PX Alternative

[twotone]

I wanted to buy a nice PX200, but they seem a bit thin on the ground. But there is a dealer nearish to me (Bristol) that sells T5's and LML Star's. Now I don't know anything about these being an ex Lammie man, but what do you all think? I can get a band new LML and have it specced up to PX200 standard. ie 200 motor, disc brake etc. Even choice of colour. It'll never be a PX200 I know, but is it the next best thing, or should I leave well alone and just wait for the right PX to come along? All advice greatly appreciated.

LMLs are fine if you take them for exactly what they are, which is a cheap Vespa copy. I'm sure there's lots of loyal LML owners out there that'll stick up for them, but before I bought one, there'd always be one phrase ringing in my ears (before I could hear its tinny engine ringing in my ears): "Buy cheap - buy twice".

T5s are great, and I know I'll get support on this one from other forum members. If you're going to buy a scooter and get it kitted up, and your choice is either an LML or a T5, for me it's no contest.

I'd not go LML personally, unless you really dont want to spend much... go for T5 or P200, in fact, you buy my T5 and I'll change to a P200, sorted! ;D
