It's a good looking scooter. No problems with the SH150 except feeling a little anemic in some situations.

Re: Back in the saddle again
Like they say, "it's better to be lucky than smart".
My SH has had the piston/cylinder replaced when the problem was the head(replaced). The crankcase seal and the water pump replaced. Now I'm addressing the clutch.
The problems with the BV were 10% of the cost of the SH problems.
I have 25,000 miles on the commuter BV and I ride it like a scalded dog. Just the clutch difference, power and handling makes the BV worth the change.
The other important con is. The BV gets 60MPG but it uses premium gas that cost $0.50 more per gallon. Cost wise, the BV gets 40-50MPG. Half as much as the SH.
So why did I buy 2 BV's? It's a twist and go, it's comfortable and the more I ride the SH, the more I appreciate the BV.
