My first ever scooter :) Honda 102 Lead

Post by Bethie »

Only been on the road a week, passed my CBT just under a month ago.
I love my little scooter, she runs well. Max speed 52mph on flat (generally stays around 45 though), comes close to 60 downhill :P

Passed her MOT 1st Sept with no advisorys, never had any her full history. Was ridden only 88 miles in the past 3 years so was given a brand new battery upon sale aswell :D

And here is a picture after a 100+mile round trip I took to hunstanton bike show. Was so proud of my first proper go on the road :D

All in all, I can not fault the Honda Lead for a first time scooter. Not bad at £500!

I'm doing well with her, i'm very self aware on the roads and I do my best when it comes to protective clothing. Not like the half face helmet flip flop wearers that are around my parts... *cringe*

Looking good and excellent value too. ;)

Maybe a bit early to talk technical, but when your scoot needs new rollers take a look at these. They offer a useful little improvement in acceleration and may help your restricted top speed, I'm not suggesting you start messing about with the scoot for "performance upgrades" but these are a sensible option for the standard item.

Iv got a quilted textile jacket with armour, with enough room to put a hoodie on under it. My gloves however turned out to be a piece of crap, so i'l need to get them sorted when I can, but they will hold up for now.

I'm not interested in a screen but cheers anyway :) Iv changed the topbox to a 42 litre... y'know... for tesco trips :P
