I found this stuff quite interesting to read.
High level explanations of the some of the technology used in the PCX: decompression feature, swing-back, efficiency improvements, engine optimization, offset cylinder, spiny sleeve, transmission.
Some lovely pictures and animations in there.

Very interesting. The 125cc engine is an engineering marvel. Too bad the wizards that designed and developed that engine weren't consulted by the goon squad that tacked the center stand onto it.
