Maybe Dr Pulleys will add some pep and keep you on it for another year until the TMax bug really hits again. Only thing I didn't like was rather cramped foot space, but I guess you're not bothered by this?

No, don't even think about it, which after a Tmax I was quite surprised at, especially as i'm over 6ft tall too.

It rather bothered me in when I had one, and I'm only very average in size - even the Bev is roomier and that's physically no bigger than the SH. The amount of performance of the SH, even in standard form, was the (only) thing I really liked about it.

People often level a few criticisms at the Sh like cramped and ugly etc but its just a work tool to me and it does exactly what it says on the tin and equally as important, reliably too.

I used to have a Leonardo 250 which was a bigger scoot but the bars used to hit my legs on full lock. Interestingly enough the 125/150 didnt as they have a higher bar height!

I've been thinking about what to replace the SH300 with as I cant expect it to go on forever. My immediate thoughts are Tmax as I love 'em but then I keep thinking I should try something else, maybe a auto NC700 in one guise or another, but not sure I cba to go back to chains again? Dont think i'll bother with Italian agin, so maybe look at a Forza when the time comes? If I do stay with scoots i'll ask for a list of candidates you all think suitable. Wouldn't surprise me if I didnt get another Sh and keep the old one for back up/spares though? :roll: :D

I've got to agree with that plus, the Chavs don't want to nick 'em - too uncool! :lol:
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!
