you'll love it...i swapped my bandit 600 for a honda dylan 125,and couldn't believe how much fun i was having. an had quite a few scooters now ,the only thing i had to get used to wasn't the clutch/brake it was my foot wanted to change gear...lmao...strange but true. ..but now after few years on scooters i don't think i could ever go back to geared bikes again unless as a second bike ( always fancied a supermoto)

Just spent 2hrs in the saddle riding my new scoot back home and cant believe I prefer this over my last geared bike.

Sorry just another quick question when starting should the bike always be on the centre stand ?

It should. But my guess is that there are a lot of us here who just flip up the side stand and hit the button.

I thought the same but the owners manual for my Gilera says to start it on the centre stand.

Well, yes. You should. Whether you do or not is another question.

I start it when im sitting on it off the stands!

If you are sitting on it ready to ride you can safely start it with the centre stand up.
If it's an auto:
If you are not sitting on it don't have it running unless its on the centre stand.
Always switch off before you get off.
