Re: My scooter has been stolen
once you get your head round the step through seating position of the SH300, I honestly think they are the best in their class, exellent comuters and fantastic fun when you want to hustle them. Even two up they are very capable.

Back on track. Any luck yet?Burgman1958 wrote: Tue Aug 14, 2018 1:30 am I have had an offer of £4200 minus my excess of £300 (not £800 as I thought - don't know where I got that figure from.) I have found one on the net for £4999. OK so it's a dealer sale and lower mileage than mine (6200 as against 9300) but it is a 2016, mine being a 2017. I have replied to their offer with a link. worth a try.

Re: My scooter has been stolen
I sat on a new Forza when it first arrived, the riding position just didnt suit me, felt like I was sitting in a deck chair. Just my opinion.

Well, that sounds kind of nice! I found the SH to be little short of torture, personally.horobags wrote: Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:01 am I sat on a new Forza when it first arrived, felt like I was sitting in a deck chair.

Re: My scooter has been stolen
Just accepted their offer of £4200 minus £300 excess. The money will be with me in a few days.
Though I was seriously tempted by a nearly new Silverwing I have decided to have another Maxsym. I liked my last one so much I will have the same again. The only question now is whether to order it as soon as I have the money or wait till 1st September (actually 8th after I come back from holiday) and have the new 68 plate. I'm not particularly bothered, but the later plate may affect the resale value. Though I tend to keep my bikes for a long time (5 years has been the norm) so it may not make much difference. Plus I want to get on with the business of running it in before the summer finally fizzles out.

Yeah it was a fair offer. Good luck with the decision and enjoy the new scoot.
