Italy's motorcycle and scooter giant Piaggio, makers of the iconic Vespa, has released a new model to the Australian market. Replacing the successful Piaggio X7 250, the X7 Evo 300 is very much the evolution of the model in a sought after category.

Initial impressions suggest the significant boost in torque and the lowering of the rpm at which maximum horsepower is developed, is the only change. But by looking beyond this welcome and obvious change there is a host of other changes, all designed to ensure the evolution of the X7 into an even better scooter.

A revised front mudguard now hugs the wheel throughout its suspension travel. It provides better management of road grime and improves highway handling by reducing the amount of air that can slip under the guard. The result is improved stability. Other subtle changes abound including a new textured seat cover material, a reshaped seat to improve comfort for both rider and pillion, a top-box-ready rear carry rack and new colours (see below).

Piaggio's excellent Coded-key immobiliser system is now included on the new X7 Evo 300 and is designed to thwart petty thieves by allowing the scooter to operate only when the correct key is used and the correct code is detected. Additional security features include a steering lock, a security cable locking point and a large lockable under-seat storage space. A handy and spacious in-dash storage pocket with lid provides an ideal spot to throw your daily needs such as wallet, phone and sunnies.

MLP (manufacturers' list price not including on-road-costs) is $6990 which is unchanged from the previous X7 250 providing owners more at no extra cost. Colours include Rosso Antare (metallic red), Bianco Perla (white), Grigio Pulsar (silver) and Nero Cosmo (black).
