Did about 40 miles on the PCX. That was a giggle. Wouldn't want to do more than say 100 miles with a few stops in a day.
Went to Honda Chester on it.
Saw a Honda SH125i in frost white. Looked nice so bought one. 4 to 6 weeks delivery.......he said, hahaha, so might get it for Christmas.
Anyone want to buy a PCX.

I guess the lack of power is a big part when it comes to distance, that's what I found with the Grom, Ok for short stuff but a bit laborious on longer rides..... is there much difference between the PCX and SH ?

Oh and i looked at the specs of the PCX 350 and It weighed the same as my MT09 which was a bit of a surprise, to be fair though, it did look like a good package especially for local and town work......

As for power there is almost nowt in it. The SH has very slightly more.
The SH is not as stylish as the PCX but is physically a larger bike yet only 5Kgs heavier.
It also has larger wheels so a bit more stable. It is a "step through" as apposed to a leg over And the most important thing is one can carry a box of beer on the platform whereas on the PCX it's not possible.

Always fancied a "twist and go" run-around , but then I don't use the bike I've got enough .

CC, you would use the scoot a hell of a lot more. Just make sure you use your full face helmet and a different jacket so you are not recognised. I do
In fact to be honest they can be fun even with only 12 BHP...................honest.

Sounds like you're trying to sell the scooter to me .
Small deposit and then interest free monthly instalments okay ?

I still laugh about a scooter encounter in Spain.
About 5 or 6 of us... approach a roundabout... happens to be a scooter on it... with a dog on the back, leaning as it goes around.
We happen to take the wrong exit, so go around again and pass said scooter, which also has 2 dogs on the footplate.
Brilliant
