I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

When I got the PCX if this version of the Lead had been available I would probably have bought one.

I used to have the 110cc version (NHX110) for a few years. It was possibly the best scooter I ever had -- until SH300, that is. The only problem was top speed (around 80 km/h slow). I really loved the flat floorboard and the ample storage. And it was dirt cheap.

Here's a photo:

Scootersales.com (Australia) has this to say:
The 125 cc engine from the PCX is one of the best lower capacity scooter engines available. Add in mega storage, a small easy to manage chassis and typical Honda build quality. Performance would be exceptional given its size and the Lead has even been fitted with a clock on the dash.

I also had an NHX110 before I got my PCX. It was a great scoot, the PCX150 is better though. If they put the 153 cc motor into the Elite, I might go back.

I had an Elite 110 early on too & it was a great scoot. Even two up, we could keep it above 50 mph, its rev limiter was set at 53. A very fun little bike and very powerful for a 108cc.
