Hi I just bought a s/h Suzuki UH200 K8 to replace a non ULEZ compliant car for a 10 mile round trip commute.

I'm new to scooters.
I also have a toy - a very anti-social road registered 1980 Yamaha IT425 enduro bike.
A long long time ago I rode big capacity sports tourers until a bad accident forced me to take a break from 2 wheels.

I really like the UH200 - it's quick enough and the storage compartment is great for supermarket hauls,. The IT just comes out when I feel like being obnoxious now.

Hi and welcome to our forum

Welcome! I had to google UH200 but I see it's a Baby Burgervan so I know what it is now.

Good choice

Excellent choice, and welcome to Maxi Muppets.

The UH Burgmans are terrific!

I had one, "The Fridge."

Blimey, did you have to avoid low bridges with that screen?

It was ace! The whole riding experience was almost completely devoid of wind noise or wind chill.

I wish I could claim credit. I bought the scoot with 700 miles on it and thought it was standard fitment until someone told me.

yes - it is a good machine - not too impressed by the fuel economy, but then I haven't measured it really.

My Yamaha 425 does about 25mpg - at least it's better than that I guess...

Four times better, hopefully.

A UH should be averaging 100mpg whether it is a 125 or 200.

I'd say the general rule of thumb for modern scoots:
- 125cc around 110mpg
- 200-300cc around 85mpg or more (my Xmax 300 used to give 95mpg)
- 400cc around 70mpg
- 500cc - around 60mpg.

Obviously your journey profile and weight of your throttle hand will be a factor.

Happy to be corrected, if anyone thinks I'm a bit out

I used to have a Honda Dax 70cc - that was quoted as 140 mpg - I got a real world 100 mpg from that.

I see UH200 users reporting low 50s to low 70s. My GFs diesel SUV gets close to the lower end of that.
