It is actually good fun to ride.<br />I have used it for short local trips, regular 40 mile round trips to visit family and so far, one 400 mile round trip. <br />Top speed is about 52-53mph until the rev limiter cuts in (a somewhat odd sensation) and so far, over 1000 miles, have averaged 105 mpg. Pretty good considering half of that has been flat out at 50mph.<br />One warning though. Never buy a Givi screen. I bought one for winter riding and they mis-supplied right hand thread bolts to fix the screen bracket to the Honda mounts. Three weeks on I am still waiting.<br />In fact the initial response was that it must be a "fault on my particular bike". Really ! Honda accidentally threaded it back to front? I did check with my dealer and all Hondas use left hand thread fixing so basically Givi are just incompetant. <br />If Givi are that useless who knows if the stuff they sell is safe? Toyota initially denied a fault with their cars but after several people were killed in America, they had to recall millions of cars. I no longer trust Givi. Better to buy a Puig (German made and TUV approved) or a genuine Honda.toltechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432520773810284277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415402.post-40109178981812321182010-07-23T10:28:08.235+01:002010-07-23T10:28:08.235+01:00At the expense of commercial symbol, the actual di...At the expense of commercial symbol, the actual displacement of 300 cc is not: the 4-valve single cylinder Quasar, with electronic injection and liquid-cooled, in fact, has a bore of 75 mm and a stroke of 63 mm, which on balance worth 278 cc.<br /><a href="http://expresslite.blogspot.com/2010/07/piaggio-mp3-300-lt.html" rel="nofollow">piaggio</a>John Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837427177965024839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415402.post-90608076535157634302010-03-21T12:16:48.648+00:002010-03-21T12:16:48.648+00:00I bought one of these in August 2008 (second hand)...I bought one of these in August 2008 (second hand), it cost £1300 and had done what I thought to be 113km. The owner of the shop told me to expect 60-70mpg from it, but as I told him, I'm a big lad, and if I managed 50+ I was going to be quite content (it was to be used only for commuting, a nine mile ride in each direction over relatively hilly terrain in the Pennines).<br /><br />I didn't check the odometer at all during the first week, which is probably a bit daft, but filled it at the end of one week. It took less than £5 to fill it up (which, at the time, was about a gallon/4.5 litres). I made a note of the odometer reading, and noticed that it read 218. 105km to the gallon - 65mpg - nice.<br /><br />I then noted the mileage when I arrived at work the next time I rode it - and it became clear that the odometer reading was not actually in km, but miles. 100+mpg, and it did that every week for 18 months until some scrotes nicked it in January.<br /><br />When the insurers coughed up, I bought another. It's never going to be exciting, but for a commuter (and that's all I bought it for) it's spot on. Even the spongy rear suspension suits me, I'm knocking 40 now so a bit of give is quite welcome for me!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040266204087103591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415402.post-10777935750743203202009-07-22T10:00:03.960+01:002009-07-22T10:00:03.960+01:00Great review ... thanks a lot.
