Hi there!

Post by Derek1952 »

This is a second time I have joined as I have just bought a new scooter after having had a motorcycle last time. Got fed up of having to change gear so many times, who thought a six speed gearbox was a good idea?

Welcome back, your spot on with the gear changes, my Deauville has 5, but they got it a bit wrong, top gear is a bit low for motorway use, the very slight movement in changing gear effects my knee joint, so I brought a Burgman 400, and use that most of the time, especially on longer touring rides.
