If the trucks are going that speed you need something capable of sitting at 90mph.
There isn't a 300 scooter been built which can do that.

Mine would sit happily at 70-75 no bother at all.
You'll get used to it in time.

Customised Honda CB1000R

I prefer dogs.
They can also trash furniture.

Absolutely any 10w30 motor oil will be fine.
Mobil 1 is good quality stuff, use with confidence.

Honda have done something quite remarkable.
They've made an utterly dreadful (not a) scooter a whole lot worse.
It is beyond hideous.

Nope, first PCX with rear disc was on the market two years ago.

You've never seen a Yamaha Vino or Xmax?

There was a 500 twin in the 70s, CB500T, I had one.

Try a brand new battery.

Rear disc.....hallelujah......about time......overall , this is a nice upgrade. Don't get too excited.

European model will retain the drum. https://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles...

Not all of it, just the shittier parts.

Why powder coat a component which is hidden behind a cover?
Doesn't make any sense at all.

The motorcycle which really inspired me to get one of my own was a friend's KH250
One ride on the back of that thing and I was hooked for life.

My first bike was a TS185

The foam is meant to be there, it prevents rattling.
If you take the corrosion off it will corrode again.
Best to leave it as is and put the cover back on.

Firstly, chapeau for sticking at it, a lifetime of happy scooting is your reward. I went the other way with the screen, got the short sport screen, no more nasty turbulent air. " Even from 30 mph, I only need the rear brake. " This is a very bad idea. When you use the brakes, kinetic energ...
