I guess only 6 to 8 people have the 250

Richard, the xciting 250 weighs in at just over 400lbs. I believe the weight of the bike to motor power is a little off. I have the 500 and even that is kind of needing a tad more power. I am happy with its acceleration on the highway as it produces a good amount of passing power over 35mph.

So if next spring I want to get a bike that is not too heavy to handle during slow maneuvering or parking, yet be a highway bike (cruise at 70-75), I should stay away from the exciting.  Maybe the people 300?

It'll cruise happpily at 70-75 with no issues (Xciting 500). I would prefer it get there as fast as an 1100cc version 
I had mine at 80 with my wife last Friday night for a good 10 minute stint to test the acceleration on the freeway. Overall, I am impressed. Like anything, we humans always want more. I guess once you settle in on something, you realize "I shoulda' gotten the bigger one!"

I've GPS confirmed my speeds which are about 10% less then what the speedo reads.  I've found my 250 will cruise 60 mph all day long just fine and be able to keep the RPM's safely below redline.  At 65 mph the RPM's start to flirt with the redline. 70 mph and you are around 8000 RPM's.  I found I still had a bit more throttle left but didn't want to keep pushing it in the red.  This is my first scoot or motorcycle and like many I found it to be great to start on but having the 500 with a bit more power for the freeway now would be nice.  I'll probably end up buying something with more power after I've worn out my 250.  I originally bought it for commuting and the speeds and distance I travel the 250 is actually perfect.  Also most of the freeways around here are 60 mph speed limit and the sections that are 70 I just go around 65 mph, surprisingly there are lots of cars that drive these speeds too. (I never knew since I was always blowing past them in my car  )

BTW, it seems there are only 6 or 8 Yager guys too.  It sure feels lonesome.  Whenever I come on, I read the unread posts.  No sense going to the Yager page.
