Well I wonder if there will be a MXU700!

[skadamo]

Yeah, good question.  I would not be surprised.

I think this machine would be an instant hit in the United States.  So many people who would be more interested in scooters turn away because of what they consider to be "small" displacement engines.  Personally, I think the 250s are great.  The smaller the engine, the more economical it is... which is why many of us turn to scooters in the first place!  Nevermind the fact that we sometimes throw all that out the window and dive headfirst into performance modifications.

I've already mentioned to my dealer that they have to check if they can sell me one for next season. BTW, it is not so easy here, but this is definitely a piece I will add to my collection.
