January 21, 2009 - The new Honda SH300i introduces a whole new level of style and elegance to the scooter market.

Combining cutting edge design with the thrilling performance of a sports bike, Honda has created one of the most attractive commuters on two wheels.

The SH300i has the strongest acceleration in its class, thanks to its compact and powerful 279cc fuel-injected engine.

Incredibly fuel efficient, the SH300i also releases low emissions due to its cutting edge catalytic converter system.

The SH300i was designed and manufactured in Italy to provide a luxurious commute for riders of all sizes, and comfortably caters for long rides.

Easily seating two, the scooter features a contoured stepped seat and roomy step-through floorboard for plenty of legroom.

The large 16 inch aluminium wheels allow for responsiveness and complete control at high speeds.

The combined disc brakes provide a smooth balance of performance for easy, controlled braking operation.

While style and comfort will make it hard to stop riding the SH300i, the 35 litre rear top box and nine litre fuel tank mean that there will always be an excuse to keep going.

Stress-free to park and cheap to run; the SH300i is an extremely fun way to cut costs.

The SH300i comes in Velvet Red Metallic and Pearl Montana Blue, and is available from Honda motorcycle dealers across the country for $8,990 RRP (includes GST, excludes on road costs).
