No maxi-scooter?

Still tempted. Priority for me is a lighter bike. When the RT eventually gets sold maybe that would be the time to get a scoot as a second bike.

Kawasaki Ninja H2 is only 216 Kg . Think you'll look good on one of them Bob !

Do they do the kwak in white?

Understand the Yamaha XP530 is a lot less sluggish off the line than the XP500 - sadly not sold here any more.

It was the 530 i had in Spain and yes it is quick off the mark. Not a comfy as a Burgman though.

Brig, no they don't do it in white.

Could you PM me the details of the contact you have at Kawasaki as it's top of the list at the mo. I need to know a few certain things.

Kawasaki bikes with more than 200-HP cause "Little Willy" syndrome.
