| Hello.nice to be here. I'm Paul a Scotsman living on the Costa del sol Southern Spain. I drive a Piaggio x9evo 200 and im looking to upgrade and i fancy a wing 600 I'm going to buy secondhand and spend around 2000euros IV been told that it will have to be a older model for around that price. Now my first question is what's the best year. IV been advised that a 2002-03 low milage 600 is the best model to go for?? What do you think? Thanks Paul |

| They are all pretty much the same, except that in, about '08, Honda added an O2 sensor to the exhaust. That supposedly improved the fuel economy a bit. So go for the best price you can get.

| I would look for one with ABS brakes. I wish I had. The o2 sensor improves you MPG from 5 to 10 miles per gallon US. |

| Ditto WingMan02. Hold out for ABS. My 02011 is averaging 54mpg on a recent 2 tank sample. Cosmic_Jumper said an 08 or newer, Ill ditto that too. However this works out enjoy the ride! |
