Re: talk me out of it
It's not my cup of tea but it does look good
Why not have both if you can. Life is too short

Re: talk me out of it
It looks somewhat like Honda Phantom 200. I think Daelim's earlier model was even more so (VT 125 Evolution).

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

Hmm, hard to know where to begin?
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: talk me out of it
My pros and cons
Pros
1:Looks cool
2:Bigger fuel capacity
3:Top speed but cant seeing it doing 87 mph maybe 75
4:Daelim make parts for honda so reliability should be good
5:Dealership is just up the road and can get parts within 24 hours if not in stock
Cons
1:Seat is lower that the one on my pcx
2:Might be too tall for it, I am 6ft 2
3:Less mpg fuelly says about 76 mpg

Re: talk me out of it
Is there a reason you are limited to 125cc? Seems silly having two 125's. I can understand having bikes of different size eg a big 750 cruiser for touring. That top speed is probably when downhill with wind behind and if you are a 30kg rider!

This will be a step up on to gears till I do my Direct Access Scheme, But not planing doing my DAS untill may 2014
Re: talk me out of it
Oh OK. we can learn on upto 650cc here but distances are bigger and traffic less. When I learnt in the UK in the late 70's it was a 250cc limit.

Re: talk me out of it
Yes the 250cc limit was changed some time ago!
You have to be 24 now to ride any motorbike without BHP restrictions.
Just by luck i took my test last year otherwise i wouldn't be able to ride my bike!
Honda made it easy to understand with these leaflets, but to me the new licensing just seems a headache!

Re: talk me out of it
I had 2 125s before i got my license, a CG125 and a CH125. Just because they have the same size engine no 125 drives the same as the next, iv ridden Honda Lead 110, CBR125R, CF125, CG125, CH125, PCX125 & a Yamaha Vity 125 and none are anywhere near the same to ride.
Now i got a NTV650 & PCX125, Its always nice to have a bike and a scooter, i hardly ever use the bike tho as i live in a town.

Re: talk me out of it
Might be off to leeds in the morning to check out the black plus & see if I can have a test ride
Sadly my local dealer doesn't have the black plus one in, Only a bright orange one
Thanks for all your answers
