WOW. I do like the X8. It is only available in Black and Silver. Not my favorite colours [and not too safe either!]. So, before delivery I had it repainted in a wonderful RED.
Looks so much better, if only I would wash it once in a while

Well, as agreed with Simon, washing removes the grease and lubrication – so I do not wash it.

The old X9 (silver) sold for an undisclosed price PLUS two cases of beer [which is already consumed].
Actually, the X9 really improved dramatically after Nani gave it a tune-up and changed the filters. There was no real need to sell it – except that I wanted a new one.

I decided to get a scooter instead of a motorcycle. I think it was a smart choice since the traffic in Manila requires FREQUENT changes of speed. The imported PIAGGIO has been a good choice. Since it is over 400cc it is permitted on the Expressway – which can be useful.
