Piaggio X10 Cafe 2013

[fyzzbone]

500 version for showroom is already arrived at ADH. Main batch will arrived most probably around August if I'm not mistaken. I'm thinking of getting the 350, but before that any other reviews from our x10 friends?

[truebiker]

Haha...this thread is rather quiet as none of the owners give reviews on this bike.

On the positive side, that means this bike is really awesome as there's nothing much to complain

unlike the other threads.

Would be near perfect if not for the missing of passenger backrest

as the underseat storage @ 52L is sufficient for me.

i'm waiting for the pearl white shippment to arrive in aug...

Hi juz want to know if anyone is riding the new piaggio x10? Would like to know more about this bike.

 

Have anyone ride Piaggio x10 125? I tht of getting the bike becos I only have class 2b. Any suggestion?

I need more information. Tks

[truebiker]

My advise is to get a 200cc scooter...this bike @200kg is too heavy for 125cc.

U can try Heng motor along upper changi rd, they hv one there.

Look for ken, might let u test ride if really keen buyer.

Hope the above are of help to u...

[derek]

In current market, I think only Gts 200. Not much choice... Of bike in 200. Need more space... Any

Advice?

[derek]

So what bike u ridding?

[truebiker]

still looking around...undecided between gilera runner or X10 350.

Was hoping coe to come down but it shoot up...haiz.

Saw the new batch of white runner very nicely done up with sporty design stickers overflowing to the seat.

u might like it...

[derek]

Hmmm.... I feel gilera runner is abit small, I look big size so it will like a bicycle when I sit on it... Today went to see

bike still like x10 design.... Maybe will wait for get more review or look around... Too limited of choice ..... Dun u think x10 design look great compare to other bike? The more I look and compare, the

More confuse I get ..... Sign

[truebiker]

True...i also like this bike cos the design and specs are very original,

parts are all test proven.

While the 350 engine is also newly intro to the market..

Overall build and trims are also solid and classy.

 

I'm waiting for the pearl white shippment (exclusive for the 350i) to arrive before i make my choice.

 

For u..alittle headache as power to weight ratio for the 125cc is not highly recommended.

Maybe u shld consider taking a class 2A if u really want to own this bike...for long term riding pleasure

Edited March 16, 2013 by truebiker
wrong words used

[derek]

Hmm... I did take class 2A but give up half way... No been ridding for many years. Now want a transport

From point a to b. I'm not too much on power, I dun really speed jus worry when I need the speed to overtake car or car tailgate me which I dun like I need the speed to move faster. What I worry is when on

steep slop which no enough power to move up, will that happen when carry one more person, that is my

concern?

[derek]

To me as long the bike can reach 110 with two person I think that is enough. What u think?

[derek]

I dun know how good is the brand piaggio, does its give problem? I tht bike from Europe is always

powerful, slow in pick up but fast in long distance especially smooth ridding, I dun know is my concept right?

[truebiker]

i think u need a class 2A bike to solve all yr needs & wants.

Piaggio is reliable...u dun see much complaints or bad reviews unlike other brands.

 

The 350i is an 330cc engine

with good power to weight ratio...the pick up is far superior than others of the same class with 400cc.

The only limitation is speed cut of 140km/hr not so ideal for those travelling ns highway to KL/thai.

But how often would u go on such trips ???

 

Todate...i hv not seen any better bike in the local market.

Our choice are really limited...indeed.

[derek]

Hmmm..... Can I check with you, I have not been ridding for years, is I brought x10 125, maybe after

6 month, I go for 2a and then upgrade to 330 will I lost a lot when I trade in my bike?

[derek]

Many motors shop keep saying under power. Dun understand y?

[truebiker]

definetly u will lose a big chunk of $....

if yr bike is fully paid, not easy to find buyer with full hard cash to buy over yr bike.

Furthermore interest rate for used bike loan starts @ 10%...do the sums, they might well get a brand new one.

 

It's common for bikes to remain unsold for few mths...in the end, trade in to bike shop at even lower price.

[truebiker]

Definetly underpower cos the 125cc engine produce only 15hp is pulling a 187kg bike

while the 330cc engine produce 33hp pulls a 200kg bike.

U see the huge diff in power to weight ratio...

 

i would suggest get a used 200cc scooter for short term ride if necessary while taking the class 2A.

Save up for the new bike...

[derek]

I also have that thinking... Hope my heart can resist the beauty.... To let go the bike first... Thanks for you advise...

[derek]

It's seem like piaggio x10 is not very popular in here... Hmm... Not much comments ... Maybe the price to exp.... Smile

[truebiker]

Popular does not equal to good.

 

This bike excludes class of its own...

Price is not ex for such specs & build quality.

[derek]

Jus feel that not much people talking about Piaggio x10... in here compare to other brands

[truebiker]

Haha...what do u want to talk ???

All accessories are originally built to fit in nicely...dun need to diy and copycat.

Service interval is also much longer than other bikes

engine oil change @ 10,000km while others @ 5,000km

belt change @ 20,000km while others 12,000km

Price is not the cheapest but also not the most expensive.

 

This is a underrated bike..owners should feel proud of it.

[topgearalwaysrock]

When the 500cc version coming in again??

[truebiker]

No idea...soonest could be by year end.

ADH hv a display bike there..can check with them.

[topgearalwaysrock]

The 125, 330 and 500cc all look the same leh. Haha
