Honda is bringing a scooter that's popular in Europe to the the U.S. as an early-release 2010 model. It's the SH150i scooter.
Honda SH150i scooter hits showrooms May 2009. |
The SH150i blends new, modern styling, easy operation, in a fun economical package. The 153cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine is fuel injected for smooth acceleration. The generous seat is comfortable for two-up riding, while large style 16-inch wheels provide a planted feel when riding. The SH150i also offers the stopping power of Honda's Combined Brake System, which distributes braking force between the front and rear wheels, plus useful amenities such as an under-seat storage area and the option of an accessory rear box.
Price is $4,499. The first units will begin arriving in dealership showrooms in May of 2009, and will be available in red and black colors.

Anything with the Honda name is pricey! My 250 Reflex was much higher than my husband's Kymco Exciting 250 and his has a longer warranty, more options, and cheaper maintenance. I would have gotten a Kymco but the seat was too high for my short legs.

$4.499 is a bit pricey for this scooter, right? I know it's a Honda, which means quality, but there are comparable quality models from Aprilia, Kymco and Sym that are considerably less expensive. Off the top of my head, I think the MSRP for a Sym HD200 is 3,799, which is also a quality scooter with more power and a better warranty. Am I wrong here?
