Scooter News X-MAX 250 The long awaited Yamaha X-MAX 250 might be coming to OZ.
Allen Drysdale The X-MAX 250 is a long awaited introduction from Yamaha. This hotly contested segment has a number of models that are all very capable units indeed. The Aprilia Sportcity 250 and the new Piaggio Beverley 250 will give the Yamaha some stiff competition but as yet pricing has not been released so we will wait to compare.
Like its X-CITY 250 cousin that was released in Milan last November the X-MAX 250 has all the attributes of being a true handy all rounder. Yamaha's little spiel says it all.....
You live in the city, you love living in the city, but getting stuck in traffic or let down by public transport can really take the fun out of the place. On an X-MAX 250, moving around town isn’t a hassle, it’s big-time entertainment.
X-MAX’s punchy four-stroke performance and compact, sporty chassis were created for the cut-and-thrust, to put a smile on your face when you’re carving through the grid lock or manoeuvring into a tight parking spot.
Your passenger will be smiling too because X-MAX features comfy seating for two andunderseat storage for two helmets.
