Been lurking around this site for a while now, ever since I was researching which scooter/bike to get.
I needed another mode of transport as the wife's new job meant she needed the car and I was fed up with running a cheap second car which inevitably needs loads spending on it. And I had always hankered after a scooter, but was hoping for something like a Vespa PX, but they're slow, thirsty, and rust prone.
I sort of narrowed it down to a PCX 125 or Honda CBF 125, I had had a Suzuki A100 and a Yamaha RXS100 in my younger years and liked riding a geared bike on a taster session so much that I didn't want to rule out a geared bike.
Anyways, long story short, I did my CBT on October 19 last year after buying a lovely white PCX from a chap in our village. It was registered May 2012, had 2100 miles on it and he had done 300 miles on it since buying it from the Honda dealer where I did my CBT. It had been serviced at 1800 miles when he bought it and was the dealers since new.
Chap also threw in a helmet, gloves, jacket, trousers and Givi box, (hardly used in the 300 summer miles he had done) so I was good to go.
Been commuting to work everyday since Oct 21 last year, 16 mile round trip. It's been down to around 2 centigrade a couple of mornings, but I don't get cold on the 20 min journey and wind chill isn't a problem at my pootling speeds

Thanks for all the tips and pointers that persuaded me to choose the PCX, I'm really pleased with it and can't wait for some summer scoot'ing!
