Well, I have loved my 08 Xciting 250! I had riden a burgman 650 several years ago and loved the extra power. I do feel the Xciting handles better
The bumble bee tail on the Xciting and my wife's legs did not agree and my wife's legs won. Hence the trade to the burgman. We will be able to do more riding together
Thanks for all the info I have gotten from you. You are a great bunch of riders. Time will tell, but I really loved the Xciting. I really wanted to go to a Xciting 500 and on the dealers had a used one in the
fast red
But again, my wife's legs won out.
Oh, I will not miss the valve adjustments/checks on the 250! Not at all hard to do, execpt for the body panel removals. There should be a easier way to get to them! In three years I have put 16,000 miles on. Other than routine maintenance, tires, belt and rollers all is has been fine with the Xciting!
Good luck and ride safe!
