Honda Vision any comments?

[TheDogMan]

I had bought a new Vision and it was great for local work BUT when we are away I like to go on trips out by myself sometimes long distance so got a new SH125 which was brilliant and very happy cruising at 65mph and good two up, took it in for a service and came away having traded it in for a new SH300, really powerful and a pleasure to ride. I would not buy a Chinese one and think Honda are the best having had my first one 40 years ago but I have no doubt that the other major Japanese makes are good as well. a relation bought a Chinese bike and it looked brilliant chopper style loads of chrome, 2 years later its falling to pieces and going going rusty and its worthless he cannot even get anyone to offer him a PX price and selling privately failed as well.

I can't get the eBay link to work but it's a warrior ramp it's now £66 but was £42 when I bought it

I purchased the Warrier folding ramp with the well made padded storage bag (a must to avoid scratching in garage)

same here only i got it for 40 nicker without the bag,

Dont think the bag is worth it but some foam padding to protect the van when it is in the position for the bike to enter or exit is essential.
Cant see how scratching inside the van would occur. I just put mine down flat next to the scooter and jam it into position with crash helmet, top box, wine beer, water etc

Just a thought about bike or scooter batteries: plugged into a 12v leisure battery socket when in the garage they'd be looked after by the leisure system without any risk of going flat or being forgotten.

It’s all down to personal choice, ramps being pressed out aluminium there are a lot of sharp edges which the bag protects against but added bonus being waterproof it will contain any moisture mud or whatever should the ramp be used in wet weather, to me it’s a small additional price to pay for such protection.

Mine came with the bag and a set of 4 ratchet straps.
I bought it in September for £44 on eBay with delivery included they seem to have jumped in price again I can only imagine it's because they think the biking season kicks off again end of Feb start of March.

Still cheaper than the £89 I paid for the first one i bought 3 years ago
