I have to agree with gn2, the xmax is quite heavy, when I swapped my Cygnus x (116 kg) it was a bit hard to manoeuvre by hand. If you want something just to get around town a nice light weight scooter will keep a smile on your face, what about an auto vespa? :)

Its not just weight, its how high the weight is. The small Burgman was moderately light, but felt very light as the weight was low down. The Big Burgman feels several tons lighter than a Honda Pan European, but the Pan feels far heavier as the weight is up high. The Bev 350 isn't that heavy, but its weight is quite high, so feels heavier than it is

As GN2 said, the S-Wing is not the lightest 125.

Plus the maxi shape probably also has wider floor boards which might not be so good if it is your knees that are feeling the weight....or not

this is my take on the matter... i would go for the below... new model... stylish.... 100mpg+.... fuel injected.. 70ish mph easy to climb on .. no more throwing your leg over :lol: ps i find it hard to do this now on the nexus :? easy to push around the garden with bigger wheels around 124+kg so go for it our kid.. test ride that is.. buying new will give you great trade in..

are you ready.....

I know you say (in your Profile) don't be nosey, but where is 'round here'?
Just the town or general area might help if someone was interested in your Xevo.
