integra 750 testride

[bikerdezzie]

Getting an hour on a white one today at my local Honda dealer, cant wait, first time on a scooter since my TMAX in 2011 and hoping its what I want someday when I have the money!

[MrGrumpy]

Don't forget to tell us how it felt! Is it a scooter or a bike? or neither or both??
The big question is....is it FUN????

[horobags]

its a scooterbike!!

[JohnR93]

its a scooterbike!!

Or a scooticle...

Such a shame it was a 750 though, it gobbles up all the space so there is no longer anywhere to store anything

I'm still not convinced anyone needs any more than 263cc TBH.... although the Vespa 300 still feels small and light with 300cc most feel a bit too heavy.

Well I enjoyed it, I felt it seemed to drag the clutch more at low speeds in race mode, D mode seemed better in town, was really surprised how fast it went when givin it the full throttle twist, noticibly faster than my souped up tmax, weighed a lot, screen was buffet, was like a heavy well balanced tourer and was smooth on bends, comfortable erm I liked it but when I got back I thought if I could have the engine note in a tmax I would have a tmax still, it just handles better on the tight stuff, felt lighter and slimmer, had more storage etc, so all in all I would have one if they gave them away or sorted out the practicalities more and of course I had any money, I didn't find the gears as smooth as the 700 x I took out last year maybe as its not quite run in yet, seemed a bit like a smart car with the feeling you wanted more from the gearbox, bit of a lag and seemed to slip the clutch over a long period of time until it was happy what gear it was in.

Still rather have a TMAX! but a nice scootbike all the same!

P.s I have come to the conclusion ideal bike would be a 3 or 400 cc scoot, I like the light flickability of a smaller scoot but with the oomph to get me 90 comfortably, so tmax is the biggest I feel I would ever need unless they brought a much faster lighter one out then that's different!

depends what you do and where you ride if you ride big miles at motorway speeds small is useless as i found out on the x10 they just cant cut the mustard at prolonged high speed

Yeah 300cc on the motorway with pillion would be no fun (not for me anyway but I'm a heavy lump).

I have to say guys that having done a couple of hundred miles on the Max today I am a convert to big engine scoots. Its such a smooth power delivery , 70 with hardly touching the throttle and the knowledge that there is so much more in reserve. The big engine and the auto box are a joy together and the engine braking through the twisties was heaven. So having spent ages saying 400 was the sweet spot, I have crossed to the other side. If like me you were not sure try a big engine you may be surprised how many of you want one afterwards.
