New owner of a 2017 pcx 125 :D

Post by Jkitesurf »

Hi Everyone, just became a happy owner of a new 2017 125 pcx.
was living in thailand for the last 7 years, had thai driving licenses for 5 years, but only just passed UK tests so insurance over here is extremely expensive for everything other than scooters.

got a Drift stealth 2 mounted close to mirror (tempted to mount on helmet, but was told on the bike is better just incase your looking somewhere else when you need the footage)
i wouldnt normally bother , but my insurance policy has an excess of 1150 pounds ....


will be getting a Top Box when i go in for first service but havent decided which one yet. need one that will fit my laptop bag (or a waterproof backpack)

Oh, you got the fast colour, too. ;)
Is that a Honda Deauville across the road?

Congrats! The red looks sweet. Looking forward to getting mine next month. Not available in red in the states, so I'm getting the white which looks sweet too. Happy riding.

the other bike is my dads Triumph Trophy 1200, always preferred red color, sticks out more so no excuses from cars "i didn't see you"

It may be the fast colour, but we all know that white is the fastest colour. ;) :lol:

went shopping over the last week,
now have a cheap phone holder, locks, cover.

but my last question .... i bought a 2nd hand oxford cloth luggage set. got the tank bag, panniers, and bag for the back of bike.

any suggestions on how to best connect these ? i noticed alot of people using the oxford panniers and wanted to know if anyone had done anything special other than using the velcro.
