Hondas are feeble and slow.

If I get another small scooter it will probably be another Kymco. As for feeble and slow, perhaps for the smaller Honda scooters but not for my Honda Silverwing 600cc. It's a very powerful maxiscooter and will probably remain my main ride. I was passing someone yesterday on a state highway and looked down at my speedometer and saw 90 in a matter of seconds. If I had to have only one bike that would do it all for touring and urban riding it would be the SW. It's the swiss army knife of scooters. I finally got the Grom and Buddy off my brain, BTW.  ;)

Just took my Helix for a 330 mile trip in the N. Georgia, Tennessee, N. Carolina Mountains yesterday. Cruised 70 on the highway and kept up with the motorcycles on the twisties.

The Helix is an amazing scooter and came close to buying one. They're the bike that started Maxiscooters.
