2010 CFMoto Jetmax 250 Scooter

[seven of nine]

You pay for what you get. Most of the time, the cheaper one can do about 80+ % of what the Japanese or European scooters can do at half or one third the price. So it is up to you if you think if it is value for money.

Well I don't need auto folding mirrors, I don't need self opening fuel caps, I don't need 3 different transmission modes, I don't need a lever operated brake, a strut to hold up the seat, a security system that unlocks the bike on approach or the myriad of other niceties, gimmicks and extras to break that other more expensive bikes have.

I just need a bike that is mechanically sound, is comfortable to ride and at the right price and this seems to have ticked the boxes for me.

Edit - to be fair I took a newer 2013 Burgman 650 for a run on Friday just to make sure I wasn't suffering from confirmation bias, and yes, it was nice with some caveats.
I personally prefer the Jetmax with the extra $7000 in my pocket
