HONDA SCOOTER, SH300i, VERY LOW MILAGE, ONE MATURE OWNER, SAFE, RELIABLE, ECONOMICAL URGENT in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire for sale

1 (62 year old) owner from new, dealer fitted screen and back box (uses ignition key and takes a helmet) only ridden to work in good weather, 3700 sunny miles, stored in a garage. Taxed and Tested to next May. Lack of use over 3 winters means I had to put a new battery on earlier this year. All original documents, tools, etc. The Honda SH300i is the best scooter you can buy, fast, almost vibration free, big wheels for better balance, ABS linked disc brakes, slim so you can manoeuvre it easily, light so you can park in small spaces and easily wheel it out again and it's a Honda so it is built with real metal and it'll go for ever. Look on Utube to see how fanatic the owners are. If you are used to bikes or last rode a Vespa or Lambretta you are in for a big, very pleasant, surprise. For the price of a cheesy new scooter you can buy the real deal with only a 'demonstrator' type mileage for less than half of the current new price which is £4,700.00 Much as I'd love to keep it I've bought a big fat Honda ATV and some tackle for maintaining a horse paddock and there is no more room in the garage so it has to go now. That's why it's priced to sell quickly. Look here and on BikeTrader to check what similar mileage SH300i scooters are selling for. I've seen some from dealers at nearly a grand more that the opening bid here. This is what Twist n Go said about the SH300i In a nutshell it’s because the Honda is just so much fun to ride. It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing; it rides like a full-on sports scooter, accelerates very well from a standing start, has loads of power for overtaking and it’ll stop on a sixpence thanks to those ABS/CBS equipped brakes. I had the SH300i for almost two months in total, by default really. Mau had been riding it, but I ‘borrowed’ it and liked it so much that I didn’t bother to give it back. ...... As you’d expect, the Honda brakes are second-to-none as well, the ABS/CBS is so well sorted that you hardly know it’s there, unless of course you find yourself needing to brake hard on a wet or slippery surface. In which case the Honda will stop without locking the wheels, usually with much more finesse and control than an experienced rider could even contemplate without the system. This is the review from Bike Trader UK The SH300i was conceived to satisfy commuting professionals and, since its launch in 2007 the scooter has made the streets of Europe’s great cities its own. Key to the scooter’s superb performance and versatility is its liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 279.1cm3 engine. Employing a four-valve cylinder head and PGM-FI fuel injection, the engine boasts the power and torque to carve effortlessly through traffic. Throttle response is accurate and swift, giving controlled bursts of acceleration when the rider demands it, while an unwavering focus on reducing internal friction ensures the best possible fuel efficiency. As befits a machine designed for performance and ease of use, the SH300i uses a centrifugal clutch and automated V-Matic transmission. Instant acceleration is only ever a twist of the wrist away. This unique blend of abilities has helped the SH300i establish itself as the ideal machine for anyone in need of fast, efficient urban and suburban transport. Details like cast alloy 16-inch wheels for stability, motorcycle-style front suspension for superb road holding and a completely reliable, quiet and powerful fuel-injected engine, have given customers a refinement that is unmatched in this class of scooter. Now the not so good stuff! There is a little surface rust on the right hand rear shock which I was too busy (or lazy) to rub off before I took the photos, see the 2 photos to check this, and there is a patch of paint missing on the exhaust box where a plastic rain cover I put over it (once) melted on the hot metal and took the paint off. Both are superficial you can
