have two at the dealer, very nice quality all around, if your an LT-150 fan you'll appreciate the lines, pricy but we already know that. No worse then buying a vespa

Saw one a Honda dealer...he had only one and was not too pleased with the MSRP price position within the scooter market.

Agreed...if you have an LT150 and prefer that style the SH150 is something that will be appreciated.

It is rather pricey and there doesn't seem to be a lot brought in...believe there will be a 100 'ish/ 125 'ish cc??? being brought in...hard to keep track.

their great scooters but the price is going to kill them, honda should have tried this last year when the market was hot. I don't see them lasting more then a year or two then its back to being the No.1 scooter in Italy

Hurry on down to our Richmond or Chelsea Showrooms for that brilliant deal!

This is what I believe the Dealer was talking about a 125cc model.

BTW...his sentiments were the same...if it was last year he could have sold the SH150i...if there is no upward swing to the price of fuel...it will be difficult...

hmm true.. but really and truely I don't think I have ever ridden so comfortably on a scooter below a 200cc. The ride compared to a LX or the S or an ET, is no match for the ride of a PS, SH, or even a honda lead...

fuel injection... more miles per g?

I think even if the prices are pricey... it is still very tempting!

Might be one of the ugliest scooters (?) ever made.

Practical? Yes, but then what?

I'd recommend a Kymco instead, since it costs less but is of equal quality.

Well beauty is in the eye's of the beholder, rode the SHI 300 in Italy about 18 Months ago...If it comes to the states I'm buying it. Still love the GT 200 but those 16 inch wheels make a big difference.

They dooo!!!!! Honda are... overly engineered, I saw one taken apart. Everything was pretty much clear as water!

The US will love the SH300, and yes you guys need to get used to the design. its actually pretty beautiful once you've spent some time with it!

Agree with that sentiment. I even considered chopping the SH300i in for a Tmax. That is VERY overpriced and actually the nimbleness of the SH is just perfect for London traffic. I've been riding it like a loony this week.

Actually the 300 is now way overpriced. Buy an ex demo one for £2500 and you're laughing. £4 big ones are just too much
