Piaggio Hexagon 250 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Hexagon 250 is one of those scoots that punches above its class when everything's working right. That GT-style bodywork still looks purposeful, the under-seat storage swallows a full-face helmet, and the Rotax-derived engine pulls cleanly from low revs without fuss. For longer commutes or light touring duties, it genuinely earns its keep. Here's the honest bit though — these things are getting old now, and Italian electrical gremlins are real. Carb models can be finicky cold-starting until you've rejetted or cleaned the float bowl. Finding specialist knowledge at your local shop is increasingly hit-or-miss. Any used example needs a thorough inspection: check the variator rollers, rear monoshock condition, and make sure the cooling fan kicks in properly. Neglected ones become money pits fast. Buy a clean, documented example with recent belt and roller service and you've got a genuinely capable, characterful machine. Buy the cheap tatty one to save a grand and you'll spend twice that learning your lesson.
