2010 vs 2022

Hi all I've owned a 2010 model PCX125 since January 2011, and I've just this month replaced it with a 2022 model. The first model was brand new from the Belfast Honda dealer at that time, and I've picked up the new one with 1700 miles from my local motorcycle mechanic and dealer in Lurgan, Dynes Mot...
