What does the group really feel a 'maxi scooter' really is ?

I had heard the Helix 250 was the first of the maxi class, yet now wonder if the Burgman AN400 might be better qualified as a maxi ??
redk

My own personal opinion (as there seems to be no clear definition) would be a scooter that has the ability to go above and beyond just cutting around a city or commuting to work

Oh thats not good news. You are the first to have experienced problems, the IT guy has been tweeking parts of the forum so possibly clashed with while he was in doing maintenance?

Im in! (But I only have a 250cc Honda Helix, the original maxi-scooter)

I will add a section for the 250 helix

Ok I can arrange that

DONE

I would love to have a blast on a 700!!! I can only imagine how torquey they are
Anyway, on a slightly linked topic please fell free to have a look at a MAXI-SCOOTER specific forum I`m developing with a friend.
I thought it would be a cool idea to have a place for all the bigger variant owners to compare ideas across different manufacturers.
Anyway, even if you dont post on there, please feel free to register

Many thanks

I take 32" waist x 30" so if thats my seam then I`m 30"  my height is 5` 6"
Its fine as far as leg room goes and you get the option to have your feet horizontal like on a normal scooter but also stretched out in front of you on the 45 degree foot rests (like on a harley Davison) which is where I have them most of the time as its mega comfy and also spreads out the weight pushing onto the seat as the backs of your upper legs get support also. This in turn then eases and strain on your lower back, however the lower back is also supported as it has a small backrest
The scooter weighs 200kg but you only feel the weight when its stopped

ITs only 3 weeks old and so far I`m amazed with it!!!!!
It looks really modern and aggressive lines etc (IMO)
The power, power delivery and torque are mind blowing for something that weighs in at 200kg!
With a top box and side panniers plus the huge space under the seat, the touring options are endless.
Its really comfy, even going 3 hours without a stop.
Its handles really well for a big scooter (admittedly not when fully loaded)
My only negative is that its very tall but for no obvious reason as ground clearance is no better than my super 8 150
