• Toying with binning off the motorbike and getting a 250 Xmax scooter but the insurance quotes are a bit extreme- Carole Nash £500 for third party only with nine years ncd and had a license for 26 years, they wouldn’t even offer tpft or fully comp or Bennett’s £650 for tpft on a £3k scooter.

  • Does sound a bit excessive. Have you tried a quote for something like the SH300 to see how it compares. Maybe the Xmax has a bad rep. The SH300 is possibly a better scooter anyway, less macho but seriously well set up for city riding.
