Page 3 of 3
Braking is excellent, the front is strong and overall stopping is surprisingly good, especially considering that a disc has yet to replace the rear drum. Honda have used a combined braking system where the left brake lever controls both front and rear brakes to give balanced braking performance. This combined braking system works well and would be a godsend in an emergency braking situation where you only manage to grab the left lever. The storage bin under the seat is a good size, swallowing my full-face helmet without any trouble. There is also a lockable miniature glove box in the front panel. The only other small complaints I have is the lack of an audible clicker on the turn signals, a small issue again but one of those things that make the riding experience a bit safer. Also I would have expected a side stand as standard, especially as a smaller person may have a bit of trouble getting this bike on it’s centre stand.
All in all Honda have built an imminently capable commuting machine in the Dylan 150. It is a scooter that is targeted at, and should appeal to a more “grown up†market of professional people. This machine’s minor negative points are almost irrelevant, because remember this is a tool, and for a combination of motorway and urban riding a superb tool for the job. I guess the proof of the pudding is in the fact that I really don’t want to give the test bike back I have grown very attached to it! Most importantly I avoided turning it into a road crayon or a plate of BBQ ribs.

What don't you get? Scooters here don't sell nearly as well as in Europe and the volume sales here just don't justify the investments Honda has to make to bring them here and maintain a working parts inventory. Simple formula: Big Sales=lower costs to manufacture and maintain a proper parts inventory. Low sales= higher costs to manufacture, no reason to maintain a large parts inventory and possibly even not worth the manufacturer bringing it here because of the investment.

From my dealings with Honda USA it sounds like their scooter lineup is coming in for a serious work over. If you are very lucky... and I have a sneaky suspicion (although they refuse to confirm or deny anything) that you will get the SH range which would be awesome as the SH300 is essentially the biggest selling scooter in parts of Europe including Italy and is a real gem. keep your eyes peeled.

I live in California and do not understand why Honda has NOT brought this type of scooter over here...They are all over in Europe because of their reliability and price,so you'd think with the experience Japanese companies have in producing these bikes they make them available in the US...Nope! Sorry but I don't get it... report abuse
