I wanted to share some pics and a quick history on my Honda. I had purchased a 2009 Yamaha Vino 125 back in August, on my birthday with the intention of having a fun ride to zip around town on as well as some couple rides with my wife. The Vino didn't disappoint except it just couldn't handle a passenger, the weight capacity was low and the engine really bogged down with the extra weight. When I saw that Honda had just released the SH150i I set out to check it out. When I reached Honda of Fairfield the first bike that caught my eye was the Elite. I had read a little about it but I really didn't want to go from a 125 down to 110. I loved the looks so I decided to give it a test ride, I had brought my wife with me this time to make sure. I couldn't believe the power and comfort for both of us, it got up to 45mph in a hurry and held speed even up hills. I took it out myself and had no problem clearing the 50 mph mark, the Vino could reach 60mph but not nearly as quickly as the Honda. This was fuel injected, liquid cooled instead of carburated & air cooled, it had more storage, larger seat and passenger footpegs. I was sold, I traded in the Vino and I haven't looked back. Now that its warm I think the miles will come, I'm still under 500 but loving this bike!
