Re: bigger scooter
Yeh, I know what you mean. That's half the fun for me, it catches everyone by surprise.
Isn't it nice when things just work?

That was its saving grace....doing (indicated) 90 on the outside lane of a dual carriageway on what looks like a pizza delivery moped!floridafil wrote:Yeh, I know what you mean. That's half the fun for me, it catches everyone by surprise.

Re: bigger scooter
Personally I probably could have just about lived with the fugly looks of the SH300, there is even something perversely attractive about it, as mentioned, in that a bike which looks like it was designed for a pizza jockey is actually completely different. But it was the lack of storage space I found the most negative feature, unable to hold a helmet. That's why they supply it with a top box as standard but I hate the look of top boxes. It certainly goes very well though, can't fault it there. But so does my Bev.

Re: bigger scooter
I bet you'd see one in a different light if you rode one. Failing that I had a Aprilia Sport City 250. Sold now but the thread is still there with some pictures of it. http://www.maxi-muppets.co.uk/forum/vie ... 20&t=13009" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;ridinhigh wrote:ive washed my mouth out, so now i,ll repeat its horrible looks like a cheap and nasty moped,
in fact most of the scooters speedfights vespa,s NRG even the Zip look a lot nicer than the SH300,
big honda,s yes but not that, thing sooner have a honda 90
