Not the Silverwing; one of that vintage will be heavy on petrol.
If it were post 2008/9 I'd recommend it above the others. :)

so where does your friend live :?: i would not go for any at that price/milage as you tend to buy then have to spend again in near future and once owned and enjoyed the residual value wont be much :D
I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

there must be lower mileage scoots available, dont get me wrong but generally the dealer has his price on top, better to find a loved scoot from a genuine seller, and you have to factor whether they can service the scoot as well, otherwise there is more cost.

has he tried ebay spain http://www.ebay.es/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

None look an especially good deal, if limited to these three I'd offer 3000 for the Majesty, if not accepted then I'd look further afield. Aren't there any 300cc Sym or Kymco units in Spain.

Not ridden any of the 3 , but if the Yamaha had satisfactory performance ( not just engine ) it would be my choice . Price difference to the Honda would buy a lot of petrol though .
