Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda SH300i 2016

Honda SH300i 2016

The new SH300i again presents itself as a practical and surprisingly sporty big-wheel scooter, but it can do almost everything better than its predecessor. The fact that the power and torque are marginally lower will be quite tolerable when you hear that the mid-range offers a bit more punch as a result. You will hardly feel it anyway, there was absolutely no need to act on the sporty talents of the SH300i. Storage space, on the other hand, has been improved: a full-face helmet of normal size now fits under the seat. Additional comfort features such as the Honda Smart Key System, which allows the ignition key to simply be left in the pocket, and a 12-volt socket under the seat make the SH300i even more interesting. And finally, the look has also been upgraded; thanks to the full LED lighting, it now looks sportier without alienating the regular customers.

You will probably still be able to distinguish a Vespa from all other scooters in a few decades' time - and that is precisely what makes it so appealing. An original that sets standards in terms of looks and manoeuvrability. The supposedly weak engine has an amazingly easy time with the low weight, only at higher speeds does the GTS300 i.e. Super Sport run out of steam and the handling becomes a little tippy. In the city, however, the 300 is certainly the king of the traffic lights. The quality feel and workmanship are first-class, but the helmet compartment under the seat can only hold a full-face helmet at best - others can really do better.

unique design

high-quality workmanship

nimble handling

sufficient performance in city traffic

good brakes

somewhat tippy handling

not made for long distances

small helmet compartment is sufficient at best for a full-face helmet

high price
