Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda SH350i 2021
Apart from the somewhat grimmer-looking LED headlights, the main difference between the new SH350i and the SH300i is the new, 50-cubic larger engine. This makes the SH350i even more agile than the already amazingly nimble SH300i. The handling is as stable as you would expect from the big wheels, yet pleasantly manageable and, above all, very comfortable. The practical Smart Key system remains, new are the HSTC traction control as a "safety net" and the full LCD instruments that make the 350 SH a smart evolution of the SH300i.
Vespa GTS 300 hpe Super Tech 2020
The Vespa GTS 300 Super Tech is the most modern Vespa on the market and is characterised above all by its powerful yet pleasantly running engine. The TFT display is also an asset. However, the Vespa app still needs a little work, as there is still potential here in terms of connectivity. The cornering behaviour can also be improved in longer bends. But if you want to be stylish and a little sporty in the city, you can't go wrong with the Vespa GTS 300 Super Tech.
