Good Review!

I thought that Honda had sorted the storage issues with the new model....I guess the publicity photos must have used child-sized helmets if a normal sized Arai won't fit!

That smart key system looks unnecessarily fiddly...

I have a sh300 2016 model and the review is not totally acurate ,I have a large size Kabuto
helmet and it fits under the seat with ease,don't understand why his doesn't maybe he tried it in wrong way or upside down?Why does he keeps pressing the buttons on the fob ,you just keep it in your pocket ,the scooter looks itself when you get two metres away anyway,you also can't look the key in the seat which is a bonus,also mpg they state 51.2 mpg I've reset mine loads of time and it always goes up above 90mpg average the best I had is 95.6 mpg ,I get around 160 to a tank before I fill up and the can only squeeze 7 litres in .

Thanks for a real world users review

I'm afraid bike journo reviews are always uninspiring IMO (unless its a BMW 1200 GS)

Keep us posted/updated

Can't expect Iggy to read the manual he's a busy lad

Having taken time out to read/view in full I thought it was very flattering.
Funny how people never report Italian bike electrics or metal moth outbreak but he was honest in "I own a vespa for rally kudos" in a roundabout way

Hi all I can say from stepping up from sh125i with start / stop which I really liked ,I was apprehensive about getting the sh300,mainly fuel economy and costs,but am well pleased with
it,I will be keeping this for probably the longest I've kept a bike ,it has ample power for most roads and is returning great economy and beats the sh125i which just didn't quite have enough for duel carriage way and motorway work,the handling and brakes on the sh300 are almost near
motorbike standards I would say.

Well, that makes more sense, is a lot more useful and a lot more like car systems work. I got around 70mpg from my old model SH300, which I found pretty remarkable the way I ride, but even at that mpg, the tank was a bit on the small side.

I can see the appeal of these as a town runaround but doing a 1,000 miles in 4 days seems excessive. The cramped riding position and wind blast cannot have been fun.

I fall more into the shallow what does it look like camp.

Yeah...sounds like hell, or an exercise in masochism! I thought my 8 mile 15 minute commute was quite far enough on my SH when I had it!
