Piaggio X8 250 - From £3249.00
X8 250cc
The new 250cc version Originally launched in November 2003 in 125 and 200cc versions, the Piaggio X8 has been a runaway success with over 30,000 units sold. Piaggio's compact GT range now includes the 250cc instead of the 200cc. The new Quasar 250 with electronic injection is a four-stroke, four-valve liquid cooled unit that meets Euro3 standards. The advanced closed loop injection with a Lambda sensor, three-way catalytic converter and electronic ignition system control, considerably reduces emissions and fuel consumption and provides immediate throttle response. The Piaggio X8 250 is fun to ride, quick off the mark in town traffic and comfortable with mid-range touring. The new Quasar i.e. series is the result of the Piaggio engine division's commitment to create a top quality, environment-friendly engine.
