Compar-o a Couple of nice big scooters....

OK, so I don't speak French.
But these are some nice looking scooters.
Wish Peugeot offered their range of scooters here in the States. (shoot - wish Honda offered theirs as well)

The X-max looks nice...never cared much for Pugeot Scooters, always thought their designs were meh. 125 cc is kind of low for bikes that big. They could at least put a 150 in them. I agree about Honda's full lineup, I wish they could at least allow us the opportunity to own them, even if it cost a little more money to ship them to the US.

30 hp SAE 125 cc engine? OK. Scoots that big with 125? Not for me. Not after being spoiled on the DT! My first car was a Peugeot 403. 2600 pound car with a 60 hp engine. Did OK but had some strange stuff even for 1960!

They both were doing better than 70mph....
I don't need any faster. I know that is not popular....even for  s c o o t e r  riders.

Yep. 70 is well fast enough on 14” wheels. Wanna go faster? Get a mo’sickle!
