“Superb machine”
Written on: 17/06/2013 by Mysterysong (3 reviews written)
Having previously owned a SH125 and PS125, I felt it was time to move up to the SH300 and my word, am I glad I did. The SH30 is a cracking machine with real pace and I also find it handles superbly ( I speak as a motorcyclist too). I find the larger wheeled scooter so much more stable and easier to ride than the smaller wheel of the PS125 or similar.I'm 5'10'' and can easily flat foot when at lights and I also find the riding position good for me but check it out if you're taller Build is...

“Honda SH300i - An ideal city commuter.”
Written on: 26/04/2013
I have just traded in my Honda SH300i (for a Honda NC700s) after 5 year of happy ownership. I purchased the bike in the spring of 2008 after doing a lot of research and would highly recommend the SH300i for anyone wanting a good all round commuter. The performance is good, with plenty of power for the size of the machine and a reasonable top speed of about 90 mph. The acceleration is swift, handling good and stopping excellent due to the Honda combined-ABS set up. The bike is good on fuel... (read more)

“Nice, nimble bike, but has serious rust problems”

I have had my bike since June 2008 where it spend most of its overnight time in a garage, and have now 17000 miles on it. Good points: - The Honda SH300i is a brilliant city commuter as it has the small size and nimbleness of a 125cc scooter, like a Vespa, but has enough power to easily keep up with the traffic on motorways. Furthermore it is extremely stable at any speeds, and the only problem I have had is strong wind buffeting when driving behind a lorry or van on a motorway and side... (read more)

Bought this scooter about two weeks ago for a 15 mile commute each way on a mixture of country roads , motorway and inner city . Great little bike . I'm 6 2" tall and don't have any problems at all with legroom but have just ordered a givi airflow sliding screen to help reduce the wind buffing once I hit 50mph. Got 160 mile from my first tank and it will get better . It's hard not to accelerate quickly on this little bike as it goes like a rocket from the lights leaving car drivers and... (read more)

“The Fastest way to commute in London”

Had it for 3 years. If you want to know how good it is. Try find a second hand one. 0-60 is about that of a Porsche Boxster, only difference is 72cm across handlebars (widest point). max speed 95mph. gives 70-80mpg depending on average speed. Like all scooter weight distribution is wrong (specialliy when you trade a CBR 600 for it).

I was unlucky enough to buy a sh300i in 2009. Soon afterwards the bike starting stalling, putting me in danger on several occasions. HONDA first told me that it was a problem with the air intake control valve, after several attempts to solve it I was given a 2009 model in December 2009 because they admitted they had had several reported faults with the 2008 and didnot know how to sorted.

I had to same issue with my new 2008 SH300i stalling whilst at lights and during idle speed after i'd owed it for a few years. I reported it to Honda and they gave me a brand new 2011 SH300i to replace it without any issue.
Doesn't sound like you had a very good experience from Honda which is regrettable but I must say that I think your comments regarding how it put your life in danger are a bit dramatic. I had this issue for several months and I altered my riding to compensate. I think if you felt in danger the responsibility was really on you to stop riding the scooter while you sorted this out.
In general I think the SH300i is a fantastic scooter, very nibble, very easy to ride, good storage and the perfect commuter vehicle for a busy city.

Had mine for 3 years. All models have similar fault which is Engine cuts out at tickover.
On mine it happened twice in 3 years!! at 2mph --- it killed me lol--
They had a recall for entire range in jan 2012 and changed ECU. New ECU has pulsing tickover.
Probably to shut Mr Baby pants here.
You want danger try the SAS, although that might actually kill you

“Great scooter for solo or two-up riding!”
Written on: 28/09/2011 by Dailyrider (1 review written)
Five months ago I traded in my very reliable 4-year old SH125i for a new Sh300i because I wanted more power when riding two-up. When away from home, my wife & I often tow our scooter on a trailer behind our car and use it as a run around so we don't have to find a car park space or pay exhorbitant fees in crowded holiday towns! It carries us both perfectly & isn't troubled overmuch by steep hills (unlike the SH125 which sometimes struggled). I use the scooter every day for commuting 7 miles... (read more)

The first thing I should mention is that I am 6'4" and weigh 15 stone plus in riding gear;so some comments will need to be read with this in mind.

A great scooter if you don't use it too much!
Bought it almost new in 2008. 3 years and 25000 miles later, the engine broke down on the motorway at 75 mph. As a result, a new engine was needed (the engine rod were damaged). The bike has been serviced every 4000 miles and slept indoor.
As I was just 1 year out of warranty, I contacted Honda to see if they were happy to replace the engine as I believe it is a defect.
The only response was a NO and that it was quite a high mileage for a...

This little scooter is an absolute hoot to ride. Bought for commuting in traffic that would stall my touring bike, I love its nippiness and responsiveness. It will turn on a sixpence and is ideal for threading through dense traffic, where it averages 80+ mpg. I have added it to my bike insurance for £44 per year - result!

Honda SH300i bought for commuting to work all year round.

