I bought the piaggio brand wind screen and I love it no wind noise in my face.

Good review I test rode one a month ago I'm also 6'2 100 kg and the wind buffeting was pretty bad have to say but that clip on screen looks like a good fix. Your right about that seat pushing you forward too, thanks for posting

Adam Priest Im 6ft 2" so know you're pain ...the extension doesn't solve the problem at higher speeds IE 65 mph + I've started wearing proper earplugs now because the noise is annoying ...i,m tempted to get a givi screen but can't decide if i like them :-)

This was a good review. Didn't realize it came with traction control. I think I'm sold. Want one for cheap commuting in rainy Seattle

Damn, if you think the City Grips are bad, you need to try a lot more tires on scoots. :) They're among the best. :)

Hi, i wandering what’s it like for leg room, I’m 6’ plus same as you, and does that screen do the job. I love that scoot 👌

I had a B125 as my first scoot, at the time I told people I would rather been known for riding Beverly than riding Dylan, which was the other choice I had. :)

The city grips are ok to average when warm but skip when cold and they take an age to warm up ...only an opinion but i like sticky tyres ;-)

I've got the Honda PS150i now. But it's to slow for the highway. I'm looking to buy a sh300i. But then saw the piaggio bv. I am 6 foot 4. So I think the BV Wil be to small for me. Did you have a lot more room on the sh300? Or was it the same as on the piaggio? I'm sitting great on my ps150. But on the pictures of the sh300 the saddle lookes more pre shaped.

I found the bv to be bigger and had more foot room

I am considering buying one. Does the engine vibration ever bother you? I've sat on one with the engine on, but how is it while riding?

Are u satisfied with BV350? I am thinking between this one and X-Max 250. Since they are in same price range. I might go for this one.

@Mrfish2015 7 жыл бұрын

under90seconds i sold it in 2015 but I never had a problem apart from front bearings , I know someone with an xmax 250 and loves it , he's on his 3rd one

After your problems with piaggio customer service I'm having second thoughts in Australia the BV is about $9500 ride away. Not a cheap scooter, Hopefully you get it back soon but 3 weeks what a joke,

@Mrfish2015 9 жыл бұрын

Adam Priest I do have the bike back now although cost me £27 in a cab to pick it up ...i would say check out the feedback on your dealer as i suspect it was more my dealers attitude rather than piaggio ..as for the part that could just be a bit of bad luck .. it is a great scoot (so far)

I want one. Got to sell my f650gs BMW first though. How much trouble to remove the plastic to work on it?

@Mrfish2015 8 жыл бұрын

+gliderrider ..It will be a pain compared to the GS ..anything based around the rear wheel is fiddly but most scoots are if you are a patient person it should be ok ...for example to get the rear wheel off (for a new tyre) the exhaust has to come off plus some other bits and have to detach the suspension ..

Have you ridden the Honda forza 300? What's the BV350 like compared to the SH300i?

@Mrfish2015 8 жыл бұрын

Haven't ridden the forza I found the seat hump pushed me too far forward ...out of the BV and the SH I would say the BV is more practice but I prefer the SH much better build quality and I found it handled better when pushed hard (for a scoot)

@fazer12779 8 жыл бұрын

Ok thanks. I've owned a SH also & was deciding on the BV or forza or XMAX 400.

+DanieI Joseph the only way to know is go and take them all for a test ride .. I would say piaggio dealer back up was very poor when I had a problem (wheel bearings went on 1000 miles)

So noisy at speed. If I was 5'5" I'd be able to hide behind the stick windscreen. Please tell me where I can but the extension. Many thanks for your review.
