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.

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.

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. :roll:

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.

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.

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!).

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... :kiss:

When I was younger I never had a bike longer than 18 months. Now (many years later :shock: ) 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 :P ).

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