Hello from Scotland

Post by spaglemon »

Hi, Just registered, currently my wife and I both have bikes, I have a CB1000 and my wife has a 600 Hornet which she's looking to downsize to a scooter for lots of reasons, the last scooter we had was a Honda Bali many, many years ago and I'd imagine they've moved on somewhat so will be posting looking for advice on which model to go for.

Thanks

Non taken
Just wasn't sure if you knew that scooters go up to 850cc these days, with performance to match
Now I understand she wants something smaller

Had no idea you could get an 850cc scooter now :shock:
