Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: johnp on June 24, 2009, 18:30:35 :o I'm suprised my Nexus is in the Top Ten.
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: Dave Milnes on June 24, 2009, 18:41:13 That's an owners poll John not MRA sales figures. I doubt any of those would feature in the sales figures, simply because of lack of availability even if there was demand.
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: johnp on June 25, 2009, 03:50:11 That would explain it then Dave, as the Nexus is as rear as rocking horse poo.
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: Dave Milnes on June 25, 2009, 07:21:50 Owners must like them enough to fill in a survey though. The X9 is notably absent.
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: spannerman on June 25, 2009, 07:43:51 Not much support for the 650 Burgman, size isn't everything.
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: DrChip on June 25, 2009, 10:51:11 size isn't everything. the boss keeps telling me the same thing Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: johnp on June 25, 2009, 13:46:59 I do love my Nexus and i've just spent a small fortune on it as things have started to wear on it and only 22,000 miles on the clock.
If they were more reliable i would buy another Piaggio/Gilera bike, but i think i'll buy a Honda next. Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: loonymoon on June 26, 2009, 15:25:27 I'm not at all surprised that the X8 400 is third, all the owner's I know are very, very satisfied with them. It's a great scoot and underrated (though perhaps not anymore!).
Still very happy with mine after 1 year and 6000 miles :D :thumbup: Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: julian on June 26, 2009, 21:19:47 Very dodgy results given the small number of X8 (only produced for about three years) and the small number of X8s that are the 400 model (almost none).
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: Dave Milnes on June 27, 2009, 18:16:33 Also it has to be noted it was MCN, hardy a widely read scooterists publication. More Crap than News isn't it's common acronym? :)
Clearly well below X9 owners standard or the X9 would have been Number 1! Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: mikbak on June 27, 2009, 18:45:51 Number 2 is good :lol:
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: Dave Milnes on June 27, 2009, 18:53:42 Nah! :)
Title: Re: Todays MCN top ten scooters Post by: hobart on July 01, 2009, 18:04:54 I had a Nexus as a loan bike after my crash last year. It went back to the loan company after one ride. Admittedly that was mostly due to the fact that it stalled 3 times in the space of a 3 mile journey to work, but it was so horrible to ride that I certainly didn't miss it.
