Which motorbike

[Jofang]

We're looking to buy a small, lightweight motorbike to fit into the MH garage. We need it to carry two up and shopping. Any suggestions welcome, as I'm out of touch with modern bikes.

A scooter like an Xmax. Loads of storage under the seat.

I ve asked you this before - Will it fit in a garage?

I quite like the X-max, have looked at them several times, could probably live with the 250 but don't see how I could get the height down enough? and I have a fairly tall garage. Ive currently got a Aprilia Sportcity 300, which does fit with room to spare, plenty of poke but the seats is a little bit short.

Be careful buying Peugeots, mostly made in China now.

I haven't tried one myself, but A Vespa GTS 300 is compact but powerful enough for two.

Suppose it depends on the garage size.

The Suzuki address 110 is always a winner.
98 kgs and if you put the double top box on the back it is difficult for persons behind you to realise its size.
I ve been stopped doing 70+MPH 2 up going downhill and farting on it. Got up every french mountain (slowly) and lives happily 2 up at 60mph

Put us 2 on an address and its going to struggle. 110cc and a small bike = back ache and a lot of walking up hills.

1280mm height. My Kettle will fit in it but its a bit of a rawl to get it back out

Don't know about the OP

First question is how much can this bike weigh? Is there a limit for garage, how much spare capacity on back axle or even gross weight of van.

We are 155-160 kgs and no struggle at all to hit 60 on the flat. even when loaded up with shopping. Certainly holds its own against 125 scooters.

690 or 790 duke with a top box proper bike. Carried both in our CI MIzar now use an easilifter on a smaller 3500 van.

 

[mofurt]

A bit hard fitting mine inside, although this is the big escort bike. No problem riding anywhere two up on this, though to avoid a trailer I'd really need a 7.5T truck conversion with tail lift. 330Kg of bike..
