The Xciting is more sure footed because of the bigger wheels. The Grandvista is a little smaller in the Leg Area, But the Captain's seat pushes you more forward. The Engine is basically identical. However I'm 65 now and it's getting harder to Push the Xciting around the Garage. I've ordered a Motorcycle Dolly from Harbor Freight. Hope it makes it easier to move around. For years I backed my Car clear to the back of the garage and parked both bikes in front of the car. This year the Car is up to the garage door and the Xciting sits behind and the Grandvista is along the wall at the right front fender. I didn't mention, but I rigged up some small square blind spot mirrors and they are a great help
