Phew,

After a nightmare of trying to find a replacement for the very slow 2015 Honda vision I've managed to drop on a little gem of a Honda innova 2004 with 14k miles a set of new Michelin tyres, a givi top box, genuine Honda exhaust... £750 tested while August.

I have been up the length and breadth of the country with my mate wuyang. A trip to Blackpool at 9pm at night only to find a Honda SH125 being used as a chicken coop with an 85 year old owner.
A trip to Leek to test ride the most dangerous SH125 in UK. Lucky to be still alive the handling was so bad.

I'd resigned myself to the fact that I was never going to find a new bike, was planning to buy a new LML 200 four stroke scooter with manual gears, or a Suzuki bandit from Bolton...
low and behold eBay came up trumps as I sipped my morning coffee and scrolled through the newly listed...
Gleaming little red robin!
Been used on back of a motor home, ridden 2 up in France and Spain and others. Owned by a local bloke just up the road.
It's now in my garage and having just swapped insurance over waiting to be taken out on a spin into the Peak District.

Pics to follow.

Anyone know what performance I can expect?

Engine ticks slightly, I'm assuming it's cam chain.

Innova performance is around 60-65 mph,fuel 120 mpg but not at the same time.At least that's what my 2004 bike did when I had it.
