2010 Honda SH150i scooters
A 153cc 4-stroke powers the Honda SH150i scooter. The SOHC Single features Honda’s programmed fuel injection (PGM-Fi) and delivers power via the Honda Automatic V-matic transmission.
The Honda SH150i scooter sources large, (for a scooter) 16-inch wheels with 100/80 front and 120/80 rear tires. The steel frame is mated to a 33mm fork and dual rear shocks – the rear suspension components adjustable for preload.
Surprised? The reasonably priced, mid-size "Honda SH150i scooter is everything a scooter rider wants. With plenty of power, high-tech brakes and a modern, sporty style, I can see why the Honda SH150i scooter is king."
An overhead-cam engine, fuel injection and liquid cooling all help the little scoot sip fuel and operate trouble-free. Pull in either safety-switch-equipped brake lever, push the starter button and the Honda SH150i scooter purrs to life. Twist the grip and you're magically moving forward on a steady swell of power, aided by Honda's smooth three-speed V-Matic transmission.
The front wheel carries a single 220mm disc that's pinched by a twin-piston caliper. The rear hub holds a standard drum brake that's linked to the front via Honda's Combined Braking System (CBS). Pulling in the left-hand brake lever applies the rear brake and also routes some pressure to the front for improved braking performance. Large, 16-inch aluminum wheels help, as does the thin tail section and exposed twin shocks. If comfortable, twist-and-go transport with the fuel efficiency and reliability of a Honda sound appealing, then this king of scooters might just reign on your commute
