 i was testing both again on mon/tues but got work  but do fancy the 400 more nicer drive out of the 2, just waiting for some better dealer prices, or get a 250 as there dropping in price 
i test drove the 250 in belgium last year and the old woman liked it so thats why im thinking of a change

Being a curry monster I shouldn`t need to explain!
The 400 seems to be the fav` when Iv`e spoken to folk.
What prices are you getting quoted Innocenti? i`m in no hurry but I would imagine dealers would like to shift a few scoots at this time of year

| The only issues with the 400 is poor storage space as its too shallow for a lot of helmets due to the engine sticking up higher, the drive system is lumpy and no where near as smooth as the 250... both have roughly the same top speed, just the 400 has better throttle response... |

Oooer...Brighton I remember all those clashes in years gone by, with deck chairs being passed gracefully to other members on `alternative` two wheels. Helping each other into and outta of bars and cafe` ...via the windows.
How times have changed eh?
All you have to worry about now is either getting the golden rivett, an iffy rash ,or if you score down there...is that tart you met at the bar actually female?
I just love brighton me like
