Piaggio X8

Piaggio X8

The Piaggio X8 is an Italian-made motor scooter, released in 2006 and available in 125 cc, 250 cc and 400 engine sizes.

X8 250 cc

Now with a fuel injected quasar that meets new Euro 3 European emission standards. Brand new, this model will cost £3,200.00 in the United Kingdom and comes with as a windscreen, a remote central locking style key that opens the front and rear storage compartments without having to put the key in the ignition and finally a very large underseat storage space which is big enough to take two full-face helmets (depending on the style of helmet).

The engine produces convert|22|bhp|kW, which can give the bike of a safe top end speed of convert|90|mph|km/h not convert|78|mph|km/h that is stated in the factory hand book. The bike has an automatic twist and go transmission so there is no manual clutch/gears. This bike can be ridden on a United Kingdom 2 year restriction licence.

Problems

Although the fuel injected 250 cc engine gives a smooth ride the fuel economy is lower than average. For example a full 2.42 gallon (11 litres) tank will take you a total of convert|125|mi|km before it needs to be refilled. This is a mileage figure of 51.7 miles per gallon (5.46 l/100km).

The speedometer in miles per hour is hard to read, as the main speed dial and odometer is in kilometres . Piaggio do not offer an option to change the main gauges from km/h to mph.
