Well it make sence that the 250 will be faster
Just i asked someone who sell scooters and he said they both speed are alike since they have same speed dram or something like that.
Is it true or bullsh**?
Thanks always

Bullsh**.
I had the Grand Dink (or Grand Vista) 250 who was rated with 14.4kW and 125kph (had comprehensible 123.x kph on the GPS even after +30000km).
Not even the Kymco Downtown 125i can compete with that.
The New Dink (Yager GT) 125 has 8.7kW and has a hard time to reach (true) 100kph.

Of course it would be possible to implement the same tranny so that the engines max. rpm would make the top speed. But Kymco didn't make this nonsense.

10q  very much
Now i got my answer and i know which one to take.
1 last thing is the grand dink stable on high road if i drive in like 125 kmh will it be stable and not move from side to side like in the 125 scooters? Is it more or less stable then the joyrides/joymaxes?
regards

It is not very stable with its small (12") wheels and flat footboard (disadvantageous framework), esp. in turbulences (truck in front or wind gusts), some 125cc like the Downtown or Satelis are better.
But you don't need a full lane, just more minor corrections than with a dedicated touring scooter.

I tried an used Burgman 400 with 13" (now 14"). Was better on the highway than the GD.
Can't say anything about the smaller Burgis, they have a different framework too.
You should try different scooters yourself. How much stability you need and how much handiness.

I just traded in my grand vista (dink) for a xciting 500 this summer.... and the differance was night and day!! even the buffeting on the xciting was soooo much less (even with the lower stock windsheild) I could not believe it! Rides nicer and the seat feels soooo much nicer you will be able to ride 10 times longer (unless you put the captains seat on the grand vista.... that is a nice seat, but it would of put me way to close to the front of the bike (hitting knees all the time)

I would think the xciting 250 would have a nice ride too just not as fast.... can't say for sure as I did not ride that as most of my riding is on highways.
