Honda’s best selling scooter is updated for 2009 with the arrival of the SH125i and the SH150i. The new scooters have been modified in their style, mechanics and braking system.
We had the chance to have a little ride as the Honda SH scooter is the most sold on the Italian market with more than 500,000 models sold since it was first released back in 1984. Italy is the biggest scooter market in the world, and so the Honda success really says something.
The two motors are relatively similar in their performance and fuel consumption, at more than 30km/litre for both models. The style has taken on a more elegant and compact profile with new front and rear design, including front V-shaped headlight.

After having “dirtied” the Vespa with a new design, GIVI has now moved to other new windshields with witty, fashionable and fantastical grafics. These designs can be seen on the base of the plexiglass windshield, and don’t interfere with visibility while still giving your scooter a personal touch.
After the Vespa model in the left hand photo, Givi has also created designs for the Aprilia Scarabeo 150-200 and the Honda SH 125i-150i. For more information go to www.givi.it.
