Re: Curse You HONDA!!!

It like a PCX after a long course of steroids!

Nice, but there are a heck of a lot of used cars around for £4k. Still better for mpg though, and if you like new things over old then its lovely. After all a Yamaha X-Max 125 is around 4k, with could make the Forza a real winner (or about £6k?).

Re: New member - planning to get a UK PCX125 - advice?

@kramnala58: I'm collecting it next weds the 19th, its about 50-60 miles back depending on the route. I may take "detours" without a GPS shining in my face. Its a standard white one, but 2013 and mine. I'll post some pics once I get it home. Anyone know what the differences were with the &...

Re: New member - planning to get a UK PCX125 - advice?

Well I saw a good one yesterday (oops - Wednesday), test rode it a couple of miles, and left a deposit on it. Topbox being installed by the dealer; a Givi E300B. Collect it next weds as I need to wait for a day off. It'll be a longish ride home, over 60 miles I think.

Re: Anyone got a Caberg Duke Helmet? Does it fit?

So I tried a Caburg Duke Large in the PCX underseat. It is possible to close the lid, but you have to put a bit of tension on it to do so. I thought this was a problem as: It can't be too good to have the catch/hinges under constant pressure. It can't be to good to have helmet under constant pressur...

Re: Anyone got a Caberg Duke Helmet? Does it fit?

Thanks guys. No fighting! :-P I hope to check it today.

Ben - what box did you get? Does it look "a bit too big" as in very practical but looks gigantic? In some pictures the largest boxes dwarf the scooter.

Anyone got a Caberg Duke Helmet? Does it fit?

Hi, Does a Caburg Duke size L fit in the underseat storage? Its a modular flip up helmet. I got the helmet Saturday and am looking for a PCX. If it doesn't fit then I probably need to factor a top box into my budget/haggling. ;) I'm obviously going to try this on a real scooter if I can find one tha...

Re: New member - planning to get a UK PCX125 - advice?

Thanks guys. I've been really busy this week, but this was all an excellent response and even the serious debating didn't draw any blood! On this basis the PCX does still look a suitable vehicle for my route. Most of it is 30/40mph or 40/50mph limits depending on the route I take. To work is about 1...

New member - planning to get a UK PCX125 - advice?

Hi Everyone, I've been aiming to get a PCX125 in the UK for a few months now. I intend to use it for commuting to and from work. I completed my UK CBT session last week, with a certificate that gives me permission to ride solo with L-plates for two years. The CBT included half a day on a Honda GS125...
