Wow. That is cheap. And decent looking.
How many miles do you intend to do with it?

Welcome to the dark side of biking.
Expect to find yourself riding it more than the other bikes, and not just for commuting.

Sorry to hear it's a bit of a not good reason for buying but at least you can still get on two wheels.

I've got an Xmax300 and I do keep thinking about using it as a mini-tourer.

Welcome to the club!

Before we moved up to Yaarksha in 2021, I sold the 1200GS to simplify things (having previously had four of them in the preceding twenty years). I replaced it last year with a Kymco 400i and now wonder why I didn't try one sooner!

Great fun for tootling about and brilliant on fast A-roads. Deceptively quick (because automatic) and good handling now that I've ditched the OE tyres.

Lexmoto had a dealer in MK, they still do, the company sells loads of bikes that have dodgy names that are a play on bigger brands.

Nice one, love a maxi scoot.

My '23 plate Xmax 300 techmax has replaced my 1000cc bike, so I sold it. Just running about on the scooter now.

I'm definitely looking forward to some trips out on it into Mid Wales, maybe further next year.

Haha I can hear him now muttering something about scooters keeping your vagina dry when it rains biglaugh

I might change my job soon and that might mean commuting more often into central London. I have the Kawasaki J300 or a Vstrom 250 on the shortlist but might have to have a look at these.
