Piaggio Hexagon 250
The Piaggio Hexagon 250 was introduced in 1994 as part of Piaggio's Hexagon scooter family, which debuted in 1993 with smaller displacements. It was notable for its large-wheel, maxi-scooter design featuring a distinctive hexagonal-themed bodywork and was one of the first large-displacement scooters to offer significant touring capability. The Hexagon 250 helped define the growing maxi-scooter segment in Europe during the mid-to-late 1990s before being discontinued around 1999-2000.

What Buyers Should Know
Rotax Engine Reliability
The Hexagon 250 uses a Rotax-sourced 2-stroke engine, known for strong performance but requiring diligent oil injection system maintenance. Neglected oil injection can lead to seized engines, so always verify this system is functioning correctly before buying.
Watch the Carburettor
Carburetor jetting issues and clogging are among the most commonly reported problems on aging Hexagon 250s, especially on bikes that have sat unused. Budget for a carb clean or rebuild as part of your purchase inspection.
Low Resale Value
The Hexagon 250 holds relatively low resale value today due to its age and the declining popularity of 2-stroke scooters in many markets. This makes it a budget-friendly buy, but parts availability is increasingly limited, which can affect long-term ownership costs.
