Title: Honda UK scooter lineup
Post by: Iahawk on May 13, 2022, 02:19:33 PM

I was looking at the Honda UK motorcycle page and clicked on the scooters. Interesting choices across the pond!  The biggest is the Forza 750, wow...and the smallest? A Vision 110.  I was surprised that I didn't see versions of our (US models) Metropolitan or Ruckus (50 cc) scoots available.

Are 50cc scooters not popular in the UK? Or is the 50cc market more served by the Chinese and Taiwanese scoots?

For some reason I'm drawn to the SH350i body style...love the idea of a 350cc, flat floored, 16" wheeled scoot.

I had a 2005 Honda SH150 in Roma and absolutely loved it. The bike was so reliable and easy to work on.

Pretty sure the other big four still have 50’s in their range Hawk and Peugeot certainly do. They sell to 16 yr olds - no car licence til 17 here - but since the demise of 2-strokes, the market has shrunk. At the moment here we can get the Forza 350, but not the X-ADV 350?
