Hi everyone

Post by rayb »

I've made a recent return to two wheels at the age of 68. I've got a Honda Innova that I love riding and serves its purpose for 90% of the time. For the other 10%, I could do with a bit more speed, overtaking tractors etc. I'm a short-@rse, so don't want anything big and heavy. My wife is disabled, so if she goes on the back, it needs to be step-through and I'm therefore seriously considering an SH300. It seems to tick most of the boxes.

I'm hoping I'll pick up some good ideas here.

SH... or maybe the Forza 300 I think is a little lower, smaller wheels, more feet forward, but does have a bit of a 'tunnel' rather than the flat floor of the SH...

Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't want a seat much higher than my Innova, so I need to try the SH300. The Forza might be a bit heavy. The GTS300 is another option, there's a nice one local to me but it's green.

Welcome Rayb.
The Innova's a good little bike but as you say, a little low on power. The SH300 is a great bike from all accounts.
