·I've been a lurker on this forum for several months...great info and even better report...a very giving group of folks.
I currently ride a Scarabeo 150 which quite honestly fills my cross town driving needs to a "T". I would like to expand my reach to include a bit more freeway capability as well as get over some of the insecurity I have regarding Aprilia's future support.
I'm a short guy...28' inseam, and the physical size of the 400 seems perfect
for me. The power range is absolutely bang on for 95% of my anticipated needs. A "no brainer" one might say with but one exception.. Next summer two possible trips have materialized...one a Denver to Seattle venture...and the other a Denver to New York trip. Neither of these is "necessary" and a plane could be taken, but I am hungry to duplicate some MC adventures of my younger days (I'm now 56), and on the Seatlle trip would need to keep up with a couple of Harley guys.
Could the 400 accomodate these cross country trips??...right tool for the job would indicate a 650, but after these exceptions, the 400 would really be the more appropriate decsion....I suppose I could just pass the long trips up but
at my age this doesn't seem wise...today I can do it....10 years from now who knows....
