Nearing 4.000 km on it, since October of last year. Been riding it on a daily basis throughout the winter, including the 2 or 3 snowy days. I'm very happy with it, it's a great machine for a beginner. Very easy to maneuver in traffic, not powerful enough to get you in trouble when you do stupid things but powerful enough to quickly get you out of tight spots when you need it to. Also, no mechanical problems whatsoever, so far. But using it as a touring scooter... I don't know. On the rare occasions I got above 90km/h I have to say it depended a lot on the wind speed and direction if I had a pleasant ride or a scary one. I have the medium windscreen, but the problem is not the front wind, but the side one. Because the rider position is so high and upright - which is great for the city - this also makes you subject to serious exposure to side wind at speeds above 70-80 km/h, which can knock you around pretty bad. So, having had these experiences, I chose not to use it for trips outside the city. Otherwise, again, awesome scooter, I couldn't have gotten a better deal for this money.

@@catalingioacas452 hello my friend ,the only problem was my front disc brake because I had a very strange wavy kind of braking , after I changed this I mean the front disc, everything is ok. Is a very good and powerfull scooter with big tyres ,good suspensions according to the scooter limitations , a lot of space so you can carrying a lot of things ,I'm sure that you're gonna love it!!!

It is a great scooter, easy to get around the crowded city. The only two downsides are: there is no space for XL helmet under seat and it doesn't have space to rest feet on 45 degree for long journey. Great little toy, easy and cheap to service :)

Hi Alex, greetings from a happy HD300-driver! I have four scooters, 300, 350 and 400cc, but the HD is my favorite of all of them. OK, the front brake is a little bit weak. But the weight is not so hight, it have a very comfortable seat and handlebar position and very straight/stable and comfortable suspension. And the mirrors are realy good!
