Totally agree. It seems a bit bizarre that they didn’t bring it over here. I think there’s definitely a market for them here.

I almost bought one of the ones shipped over by Seven Seas but it’s basically a Honda Innova 125 with the same top speed of about 60, the same tank size and range of 3.5L/120 miles. Though it’s much better looking with better clearance.

Would be a perfect lightweight muck about bike though 👍

Oh, now you’ve gone and done it, and asked for stats.

I’m what you might call particular (read: a bit anal) about logging every fuel fill on all my bikes 🤦🏼

Honda Innova 125.
Best mpg: 168.02 (a good steady long run mostly at around 40mph)
Worst mpg: 115.06 (using it whilst on-call at the hospital so lots of city, fast riding in the middle of the night)
Average mpg: 143.58 (taken over 11,000 miles)

To put it in perspective: when I rode around Europe in 2020, I did almost 2500 miles and it cost me less than £100 for the whole trip

Well, you did ask 😂😂😂

Yes, a bit of topic since it is a three wheeler and not an "adventure bike"
But it follows the concept Go Big and Ride Small.

Fitted a shower rack to my Innova today, thought it could be handy to store sandwiches and a small drink in whilst riding down to the Picos in April.
Just hope it’s not as wet as it’s been here in the past few weeks

Here is a petition to sign:

Apparently the engine has been changed and they are now Euro compliant - so perhaps they are on their way 👍
