if your tall then the sh 125 is the one I'd go for, upright riding position, big wheels, and a fantastic engine.

Go for a Piaggio Fuoco and never put a foot down again.

If your daring enough learn how to powerslide them in the wet :D

My mate JT was a Piaggio dealer in St Albans.

"Have you ridden a Fuoco?"

"Not yet."

Throws me a set of keys, "Take that one out for an hour. Just be careful of idiots as it's my ex demo and it's sold."

"You mean don't crash it, yeah?"

"You'll never crash it. Try getting the front end to break traction coming out of roundabouts ... it won't!"

That Fuoco is a weird looking thing.

My hip tends to hurt in the feet forward position. If it allowed me to fully extend my leg id be fine. The only one I've tried that allowed that was the massive 600 Yamaha.
