Thanks for the photos!

Seems like a good scooter - $1500 less than the last Honda 300 in this country.
My late brother drove a Porsche Boxster …..with few cup holders - kinda like your 300 scooter with a difficult cell phone box.

Photos? I still can’t see ‘em!

Just back off a holiday to Sardinia where I wished I'd had my XT300 along, but that's another story.  Came back with the firm resolve to add earplugs to the travel kit.  Suffered a lot from boozed up revellers in a neighbouring apartment who were hard to sleep through.  Next time the plugs will be packed!

At times at work I was guilty of putting the earphones in!  I blame open plan offices.

 

My hearing aids are fairly effective ear plugs.  I just turn them off while riding.

 

I have a spare in my pocket at all times.  Walking sucks.

Had never thought about it. Until now....

You live in the UK, and don't own a car?
Do you have very good public transport?
A few yrs ago I refused further repairs to a 25 yr old Jetta (great car BTW!) and decided to work commute in Ohio with a LIKE200I. We have nearly no city bus service - snow mornings meant poor wife driving me in to my work - interrupting her preparing for work! Then bussing to within a mile of my house after work....and lovely, brisk walk on road's berm.
Dumb plan.
Father-in-law eventually tried to sell me his nearly new Chevy truck. I refused to cave on my dumb plan. A year later he handed me the title & keys to the truck - gratis.
The family concensus was that I would be found frozen in a snowbank come spring thaw.
My family envies anyone living in a city which has good public transportation!
The USA sorely needs it!

As Viper has already said Stig, it depends where you are in the UK.  Here in rural Cheshire, I am lucky enough to have a bus roughly every hour into the two nearest towns so, in extremis, I do have an alternative and it's free as I'm now of retirement age! 

That said, I did have 20-odd years of my working life where I only owned a motorcycle and travelled the length and breadth of the UK in the course of my management duties.  My best year saw me clock up 45K miles on a Triumph Daytona 900.  Getting to meetings in a sharp suit, collar & tie took logistics of an interesting nature sometimes.  The worst being getting changed on a public car park behind a parked car - fortunately in the days here before the proliferation of CCTV cameras!

Welcome Paco to the forum. I have driven scooters for years in Rome and now I continue to do so in the US. It is much easier on the hands, back and legs...lol

That's so true Dean.  My back plays me up on occasion such that I found I was riding my scooter far more than my racing crouch Daytona 955i!  Forced a reappraisal, after which I reluctantly traded in my 20 year-old Triumph in for a Street Triple and I find the more upright stance on that much more to my back's liking 

Day long comfort on either mount now which suits me fine.

From Japan days, I remember little Japanese girls on 50cc scooters, smoking Macho Man Marines on their Harleys in traffic. Funny.

That I would pay to see!!
