Evening all,

After much watching of adds for a PCX that is sub £1500, not black & not monster miles, I picked one up locally yesterday.

One learner owner who clearly didn't care much for it but less than 2 years old and only 8000 miles (are they easily clocked by the way?).

It's not pretty as it has marks to both sides where it has been dropped. It does however ride in a straight line at 60 & runs like a dream.

Needs a little TLC but otherwise I'm very pleased with it.

Trying to attach a picture now, bear with me....

Thanks you you,

It doesn't stand up to close inspection, the various body gouges look like they have been touched in with a dab of Dulux!

At the moment I'm just enjoying riding the thing.

Moved the seat hump back about an inch yesterday & getting used to it. 8)

Welcome Blubayou :P the plastics that are damaged/scratched can be replaced. The cost here in the States is cheap. I'm not sure of your prices, but it's an option to fix if you care to spiff her up to new.
By the way, I love the White :D

Cost of panels here is a lot more than in the US and import charges from Thailand add quite a bit of cost.

We try not to crash, and if we do, we nail the other person for the costs if we can.
