A big scoot would be great for weekends but the reality is that I need to strategically squeeze it into the company carpark without upsetting the people that pay for the privilege (and I dont). So we shall see. Like you previous post, when you look around with X dollars to spend you see something that you like for Y dollars. Just like houses etc really!
    Oh God, YES, it's just like houses (it's been a year since I did that for the first time and real estate advertising still makes me heave).

    I am also mindful that I slip into the company carpark for free. Also I like to have storage space to carry some "good" clothes for special meetings at the office (a dress doesn't always work worn under my scooter gear). And space for the groceries I always seem to be picking up.

    If it's relevant, I thought the room for a pillion was quite good. I tried it as that's where my partner would be (I am with one of those wonderful, mythical men who are willing to be a pillion and have the woman drive ). The pillion positioning seemed pretty ok (high enough to see past the driver) and it left a decent amount room for the driver. It's not super generous though - I bet the Burgman is much more comfy (I hope I'm not talking myself into one here).

    Anyway good luck and let us know what you decide.

    How much are they?

    As a matter of interest. Seeing as the GTS250 is 8500 plus, just wondering (I would have a problem justifying a 4th scooter!)

    Ouch! More than I expected. At that price, an X9 is in the frame.

    Scooteria, Parammatta Rd, Sydney. Great choice, big and small. Great place to tyre kick. He, he. Cheers.
    When you take thousands of photos of your bike does the light from the flash weaken the plastic?
