Title: i saw a Honda SH 150i today.
Post by: LidoCA on October 12, 2014, 03:20:13 AM
 I did a double take when I saw the Honda badge. I never knew that Honda had imported them. When I got home, I looked them up. I guess they only imported them for the 2010 year. Poor sales and high prices kept sales low. It looks a lot like the People 150. I like it.

I love those things...came and went before I knew about them.
Like what.....if the dealer hasn't one on the floor.....not like I could've looked at a scooter magazine!!!
What a backward country.....no scooter mags!

Title: I tried one out

when they first came out.
Looking for my wife a scoot.
The Sh150 was decent. Not overly impressed.
The Honda dealer stuck to full retail on the scoot, which was a rediculas price for a 150.
We looked around and found a new Scarabeo 200.
The Scarabeo out performed the 150 by a large margin, had better features, and we got it for $1000 less.
She has had the Scabby for about three years now and has been very pleased with it.
Now days there are very good scoots around that are NOT Honda s.

Isn't that the scoot they wanted $4500 msrp for? Way out of line for a 150 in my book.

 When I was looking for a scooter, I did a few comparisons based on price, performance, reliability. As my first new scooter, I don't believe that I would have chosen the SH. The
main reason would have been the price.
 As a second back up used scooter, I would consider it. I would do a bit more research if my choice were between the SYM HD 200 and the SH. They seem comparable, but looks are deceiving.

Nice but way too expensive.

I had the SH150i, it was my first scooter. I loved it! it is a great scooter but under powered for me at 150cc 15.5 hp (153cc actual), liked it so much I looked at the SH300i but sadly it isn't available in the US so I bought the GT300i. Now the GT300i is indeed a great scooter!
Oddly enough I sold my Sh150i for the same price I bought my GT300i, apparently there is a cult following for that bike, I include myself in that cult!

IMO, and many others it's one of the few Honda offerings worth the extra bucks. It's simply the best 150 of its kind, ever.

What is "the advanced 3 stage transmission"?
This is a beautiful scoot -step through, big wheels, combined braking, 91 mpg.
 Yeah, OK the price is a bit steep....but the resale still speaks to good overall value.
