Thanks for such an informative review,I contacted the importer with a view to a test ride(its a house about 10miles from my place) but they pointed me in the general direction of some scooter shop in town(that sucks) Choices,,here there are loads of choice,,infact I am thinking I have 3 choices,, this will make you laugh,,,1st Cf moto jet max its frugal ,good weather protection,good storeage,good in for commuting to work,,,2nd My mate has just bought a really nice Honda Africe Twin for just a few hundread more then a jetmax,,and I also fancy one of those,of course it will be a few years old and been to Hell and back,but its an awsome bike,,,3rd I have my old 1975 Gold wing,its a great bike,except in London,and MPG is between 30-35 a gallon(not good) ..Another thing here.Riding chinese you have to put up with remarks about where the bike has come from(China)people can be quite racist about Chinese things,and if the bike(scooter) proved a lemon I would have a lot to live down,,you are not alone in fancing a 500cc version,,(nothing beats cubes),,,,,Last thing the right bloke won the japan F1,,hopfully next year he,ll win the championship...All the best
