2008 Yamaha X City 250

We picked this one up because a good, honest maxi-scooter is one of the most useful things you can own in a city and the X City 250 is one of the best-kept secrets in the class. Yamaha built the X City 250 for people who want the ease of a twist-and-go without giving up comfort or presence. Bigger wheels than most scooters for a planted, confident ride, a relaxed upright seat, proper weather protection and enough poke to hold its own on faster roads all with useful storage tucked underneath. It came to us as a genuine, ready-to-ride machine, and we've made sure it's exactly that. Ideal for the daily commute, the college run, or anyone stepping into two wheels who wants zero fuss. Extras & highlights: Smooth, reliable 250cc liquid-cooled engine Big-wheel stability — far more composed than a small-wheel scooter Comfortable two-up seat with underseat storage Easy, automatic twist-and-go — a great step up from a 125 If you want a comfortable, capable scooter that just gets on with the job, come and take a look this kind of value in the 250 class doesn't hang around.
