I like that Indy, well said!

Congrats Tom and good on you for taking your CBT! Let me guess.....Black?

Red actually, dealer said black was in demand at the moment, had all the other colours in though.

Guessed wrong, okay. So Really

black in demand? I thought it to be the Red. Ah, but what do I know

Red would have been my second choice. A fine color it is!

yeah whether it meant I would just have to order in a black one im not sure, I wanted either a red or silver one anyway. the new green looks awful!

Whites the fastest.

^ Agree!

Is the green Really a green color? Or a bluish? Doubt we'll ever see that in the states anyway. gn2 loves that color

Saw one of the greeney-bluey ones recently, its like grey with a bit of a tint.
Not impressed.
Red or white are the ones to go for imo.

What colour was Street Hawk? Black.. Therefore black is the ONLY colour for a bike..

Google it if you've not seen it...

I love the bike, apart from the hump! do need to buy a new seat. not far off its first service. strange thing happened the other day I was coming down the hill on the lane and almost came to a stop while a car came past I then released the brake and rolled down but it was as if the bike was in neutral and picked up some speed, applied a touch of throttle and it lurched back into gear. is this just how the gearbox works? I didnt think it disengaged drive

You can read about the lurch that all belt driven scooters do here:

No gearbox by the way!

Getting near my 600 mile service, every bike shop I have phoned has next 3 weeks booked up. Should I change the oil myself?

Sure, there is even a thread on how to do it on this forum. Check out the "How to" area.

If you ever changed oil on a car or motorcycle, this is much easier.

Here's how:

Do they do anything else at first service I wasn't going to bother getting valves done this time even if I could of got it into the honda main dealer.

First service involves the final stage of manufacturing quality control, everything on the scooter is supposed to be checked thoroughly for security and correct adjustment/operation.
It is probably the most important service your scooter will ever have.
