Just traded the 4 year old Yamaha 250 xmax for a Honda SH300i. Xmax ended up costing me £300 per year, not bad at all.
Lovely light bike weighing in at about 170kgs. Thats probably about 50 kg less than the xmax. It looks like a standard 125cc bike.The bike comes with keyless ignition, only one. So awaiting a quote for a spare. The key less thing works without a hitch and opening the seat and steering lock all work fine.
Suspension and balance feel pretty good, only real issue is wind at 80k and above. 40 euro givi fairing ordered. The bike is super quick, smooth and quiet and I would highly recommend it. Especially as it has ABS on both wheels.
Only issue now is getting it into the boot of the Hymer. 120 high does not go into 114 high. I spoke to a guy with same van and bike and he compresses front fork to get it into van. Not sure i want to have forks compressed all the time. I am considering putting a smaller wheel on the front just for Transport. Reckon I could change the wheel in less than 5 mins, so hopefully that will not be an issue. Hmmm Famous last words. Now where did i put that wheelbarrow ! Tom
