The X500 is not the fastest, biggest, quickest, best cornering etc Maxi scooter in the world. But to me it does all of the above very well, if not the best all around maxi there is. And at a great price. It is one of the best touring bikes I have ever owned. (To me), the burger 650 is to big, heavy and costly, but the most comfortable maxi out of the box. The Honda silver wing set's you to close to the bars, and is not comfortable on touring rides. You can't slide back far enough, and cost way to much. The Yamaha T-max is the sport bike of the maxi's. But it is to tall, (can't put both feet down), & cost to much. I think the X500 is the best all arounder on the market, and you can't beat the price. I did not include any of the 400's because I do not feel they are powerfull enough to do REAL two up full-long day touring. Please remember, all I really do is tour. So this is where my perspective is comming from.
LET THE REBUTTALS COMMENCE!
