2004 Piaggio X9 500 review from Greece
"One of the best mega scooters by far"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
So far nothing wrong, not even a lamp off.
General comments?
I bought this motorcycle used with 3350 Km, and from the first test drive, it proved a winner.
Engine roll and handling proved to be top notch.
Braking is awesome, and you have and must use only the left brake handle.
Comfort is another thing, it's not a lie that my wife called it the limo of all mega scooters.
Fuel economy, well I must say with an average 4,5L per 100Km in city driving, it's very good for a 500cc 220Kilos 40Hp bike.
