UFO Motorcycles had a used Portofino green LXV in the window a week or two ago. They are in St Peters Road, Huntingdon.
Dunno how much but might be worth a look. |

i know paul that owns the shop very good bloke would tell any local scooterist to go there for there mot's etc. i am not buying a new scoot it will be a secondhand one as it will work out cheaper after the £4k i have spent on my gts300 (and i wish i 'd kept me gts250 and not bought the 300) |

I've used them for my old Habana and my old Fazer 600. 
They are good.
The LXV was used.  |

i find the gts300 slower and i am getting roughly 88miles to the tank
the gts250 i could get around 103miles to the tank and considering i ride 200+ miles per week its costing me more to run |

The 300 is most definately heavier on fuel... but has more "oomph" than the 250 so its expected really...
Im still undecided if i was buying one, if it would be a 250 or 300...  |

I like the 300s torque, styling and wheels... not sure on the vents or colour scheme...
... I like the 250, nothing really not to like so i would probably end up with one too. |

its there so the local chavs can punture it so all the petrol spills out onto the floor.
i'm thinking of getting some mirror s/steel and getting small holes punched in and sticking behind the vents |
