Curious - if the Honda SH is so plentiful - why are they so often stolen in your country?...
Or do you mean the SH rider is robbed of his money at stop lights? (which sounds like certain areas of Cleveland)
In this Holiday Season...you are forgiven for calling one of our most popular Kymco models ugly😊!
Good luck - and safe riding!

LOL thanks for your forgivness, by saying unattractive i mean to cops and other people.
i will cover you curiosity mate:
the Honda sh is so popular in European countries, which are close to morocco and its in demand in here.
so in Europe they get stolen a LOT! and they get transferred to morocco by parts, they even cut the chassis and all parts and re weld them in here! even non stolen ones get this to avoid paying the HIGH DUTIES prices set by morocco.
example videos of honda sh getting stolen in italy:
which causes the Honda sh to fall aparts so many times while you driving it,
we call it in morocco : "camel sit" when they broke they look like a camel when they sit down.
example pictures :
and because of this smuggling and this story they get sold for a cheap : 2000$ for example for a honda sh 150i 2015 model if they come with a B-40 backlate (tangier back plate, the only city that allow motorcyle to get registration and a new back plate without the original paper).
and they get used by thieves a lot example video :
the honda sh is the new aprilia leonardo for thieves in here, its unstoppable.
because of this "high demand" & "low price" once you own a honda sh then ALL EYES ON YOU.
a video of 2 thieves trying to rob it from the owner by force :
there are a LOT of cases but on private facebook groups.
because of all of this, you will get stopped by police for paper and chassis check a lot of times.. and you will get stopped by thieves too! using machette or by force they are even using cars to get you from it!
a picture of two of my friends living nearby who died on the sh, we are not sure why they got hit by a car but highly because of that :
do you get the full picture now? without third parties and over priced duties and for 2500$ that i have i should get my legal honda sh or even a yamaha fz6!
