Had my original X9 500 Evo from new in March 2004 and no plans to change it yet.
My second 500 I bought as a project bike last August and so far no plans to change that yet either.
Along side the first X9 I have had a Black Max which I had for over 3 years and a Nexus I had for just a year. Didn't like either enough to replace with the same again. Haven't liked anything from Piaggio group since the X9 was discontinued but the X10 is looking interesting.

Re: Length of Ownership
I've had my xmax 125 for two years now, before that I had a Cygnus x, from time to time I ponder on getting a burger 400 or Maj 400... Or a new xmax 250, but the 125 is probably all I need really.

Re: Length of Ownership
Started off with a new Suzuki Bandit 650, had that for about 18 months. Next up was a used Burgman 400, had that for about a year, brilliant scoot, but fell for the next bike!!. Which was a new Triumph Bonneville, kept that for 18 months, decided that I didn't really use it much,so time for a change! Replaced with a new Honda PCX, kept that for 12 months, wanted something bigger, now got my SYM GTS 300, had that 5 months and still loving it, although do like the look of the new one, but will stick with the current one for a while at least. 
enjoy eXtra to the Max

Piaggio Liberty 125: 2005 - now
I'll swap when it goes badly wrong, or maybe if the NC700s drop in price end of this year.

Re: Length of Ownership
I think you wait in vain, the way they've been received and selling (especially to courier firms) I suspect the likely price move will be up rather than down. Though of course you'll start to potentially be able to pick up lightly-used year old models if people decide to sell.Zed wrote:Piaggio Liberty 125: 2005 - now

Re: Length of Ownership
After riding motorbikes most of my life, and then 'discovering' maxi scooters in 2009, I've had an MP3 250 for a couple of years,
then changed that for an Xevo 400 for the last year and a half. At the moment, seriously considering an X10 350, which should do me for the forseeable future (though I'm sure I've said those words many times before!).

Re: Length of Ownership
Yeah thats what i sorta meant: people buying them on the idea, not liking it and wanting riddance. Or perpetual swappers like Horobags and half the forum...poldark wrote:I think you wait in vain, the way they've been received and selling (especially to courier firms) I suspect the likely price move will be up rather than down.

Re: Length of Ownership
When I was younger I never had a bike longer than 18 months. Now (many years later
) I have had the XEvo for nearly two and a half years and no sign of wanting to change it yet... (unless the right T100 came along
).

Re: Length of Ownership
Had my Burgman 400 since October 2011. Plan to keep for around three years or until something else tempts me.
