Hi went in to showroom and test drove a SH125i it had good points in that it stuck to the road in the wet conditions and that the brakes worked really well apart from that it felt weird sitting so upright and a little exposed. It felt and sounded like a traditional scooter something my nan would have loved or something you'd hire on a lads holiday. Still it probably a very good reliable machine.
I didn't need to test drive the pcx seeing as ive had one for a year now . To start with it looks great with the improvements.
The bodywork looks stylish and actually makes my old (2013 model)feel a bit dated.
It just felt right when I sat on it and my heart was won over yet again

THE WINNER PCX Ive ordered new model in WHITE and should be ready in about a week so I can continue my knowledge of London on it.

One big advantage the SH has over the PCX is ABS.
Well worth having in London traffic imo.

well I totally agree shame the pcx doesn't have it but still wasn't anough to sway me
plus you re paying the extra bit more .
Still most London drivers are fine, its the suburbs that scare me.

I was interested in the SHi, a bit more power and top speed than the PCX even if sharing the same engine, but when the new PCX was announced, that was it :)

That's great. I found my new 2013 and really wish I could have waited longer but money being what it is and having retired recently 2013 won
