Is it legal to own a Honda scooter in Italy? I would think it would have to be a Vespa or Piaggio? ;)

Welcome! You are going to LOVE your PCX!

Actually i don't like the new Piaggio vespa... I only like the old school one... like the primavera 125, but you can't find it new, and i don't trust used vehicles...

Hi David,
looks great! Did you feel any notable change with the YSS shocks? What about the exhaust? Did that change much. Did you buy it because of its looks or sound or anything else?
Best wishes,
Klaus

Yes... nice touch on the rear deck carbon fiber. Once went through a whole roll of that unsuccessfully and vowed never to try again so you have skills :)

The scoot feels sticked to the road now, i can go faster on the corners without losing too much stability, riding in 2 it's much better since it doesn't bottom out.
The Exhaust it's an aesthetic mod, the powerband without db killer is shifted to the high revs, now i can easily reach 120km/h, before it i had quicker acceleration but the speedo was stuck at 108km/h.
