Goodbye to the current SH 150. Once again it is being deleted form the Honda line-up due to slow sales, I have been told

Yamaha Tricity 155 @ 1 year and 3k: these are not big numbers, but enough to formulate my impressions. This is a capable scooter, but not a refined one. I guess it was to keep the price down in an endevour to seduce buyers toward this non traditional format. It is fit for purpose. I don't believe multi leaning wheel will become ...

@ 650ks: this is a joyful ride. When I have a spare 1 - 1.5 hrs I jump on the Monkey 125, which invariably puts a grin on my face. Just grass roots simplicity riding, with a splash a Honda quality tossed in to this playful mix.

I had an Aprilia 125. Purchased it mint 2nd hand with 1200ks on the clock. The first service had been undertaken at 1000ks, with the next service due at 4oooks. It is also claimed that irrespective of mileage engine oil should be replaced at 12 months as it loses it's composition structure - breaks down.

... Oh, I purchased new a Yammy YP250 Majesty scooter (Silver). I very much enjoyed this reliable and comfortable scooter at that time (circa 2000). I suspect it was a Japan built machine.
