The Forza may not have any impact on the PCX price, its a very different product.

I understand the premise that the Forza may get some current PCX owners to move up, making for more used PCXs on the market. I will be surprised if that affects the price of used scoots much.

Understanding the whole scooter thing better since owning one, the BV250 should be a good bike for you. We considered scooters with smaller wheels, but really preferred the ride and handling of the PCX. The 16" wheels on the BV250 are a plus.

Hope the plan all comes together for you.

Thanks Captain! You guys rock.

I will post pics of my xy-260 and my soon to be mine BV-250 when able.

Keep fighting the good fight folks!

i had a 2012 fly that I bought brand new in august 2012. It died on me in may. would just randomly stall out while I was riding. Went back and forth with the dealer and piaggio usa. They DID NOT stand by their product. It was THEE WORST experience I have ever had as a consumer. After going on a campaign against the store...they bought the bike back from me at a $700 loss.

i went and bought a PCX about 3 weeks ago. It absolutely KILLS last years FLY and I can't imagine the new one comparing either.

I just dusted a vespa lx150 this morning. I could hardly wait til my break in period was over

**the ONLY thing i preferred on the FLY was the step through. But I appreciate the PCX now without the step through. motorcycles give me props (not that I gave a damn)

I have a PCX 125 and love it! Just put over 360 miles on it riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and area Friday and Saturday. A Fly 150 sort of fell in my lap a couple of weeks ago. 14,000 miles on it, but runs like a top. Cost me an old generator out of a salvaged motor home and a weeks rent in my RV park. Not a bad bargain in my book. I want to ride it a bit more after mounting fresh tires and do a comparison of the two scoots soon.
Both make me grin and either one would provide the OP a good time.
Right now, I would say the PCX is certainly a higher grade scoot. Performance is pretty close. Used Flys may come at a better price than a PCX but the small premium for the Honda might be worth it.
Sorry to hear musaee had a bad experience with his FLY.
My first good ride on the Fly....
