Hello from London!

Hello!
I recently purchased an ex-Dominos/delivery Honda Innova after finding C90s to be a tad overpriced. Besides, I wanted to ride a cub, not fix it on the kitchen table. So, my girlfriend and I are now enjoying regular bedtime reads of the Haynes manual (well I enjoy it anyway. I assume her putting the book in the bin a also a good sign?)
This post is a small hello but more of a warning that I'll probably ask stupid questions and have my mentality questioned by other forumites.
Have fun!

I love my Innova. I've had it since February but I am thinking about an SH300 when the insurance comes up for renewal. Around town, it's fantastic but I have a lot of fast country roads around me and could do with a bit more overtaking omph.

A warm welcome to you but with you and your girlfriend having regular bedtime reads together I think it will be us who will be asking the questions!
But seriously, you'll get all the help you'll need on here.

Camden? Is that where you're based? I'm just up the road in Finsbury Park. Shame you didn't get a Cub as I know more about them than I do Innovas.
Welcome anyway.

Hi
Glad you like your Jehovah
. I found the gearing on mine to be a tad high.....4th was very much an overdrive. Perhaps putting a front sprocket on with 1 less tooth,or a back one with 1 or 2 extra teeth will bring necessary perkiness......don't worry about over revving...the FI Jehovah has an electronic rev limiter

I was thinking I could do with a 5th gear. Mind you, I took a pillion for the first time today and found I had to work the gears more.

They are not overpriced, as they are still selling well. Basic economics, really. Demand outstrips supply and prices rise.
Welcome and enjoy the Jehovah.

I am enjoying the bike, despite being mocked and ridiculed by my mates (or soon to be ex-mates) it is becoming more common for me to ride the Innova instead of the Vision.
The bike is reasonably solid but has a slight gear change problem changing down from 3rd to 2nd, which from what i read here is due to "big booted learners and pizza boys stamping on the gear pedal and bending the selector forks". Apart from that, I'm certain it will get me around town.
