All Honda SCV Reviews
Honda SCV 100cc Sept '06 (56)
Overall Rating:
Review
Honda, the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, are moving away from producing two-stroke units because of concerns over noise and ‘blue smoke’ air pollution. On sale for £1,399.00, Honda’s popular SCV Lead is a small capacity scooter which is powered by a clean and quiet forced air-cooled 102cc four-stroke SOHC engine. The Lead combines a dependable engine with a chassis that gives practical and enjoyable riding at affordable cost. The Lead’s attractive and streamlined styling features a sharply angled front end which integrates a multi-reflector headlight and large, highly visible indicators. A small position lamp is built into the headlamp unit and this remains on whenever the engine is running to enhance rider safety during daylight hours.

The instrument panel incorporates an easy-to-read speedometer, all the usual indicator lights and a useful fuel level gauge. The Lead is also easy to maintain. Five bolts hold the body and these can easily be removed allowing the body to tilt up and back which gives you easy access to all the engine’s maintenance points. If more access is required the whole body is be lifted off with ease.

The Lead’s front suspension offers confident handling and excellent control when cornering while an oil damper suspension system soaks up bumps on the road admirably. The rear swingarm suspension includes a single spring-loaded rear damper which gives a smooth ride and means that this scooter is excellent for long-distance riding. Two can be carried in comfort on its roomy tandem seat and there’s a convenient bag hook mounted under its front edge. If you need to carry more, there’s a robust tubular steel carrier located behind the seat for large parcels. Available in Force Silver Metallic, Candy Tahitian Blue or Candy Blazing Red, the Honda SCV 100 Lead is well-built, as you’d expect from Honda, and without doubt, one of the strongest contenders in its class.
