I went out on the SRX 3 times in the last couple of weeks. It feels good but totally different from the scooter (another thumper!). Manual v automatic.
Now I have my replacement hip and have had a few jaunts on the x-max I've decided that it is not really for me. The level of concentration needed to use the "clutch" lever as a rear brake means I'm constantly in a state of nervous tension and this will only get worse when I get back on the road with the Norton and swap from one to the other.
So, admirable machine though the Yamaha is, I feel it's time for it to go. I'm taking it for its MoT tomorrow which I have no doub it will pass. Antone know someone looking for a very nice condition 2008 x-max 250? I'd like to get my money back byut all serious offers considered.
