Downtown 300 / 2 Downtown questions
« on: March 26, 2013, 05:00:49 PM »
1.  I almost accidentally hit the kill switch the other day while doing 120kmph.  If this did happen, would I be able to restart while on speed or rather stop to do this?  I am particularly worried about the gearbox and not sure how this will respond to high speeds from 0.

2.  The under seat space is great, but would be so much better if the piece of plastic where the second helmet is suppose to go, could be flat.  Is there anything beneath the big mole preventing one from trimming it down?  Has anyone cut this away yet?

After reading just about every available article on the Downtown, I decided this is my ideal long-term bike.  I have never been a biker and now at 40 decided to get something beating the traffic, rising fuel costs and yes...  experience this new adventure. 

I bought a 125cc Chinese scooter and had this for about 6 months, quickly realizing this is not my ideal commuting scoot.  6 weeks ago I received my Downtown and what a difference.  I cannot even find something to compare the two with.  The Downtown is in a total different league. 

I now have about 850kms on the clock and counting, loving every single moment.

Thank you for all the great advice and interesting reads on this forum.  Great to know there will always be some online help when needed.
