That doesn't fit in with the reputation of these Honda engines.
Dunno in how many miles he did that, but to me it looks like an indication that this engine set-up is not the best option. Craig's Helix also gets beaten by its competitors, so it's not the most efficient set-up either.
The
first-choice machine you want to ride is not the one where you have to worry about ruining the engine ...
Seems to me that regular, small displacement motorcycle engines do better, and better take the strain, whereas the scooter engine is overcharged in these conditions that don't really fit in with expected scooter use.
We also have a naked CB125cc - so no 'R - in Europe.
That might be even better to start with.
