SH 300 is made in Italy and it's an expensive scooter to buy if you want it just for a commuter.
On the other hand with some proper modifications to cut the wind off your chest it can be a great traveller too.
It can travel constantly to highway keeping a safe 130-140 km/h speed and the average consumption is 3,25 - 3,5 l/100 kms (3,5-4 in the city).
Equipped with compined ABS system it really can save from difficult situetions and slippery - bad roads.
The servicing is sheap and can be done by yourself easily.
Tires are cheap enough comparing to a bigger bike and generally you can do everything with low cost and that was the goal i aimed when i bought it.
Prise here is from 4.750 euros to 5.500 depending on the way of payment and the modell.
How much does PCX 125 cost in Thai ?
I payed here for a brand new 2015 modell i bought for my daughter 2.500 euro cash beacause i'm a very old HONDA customer. The prise of the catalog is 2.700 euros.
The only disantavantage of both of them (SH and PCX )is that the plastics of the fairing cost too much and my daughetrs allready from her first ride has some scratches to the right side (newbie rider
).