Expensive to buy new but compared to the increasing cost of all manufactures it doesn't look to bad at present.Footboards very small and difficult for those with large feet. Underseat storage to small and wont take a Caberg flip lid. Fuel tank to small. Self servicing will be an issue as with other Hondas I've owned panels...

I didn't see the optional Honda alarm as good value for money, so bought a 2metre Almax chain + Squire padlock combo, which fits nicely under the seat when on the move (NB: 1.5 metre is too short to secure a rear wheel to a lamp post when the top box is fitted).

This review highlights lots of bad points I have not noticed after one year of use. I can only agree with the complaint of engine cutouts for no apparent reason. That happened to me four times in about 2000 miles. It usually occurs on deceleration before stopping and it is potentially dangerous. I didn't tell the mechanics to avoid bumping up servicing costs. Obviously I'd rather get run over than paying even more.

Mike On The Move's Comment
Written on: 25/04/2011
One of the few logical reasons this bike will experience an engine cut-out is if the oil pressure drops, at which time, the engine cuts out to protect itself (and in theory, the oil pressure warning light comes on). Perhaps if the oil level is marginal, the engine might, cut but the oil pressure warning light could extinguish itself before being noticed. If you experience the problem again, just check your oil level. Be aware, the level is checked with the dipstick unscrewed and just resting in the mount, not screwed down in the closed position. Hope this helps...

I recently purchased a Honda SH300i to compliment my less-practical motorcycle collection and I can safely say that it doesn't disappoint. I live in Birmingham (UK) so inner-city ability was of paramount importance and for what the scooter is designed to be, it is by all practical purposes, perfect.
The best way that I can describe the SH is that it is like a 125 for people who are used to big bikes. It handles incredibly easily and predictably (I'm guessing the sh125 is even better, yet...

Thanks to all for the positive comments over the years.
I still have this scooter (possibly the best recommendation there is?) but my mileage on it is fairly light, mostly as it is spread across four vehicles.
As a small update, I would estimate that I have achieved around 58mpg over the scooter's lifetime so far. Given fuel prices these days, and that Honda are beginning to focus on improving fuel economy across its range (such as the NC700S) - I would say that this is the only genuine improvement they could effect. If an urban 75mpg was likely rather than merely possible, the SH300i would stay highly competitive.
As a final note, the SH has poor security on its ignition barrel, although I shan't note this as a negative as all scooters suffer from this. Two attempted thefts has left me with many bills repairing the ignition. As a premium urban runaround, Honda possibly should use their excellent motorbike security for their next revision.

Just wanted to mention that I've had some troubles with the SH300. It's a great scooter to drive and good quality finishings but I've experienced many instances of it stalling for no reason in a traffic light or when stopping acceleration.
<br/>
<br/>Brought this to the attention of my dealer as it became quite dangerous at some point (it would do it twice a day, and then not do it until a week later, very random). After a few months of bringing the bike to the mechanic a few times and many internal checks (they could not find where the problem was) then honda told them that they were investigating this issue and that there had been some other instances of SHs stalling. They suggested it could be a software/usage problem but nothing more specific.
<br/>
<br/>So if your SH stalls, know that this is not normal and that other people are having the same problem. There may be a fault with some of the units although Honda will not recognise this (clearly it is not normal that a new bike - or any bike - cuts out for no reason whilst you are riding it).

Thought about getting a Yamaha Black Max or Silverwing but glad I plumped for the Honda SH300i - as it is perfectly balanced for its 300cc engine size - no ungainly fairings to get in the way when filtering. Also it is not trying to be a motorbike. Looks clearly like a scooter - especially good with the windscreen. It is the near perfect machine for commuting in London along busy dual carriageways and city roads. It should be ok on the motorway... (read more)

Excellent in the city - best performance of the (rather) small scooters (passing waiting cars is legal in Austria). Quality seems Honda-typical good (cannot say that much after 9 month). 135 km/h. Brakes and ABS very good. Engine starts at +35 C just as at -15 C - press button once. Good start, room for improvements. (read more)

Good scooter for general use. I bought the standard windshield and fitted it as an extra, it worked well but it seemed to reflect the engine noise a lot. I got over this by having it carefully cut down so that it came to just below my eyeline. This did the trick and i still got good wind protection. (read more)

After riding motorcycles for many years, I'm at the age where I needed something a little lighter. We have a motorhome and tow the bike on a trailer, but my last motorbike. a Yamaha 600 was getting too awkward and heavy to push on and off the trailer. The Honda. Although not in the same league as a 600 motorcycle for performance, is still very nippy and great fun. It has genuine motorway capabilities with its top speed and easy cruising. The ride is quite jerky compared with a motorbike, but... (read more)

I had the optional screen and handguards fitted to my Honda SH300i after two weeks. You have to get used to looking through the high screen, and regular cleaning is required to maintain clear vision. The protection is very good. The bike seems much more noisy with the screen fitted and the top speed is reduced to 80mph by the drag. (read more)
