Aprilia SRV 850 with top speed 190kph. Im still wondering why buy one. $17000.00 and 250kg. Reviews say it handles poorly, is top heavy and has rubbish soft suspension.

What do you want the scooter for? - commuting, run-about?

[nzspokes]

Everything. Remember we have seen a picture of your bike.

Not for me. Its for a slightly disabled rider.

Have just found out about Aprilla Mana's. That will be a much better option. Needs to be auto.

There's also the Honda DN-01. But it's pretty weird looking and almost 40kg heavier than the Mana.

The clue with maxi scooters is the first word. Large, heavy, scooters. No idea which is the best but I was blown away in Europe being passed by a bloke in shorts texting on his maxi. I was doing about 160kmh and hanging on for grim death. Not great with corners or braking, though. Saw lots of wobbling.

I have had my eye on the MP3 and now the Yammie Tricity.
I'm thinking the 600cc version will come out just when I can afford it.

Just a thought, no doubt easily modified and no feet down.

Late edit. I saw lots of maxis touring in Scotland, from mainland Europe. Usually in the company of a pack of BMW's.

BMW's got C650. I don't know about being best tho.

It might be a misprint but the listing is $1000 more than the standard manual on honda's website:

These guys kindly offered to bring in an ABS version of the manual for me last year, also unavailable locally from Honda, as a special order (but I couldn't afford it.)

There's a naked NC750S and NC750D integra scooter version in the range overseas as well, all with DCT transmissions.

Pricey though.

That NC750 looks good...
