I should note, Taiwan has a spark plug but it isn't available here. VTA 3D now this looks like a plug.........

those do not have the proper mirrors either. The US versions seem to have the turn signal in each mirror..............

TANWARE, welcome to the Forum..some great people on here. By chance did you know a "Whisper" by name on here? He was on and sorta disappeared!! I am a new owner of a DT 300i.

Thanks, I am not sure about "Whisper". Glad to see another 300i owner. These are just a great scooter; my engine is far from freed up yet and so far performs admirably. I noticed on I think it was the MCO it said 29 BHP. Still plenty of power apparently, either that or it is just a classification to get it on the interstates.

48F here but had to take it out for a short run tonight to see what gets cold. The full face helmet works great but a light winter jacket with good neck protection and some good weather proof Thinsulate gloves should do for comfort.

My first night ride, the low beams seem inadequate for highway speed night time rides on a dark road. High beams were more than adequate to the task and seemed to light up enough even for interstate speeds. If you rock the switch just right you can get both low and high beams at the same time.

70+ MPG was one of the primary reasons I got the bike. I am retired so the daily money savings helps out and being greener makes me feel quite a bit better. Even my V65 Magna could only manage about 45 MPG ridden extremely easy. That and the Honda always felt like one wrong twist of the grip from demounting me.

The scooter so much more fits the style of riding I like to do and I feel much safer on it. I’ve noticed drivers in general are much more courteous than they used to be. I guess scooting and being greener is more accepted.  I get tons of looks on this.

I’ve ridden by places and seen people pointing as I go by. In general people seem to admire the scoot, not like the old days of guys dreaming of sub 3 sec 0-60 but more of the “Now That’s Cool” factor from both men and women. 

Thanks, great to be on one of these bikes. Got another few miles on it this morning but it is raining right now. Knowing I'd be at the higher speeds on occasion I got a full face helmet. Think I am going to get a shorty helmet for around town.

50 miles on it yesterday. All I can say is what a bike. I am 53, 5"11" and 220lbs+, emphasis on the plus. So I was a bit woried about the power. I was woried for nothing, this has more than ample power.

I can say is size wise that this is no highway crusing motorcycle, such as the Burgmans are. It is not uncomfortable on the highway but there is no real stretching out. For me that is fine, I wanted a nimble around town bike capable of interstate travel and this surely fits that bill.

The clutch is wondefull, after my current idle of 1700 RPM at 2000 you feel it grabbing. I wouldn't expect it to glaze the plates like the Burgman 400's do. I immediately adjusted the twist grip to get rid of the throttle play. With the low intertia of the 300i I just never feel a need to grab a handfull of the right grip just some slight feathering and the low weight helps with engine breaking too.

It is nice to know if I ever needed more performance all that would be required is to change out the rollers. I ride like I drive, casual, and this is more than enough bike for that. Now later on I'll try two up and see if this is still the case, if not as mentioned there are options................

I live in NJ and just walked out of the dealership. They are preping it now and it will be ready in about 3 hours. With all the positive comments about it, the fact it was over $2300.00 cheaper out the door than a 400 2011 Burgman this scooter won. Feel like a kid in a candy store and mom won't let me take anything from the bag till we get in the car...............
