I am 67 years old and own a 2009 Grandvista 250 .Today I rode a 2017 Honda Rebel 300 thinking it would be a nice step up with it having fuel injection ,nice low seat , 6 speeds and only 600 miles on it. Maybe I've gotten lazy, but I fell back n love with my Grandvista after upshifting and down shifting on the Honda Rebel. I felt the Rebel was a good quality bike , but I also felt I had to pay more attention to the gear position I was in than actually enjoying the ride. I now really appreciate just starting my scooter up twisting the throttle and accelerating down the road and when it it's time to stop I grab the hand brakes and I stop wth no other extra moves. All I have to do is twist the throttle and the CVT takes me up to speed in seconds without interruption. I also have tons of storage under the seat, something the Rebel simply did not have! I do have a love of motorcycles, but after riding scooters for years now I'm enjoying the simpler ride my scooter provides. I just want to say make sure you are actually enjoying your two wheel ride whatever it may be.
