Hiya,
I'm new to this forum but am on several others. and run one myself .....

I ride a Honda Silverwing FJS600 maxi and am really pleased with it (Owned same bike 8 years and toured all over)

Have been pointed in your direction by Jaz as he has recommended the Honda Innova as a starter bike for my wife Nyssa

I got her a CBT as a Chrimbo present and am waiting for the fun to begin.

Hello and welcome. I have another bike to suggest. How about the new cub copy by "Riders". Your wife would certainly attract a lot of interest from the folks on here. They cost as little as 800quid in a crate if you want to assemble it yourself. It has all the characteristics of a cub with many interchangeable parts.The Innova doesnt even have a manual for reference. Now I may be wrong here but I forsee a lot of Honda dealer prices being charged for work you could have done yourself.

What is normally suggested on here is that if you are going to spend up to a grand on a bike then buy a restored Cub that wont depreciate in value like the Innova. Anyway here's the link for the cub copy

Nyssa would indeed enjoy the ANF but why not a Cub? for starter bike , intermediate bike and all you'll ever need

The cub and Innova are of course superb bikes but you can not do the full bike test on one,only small bike auto. Silverwing ....I have a real one..and a suzuki stepthrough

Welcome to the club you already know BSR and will probably meet a few of us sooner or later.

Welcome indeed mikbak, there's probably a bigger crossover of maxi-scoots/cub owners than you think!

Oh, and as wightegi says, you probably WILL meet a few of us sooner or later whether you want to or not!!

Wife (Nyssa) really needs a bike to take her through to full test she also worries about gears, she had a t&g Honda Melody some years ago and likes the concept.

I may also use the bike for work sometimes

so would like the extra poke of a 125.Commute is mainly country lanes and back roads, if there is one car at a roundabout down here it is a traffic jam...

Would it be worthwhile getting Cub copy delivered in crate to save money , (I service the Swing myself)...

I organise a ride down here in Pembrokeshire regularly .... so maybe a cub rideout may be on for next year

We have some stunning scenery...

The chaepest way to a full license is with a GC125

Hello Mike

there's a big thread discussing the Riders Super Cub here. I'd leave them well alone personally...

Thanks Jaz

Nyssa is going to do her CBT some time soon and will try geared bikes first, that way she can progress onto other than autos or semi autos...

She fancies the SH125 ... and tbh I will probably have a commute on whatever bike she gets saving the Wing for longer rides and joint rides...

Will keep you all updated as we go
