Welcome Spike 1
Only been on the forum a couple of weeks just too kdelivery of my DT yesterday, Awesome!!!! I had a SYM 250GTI which I thought was amazing but the DT is way better in all departments. I was concerned that it may take a while to rack the miles up as I am having an alarm fitted during it first service, my dealer said you wont have a problem as its a scoot you want to ride. Took it home and had my lunch and thought got to get back on it ended up doing a 130 mile round trip to see my friend in Morecambe. Loved every second it is smoother, more stable, better looking and more powerful than the SYM. I hate to say it but I am glad someone stole my SYM otherwise I would have missed out on this great scoot.

There are only 28 of us in the UK, and half of those are 2011 registrations, so I don't expect to come across any for a while...

Compared with 784 for the XEVO 400ie taxed in the last year...

welcome to all new DT 300 owners.  i live in the New Orleans area and have had my DT for about 3 months.  had a Honda Elite 80 so my step up was a huge one.  I was at the dealer this past Thursday and they had just received a new orange 300 and sold it the same day.  Frank, what type of alarm are you having installed?

[frankiej1949]

Hi CK
Welcome. I am having a Datatool sensor alarm and immobiliser. Cant remember the model number. Having it fitted on Thursday 18th so I will let you know which one and its effectiveness. I have also fitted two wall anchor points chain and lock on front wheel, cable and alarmed lock on the rear, lol. Dont want my DT stolen I love it.
Safe scooting
Frank

Frank, how much are you paying for the alarm and fitting if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Shadwell
I paid £146 fitted. May have been a little over the odds but its my local dealer and I trust him to install without damaging the scoot.

Hi - just bought a DT, live near Newquay in Cornwall - I've seen one other DT here ?

Anyone tried a taller screen ? I'm 6' and get a lot of buffeting at 50mph +

[racewalker]

Yes GIVI windscreen for DT300I. Is a little tall for some but I have no buffeting and gas milage went up a bit after install as no wind on me.

[juanpauk]

Ermax makes a very similar screen 10 cm taller.
 here is a link if interested:

[SpikeOne]

That's s much more professional looking one than the GIVI one, and at thrity odd quid cheaper too!

[juanpauk]

Hehe, I 'm sure you can get it cheaper if you do a proper search, there has to be a distrubutor here in the UK and we might be able to knock down the shipping cost.

Nice find..................
