of some help but you no better and just want to argue.
    Thats why i said buy a tractor

    I think the man has it sorted... perhaps this avenue was not the one he wished to ride...

    Yeah they appear to be good on most counts popular overseas with good reports.
    Not far behind the main players on quality.
    It all comes down to support i guess.
    Even some of the main players here in nz lack on support even if they have the best product.
    We just dont have the numbers of sales to support.
    So this sort of answers the question if you are following this post.
    Suzuki should be the best maxi as they have sold the greatest numbers not that i would personally rate them as the best quality
