Hi all I have a 2012 SH 300i and have done 7500 miles and enjoyed them all but I have the usual grips about it ie storage and style it is no looker for sure , But I like the way it rides and goes . I am thinking about a new Burg after Christmas what do you think ?

from Motech Byker
RRP 5290
Brand new on the road 5000 including heated grips and ACF 50 treatment
It is awesome! The weather protection is brilliant. Did 200 miles from Byker over the top to Alston Penrith Appleby to Hartlepool.
The roads threw everything at it. Ice mile after mile of wet leaves and horsemuck as well as normal wet greasy roads. Never moved an inch , The traction control is awesome. Almost 80 mpg. Cannot fault it!
Cannot wait to take it out again I am the original kid with a new toy!
Regards
Barry

What's its main use going to be? The SH is much more manoeuvrable in traffic.
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

Ive had a sh300 and a burger 400, the burger has better storage, weather protection,comfort on long runs, but if I had a choice of either, the sh wins hands down, so much fun to ride, it has character, which you dont get in most scoots these days.
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.

Re: Honda SH 300i VS Burgman 400 abs
I think they are two different types of Scoot.
The Burgman-style is a sit in - generally a lower seating position - and the SH-style is a sit on - generally a higher seating position. Like Mister Horobags and Mister Road Runner have suggested the sit on type handle differently, they appear to have more character - they're more 'flickable' - especially with 16" wheels. This is great for zipping in and out of traffic. However you're not as protected from the elements or as comfortable over distances as the laid back feet-first-edness of the Burgman-style sit ins...

If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.
