87.2mpg. That's ok but not as good as I'd hoped it would be. But then we don't know how each others' route conditions compare, I guess.

The one I'm buying was showing 95mpg when I tried it - no idea how it's been ridden but probably at 'running in' speeds.
I loved the styling of those. Not everyone did. Definitely a "marmite," scooter.CreakyKnees99 wrote: Tue Jul 06, 2021 12:41 am I bought one. Love it. But to be honest it doesn’t seem that much different to my clapped out old x7 piaggio 250. Loved that too. Honda has a bit more oomph I suppose.
The dealer that bought mine from advised me to keep revs below 6000rpm until the first (600mile) service. I couldn’t corroborate this with the manual at the time but eventually found a comment in there that advises gentle use for the first 300 miles. I was surprised that modern kit needs running all to be honest. Giving it the beans now (900 miles) and I’ve seen just over 90mph on the clock (at my private testing grounds).Greyerbeard wrote: Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:21 amThe one I'm buying was showing 95mpg when I tried it - no idea how it's been ridden but probably at 'running in' speeds.
Of which there is zero mention in the handbook!
