SH300 - First Ride

Due to weather and personal circumstances I have been unable to get the scooter out till today.  Today was not the ideal day for a first ride.  It was drizzling and the temperature was round 12 degrees.

It was not really too difficult to paddle out of the garage.  I moved right forward so I not quite standing and not quite sitting on the seat and it was not too hard to reverse out of the garage. So that was better than I expected - but not ideal.

Honda SH300i - Why

History

I got the Address and I really like it.  It is very light, easily moved about, quick enough for most roads in Cornwall and, after fitting my Givi top box, can carry quite a high volume.

But it slows down on hills, especially two up.

I also have a 650cc BMW R65LS which I have had for a long time.  It doesn't slow down on hills, but it's quite heavy.

So I thought that maybe a more powerful scooter might not only bridge the gap, but ultimately replace both of them.

That was the plan.
