I know why you keep the Dio as it really is a great scooter. I requested a new Dio plug at the 4k service, but they talked me out of it. The book suggests 8k change, but I would rather have had the new plug. Water under the bridge now. I don't like cold weather riding any more. I enjoy it but my body does not. It wasn't a problem 40 years ...

It will be a while before I can come back to you with cruising speed capability. The manual advises against sustained high speed running until 1600 ks are on the odometer. Extensive prior reading informs me that top speed is indicated @110kph, but true top speed is really105kph. Because of the engine cooling efficiencies, I have further read, ...

I have owned a considerable range of machines going back more than 50 years. These include large heavy motorcycles and more recently smaller scooters. I have just come from a low base (in terms of physics only) with the Honda Dio @102kg. So I can say that there feels no real discernable difference with the dual wheel set-up (on the Tricity).

... I don't buy much stuff through the net, so was astounded at how quickly my orders arrived. And typical of the Japanese the product(s) were well wrapped and boxed to defend against potential damage

Thanks for the response. Certainly on the faster sections of roads it will be operating near it's limits, but for general about town duties, for me, it will be adequate. I want to keep the scooter weight down, but it is difficult to establish weight statistics for the GTS 150 IGET. I have seen the latest GTS 300 posted at 158kg, but it does ...

... thank you for this reference

.... a question for you Mike, with your good technical knowledge: how comfortable/capable would a new GTS 150 iget be on a club run similar to that which you undertook last Sunday? I'm only 68kg. I just overlooked the GTS 150 iget, currently on sale, as I did not like either colour option. But if a white one becomes available it is something I ...

Yes, I agree Rod. Would love someone to post a small report about the rally.
