Not sure but not as much as the Forza 125, which is more powerful.

Fast enough for round town or country lanes..
Not fast enough for motorways or major A-roads

Re: Pcx 125 abs
Had mine nearly three months now and found the following, speedo= 70mph/gps=65mph, to get to the top speed you need any of these in your favour,either down hill,following wind,long road etc.
I find that as stated,in town and country lanes it keeps up easily with traffic,its acceleration from traffic lights etc,is excellent.
On dual carriageways it will hold 55mph which is usually fine for the slow lane,but overtaking needs care and planning.
Not experienced a motorway on a 125,and never want to.
If you change your expectations,enjoy being able to appreciate its other attributes,then this is a first class machine. If you want power and speed,then this is not for you. In today's traffic with the incredibly expensive and long winded route to a full motorcycle licence, I can fully understand the desire for more power from a 125,but there are skills to actually make your journey quicker,if that's what you want,

Re: Pcx 125 abs
I totally agree with you....pcx 125 is a daily scooter for the town only....but here in greece we have 2lane autoroute and i would like to know if the pcx have the ability to go with constant 100-110 km/h speed as i did with my previous pcx 150cc scooter....

That's because it's a scooter.
Re: Pcx 125 abs
No, its because it only has a 125cc engine.you you wrote:gn2 wrote:Fast enough for round town or country lanes..

Bigger scooters are fine on motorways.

Constant 100-110kph on a PCX 125 in standard trim, absolutely not unless you have a tailwind or its downhill.autosignaljohn1 wrote:I totally agree with you....pcx 125 is a daily scooter for the town only....but here in greece we have 2lane autoroute and i would like to know if the pcx have the ability to go with constant 100-110 km/h speed as i did with my previous pcx 150cc scooter....
The most I ever saw indicated on my 125 PCX speedo was 67mph which is about 108kph.
Real speed would have been less.

Re: Pcx 125 abs
Hi,
2015 PCX 125 fastest I saw on speedo was 67
2018 PCX 125 (ABS) fastest on speedo 73 (no GPS verification of either top speed so both lower in reality)
it has gone from 11bhp to 12bhp
Can't recomend a PCX for motorways, you will rarely reach 70 and usually only downhill, it is very unpleasant to have a truck tailgating you as your speed gets nearer to 60 on steep hills
I commute on an A road, 60mph speed limit but the road passes through several places where the speed limit drops to 40 or 30 so it's not such an issue
Only take your PCX on the motorway if you know there is a nose to tail traffic jam, you pass hundreds of cars which are essentially parked or moving at walking speed

Re: Pcx 125 abs
I've done three 100 mile motorway trips on my 2018 PCX. It's not really fun, at all! Especially in heavy rain (which is a nightmare).
I've seen 71 a couple of times going downhill but it's not designed for those kind of speeds. However, on 60mph roads it is very capable.
It might be more comfortable with a touring screen but they don't appear to be available in the UK yet and shipping from the East is too prohibitive.
