height 10mm taller on the 300??? doubt it |
I make it 290mm longer! has anyone measured yet?  7 kilo heavier so it could have an extended wheelbase perhaps? |
......indeed you are right 290mm longer!!! what a crock of sh*t! you'd think they'd pay more attention to getting stuff like this right, no way is a 300 almost a foot longer than a 250!!! my guess is, having seen them side by side they are......identical in length

Avoid Leicester Piaggio. I paid for a full service, and got no where near.
Belt on the wrong way round, rollers in the wrong way, and they didn't inspect the brakes at all. Nor did they tell me about the leaking drive seal.
