What sort of mileage are you guys at??

[V4 TRV]

This thread may have been done before but probably worth an update anyway

I'd be curious to see who has the ighest mileage and any problems if any.

Im at 750 but that's after only 4 weeks

Hi, I'm at around 1600 miles from new in mid-July. My useage consists of general running around town or into Brighton or Worthing (around 6 miles in either direction) to a 29 mile commute to Gatwick Airport when there are no trains (ie very early mornings)
Most of the time I have free rail travel so make use of that. The biggest effect on my motoring budget is that I don't use my 4x4 pickup anywhere near as much as I did. I can foresee the annual mileage on that coming down to 3000 miles or even less. As it's nearly paid for I'll keep it as it's so handy with the heavy building work that's being done at home, or odd jobs at the stepson's farm. For the most part any light errands are done with the PCX, it's just so easy to hop on and run into town.

Only got 13,000 miles on after two years but due to an extreme winter and health reasons I didn't use mine for almost nine months.
Currently clocking 280ish miles a week commuting to work.

[Urbanian]

850 miles since early August.

My Honda was purchased to reduce mileage on a big van,… and for fun. Now that the weather has cooled, recreational use has fallen off sharply. I’ll probably ride a bit more if my windshield ever shows up.

I expect 3000 miles annual usage going forward.

[janwer]

200 km after one week.

[Cracksta]

on approx 650 after a month and just had a first service.

Think i'll be doing close to 7k a year on this, winter doenst stop me but ice and snow does!

7000 miles. I haven't ridden much lately, my wife started commuting with me, so I've been commuting in our Honda Pilot with her instead of the PCX. It doesn't help that I bought a Silverwing too -- I've put over 2000 miles on the Silverwing since I bought it, the PCX has gotten under 500 miles in that time.

I have grown to despise the Silverwing though, we're going to keep it to do our trip up the East coast next spring, then I'm selling it immediately. It handles worse than my PC800 did, isn't as stable as the PCX at any speed, and gets only 50mpg. It's comfy as hell though, it's like riding a recliner down the highway.

The Silverwing (2003) currently has 24k miles, and my wife's 2006 Genuine Buddy 125 has 14k miles.

I am at 1750 km, (think it`s about 1100 miles ?) We bought the bike in June 2012.

[jasontheparamedic]

I'm at around 9500 mile mark now. I've had the PCX around 11 months now.

Does it have decent tyres?
Have you checked that the fork oil is fresh and the correct amount and viscosity?
Are the rear shocks on the correct pre-load setting?
Are the fork seals and shock seals intact?
If they're not leaking it can be there's no oil left in them...
Head, swingarm, wheel bearings OK?

[maddiedog]

Does it have decent tyres? -- New Bridgestone Hoops when I bought it, front and rear. Pressure is good too.
Have you checked that the fork oil is fresh and the correct amount and viscosity? -- I serviced the forks when I bought it too, they're working as expected. A seal was gone, and both were low, so new seals were required.
Are the rear shocks on the correct pre-load setting? -- The shocks are adjustable, I find the setting "5" performs the best. Anything below that is too cushy.
Are the fork seals and shock seals intact? -- Yes, see 2nd question.
If they're not leaking it can be there's no oil left in them... -- They're dampening and rebounding like they should. I'm fairly sure they're still holding oil, I haven't noticed any leaks, and they've been substantially better since I serviced them.
Head, swingarm, wheel bearings OK? -- I think so, the swingarm and wheel bearings are definitely good, I checked those. The steering is consistent and doesn't float, so I doubt there's a problem in the head bearings either.

The PC800 had a shorter wheelbase with larger tires than the Silverwing, which I think is a lot of it. The aerodynamics while riding the Silverwing leave a bit to be desired too -- I could probably have smoked a cigar on the PC800, the wind was diverted so well. With the stock Silverwing windshield, I was blasted all over by air. The largest-size Clearview shield helped some, but I still get hit with more air than I do even on my PCX.

I'm about to turn 500 miles, I've had it about a month... I use it primarily to ride to work which is only 4 miles away, and to the weekly scooter night meet ups and rides which is about a total of about 30-40 miles. No problems, except that I find the parking brake almost useless. The Burgman has 10,000 miles after 9 months of ownership... I just had the rear tire replaced and the 3rd oil change done. As with all of the Japanese vehicles I've owned, especially the Hondas, there are no worries or drama... just start and go.

[philvb]

I'm at 78, but have only had it two weeks.

[Keebler Dwarf]

Nearing 1000, bought it in July and am mainly using it for very short distance commuting. It's my only motorized vehicle, so I intend to use it as long as there's no snow or ice on the road.

[scisor34]

I've had my 150 since mid Sept, 2,845mi. I commute about 280 miles a week, I've driven my car 3 times since I purchased the PCX. lol Nothing but good things to say about it.

[auerbacs]

I've just completed 6000 miles on my PCX 150 which I've had since July. I commute a little over 60 miles per day. Today was my coldest commute yet as it was 15 degrees fahrenheit on my morning commute. The $200 snowsuit I bought off Amazon combined with a lot of layering under it, two balaclavas and decent winter gloves (and liners) keeps me warn enough. As long as there isn't snow or ice on the roads here in Wisconsin, I think it'll do fine. I have a tall Givi windscreen coming via Fedex any day now, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm hoping there are no complications putting it on the PCX 150, given that it was designed for the 125. I'm really hoping it redirects the wind away from my gloves effectively, as that's probably my coldest area (besides maybe my nose...).

I'm really happy with the bike overall. One thing I would say is that the advertised fuel economy is a bit misleading. Granted, riding the bike at full throttle two hours a day isn't going to get the best economy, but I still think the 70-75 mpg I get is a lot further off the advertised number than I would have expected. It's a bit trivial I suppose, as it means I pay a little under $4 per day for gas instead of $3.50.

I should also mention that I can only get up to 65mph on it on really smooth highways, or downhill, obviously. That said, I've never had any trouble maintaining 55mph, which is the minimum I'd feel comfortable driving on my mostly state highway commute.

If its anything like mine, it will do better fuel mileage when the weather warms up.

My car is the same.

Now at 1600 miles and no probs at all - this wee bike rocks

[HawaiiJ]

I just hit 8000 km here in Thailand and over this time the MPG has seemed to creep up a bit (happy with this) since the purchase in March.

Also gone through mods to the tires, wheels, shocks, exhaust twice (back to the original), seat twice, windscreen & GPS/Phone mounts. I think I'm done with the changes and will continue to rack the mileage with a few longer trips in the upcoming months.
