Got to say John your mindset is remarkably similar to my own when it comes to safety, escape roots, always looking 5-6 cars ahead, its kept me from never having an accident from 46 years of driving bikes and cars , avoided loads because of it. so you keep up your standards pal. I am in the market for this bike and is why i'm watching this, excellent ride along with much information like the mpg, the emergency braking etc, one of the best video's out there if not the best covering this machine so thank you very much for that John.
Very kind words - thanks dude. Hope it works out for you and you keep up that record! Ride safe. 👍🏻
Over the past 40 years I have ridden everything from an FS1E to a GL1800 GoldWIng but had a test ride on one of these last week and it was a hoot. When I came back an hour later, the grin on my face said it all. With petrol prices going stupid as they are I think it's a no brainer.
Agreed. I moved to a 650cc last year but I’m considering getting a CBF125 with the same PCX engine in - it does 200mpg! Impossible to go further for less money!
have a red one as well .71 years old,ridden since 16 years old,all types of bikes. just bought a t max as well. making the best of biking, thanks for a lovely video ,i like your style.best wishes.
Thanks John. Only as old as you feel. I hope I’m still enjoying biking when I’m 71 mate. Passed my MOD1 test today. Hurrah!
Thanks John.
Really appreciate people like you taking the time making reviews like this. As you say not many UK based videos.
I'm now ordering mine in white. Happy days!
Thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoy many happy miles riding. Stay safe!
You might find my new video interesting too - check it out here: ruclips.net/video/3NH6qxxavxA/видео.html
Hi Phil. Do you still have the bike and how has ownership been ?
Great review of the little PCX keep up the vids. As a novice rider your riding skills and mind set for riding safe are excellent mate,you won’t have any problems getting your full license. Got mine 2 years ago at 50 lol. Regarding ditching the car ,me & the wife had a car each but I gave mine back at the end of its pcp deal & not replaced it & not missed it. Do use her car occasionally still. Commute on my motorbike now DCT cheaper ,own bike outright & every ride rain or shine is enjoyable.
Thanks mate. I've ridden cycles and e bikes on the road for years. I think that experience has really helped. I feel safe and confident on the bike. I'm happy at slow and high speeds.
I'm not ruling out going through to my full license yet... I like the idea of about a 300 dct
Know this route really well, Telford to merry hill route, so a very personalised review, thank you sir
Most welcome mate. Feel free to drop me a message if you are local and what to arrange a ride out jrewillis AT Gmail DOT com
Got myself a brand new showroom PCX two years ago still got everyone tells me to sit my mod 1+2 as the L plates really don't do this awesome machine any justice being a professional bus driver I just can't be bothered with the test so re-doing The CBT tomorrow to once again be at one with my scoot these bikes are just amazing not had a seconds trouble in two years of owning her but can agree fully with changing out the screen to a bigger one this is my next project! Great video very well put together I'm now a subscriber ride safe be well.
Cheers mate. Glad it helped. I agree. Currently can't see me taking my test. It's so fun to ride and just does the job I need it to perfectly. Stay safe mate.
Ordered mine and it arrives here on Monday, I am in Portugal and never ridden a scooter or bike in my life. Thanks for all the advice and putting me at ease with my purchase. Subscribed ! Btw I went for white.
You'll love it. So easy to ride. Just run it in well (no full throttle starts until after your 600 mile / 1000km oil change). It's super fun. My car has only done 50 miles since June!
You might find my new video interesting too - check it out here: ruclips.net/video/3NH6qxxavxA/видео.html
This series of videos has been incredibly helpful, thank you.
Glad they helped 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience, much appreciated. Nice job. Cheers from Paris
Thanks so much. Be sure to subscribe for more to come.
Thanks John. Thinking of getting one of these myself before the end of the year so very useful to hear your feedback and see it being ridden on A roads and keeping up well with other traffic. CBT next...
Yeah it's ace. I'll do a commute video soon. 👍🏻
I got 2021 ice bear rocket 50 cc scooter I just love it.It runs 45 to 50 mph.The technology on scooters has came a long ways..😎🙏🇺🇲
Nice. Hope you enjoy being on 2 wheels!
@@jrewillis yes I sure do brother..It's very awesome..
Thanks John - great review. I had a Vespa GTS 125 that I loved until it was stolen a couple of years ago - this review has convinced me to buy a PCX.
Fantastic to hear about you getting a PCX. Sorry to hear about your Vespa. Make sure to be subscribed for more content and updates. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
Very enjoyable road trip and commentary! From a PCX brother in The Colonies.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it. More content coming soon 😊
Nicest video I have ever watched. So relaxing .thats why I went and bought one 2020 white .thanks a lot
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Well done john for doing a video of this bike in the uk because I was thinking of getting this scooter. You have convinced me that it's the rite scooter for myself,hope to see more videos of you on your pcx 👍
Hi Steven, thanks for the kind words. I’ve not got my PCX now - still riding though. Check out my latest stuff to find out what! 👍🏻
As an owner of many many 50-125cc bikes an important advantage of a scooter is the weather protection over say a honda c90. Also the belt only needs changing at 12k. Whereas on my c90/anf125 in winter despite a chain guard I had seized links and had to soak the chain in diesel. A right faff. The engine/ electrics and gubbins are under the seat and not exposed. Maintenance is easy seat cover off and everything accessible. The one big negative is if you get a puncture or need tyre replacement on a belt scooter. Involves quite a bit of work.in the end I’ve had an xmax250 and sh300 pocket rockets indeed. Am getting on now and thinking of getting a. Forza 350 and selling big bike
Good honest review. Very helpful. I am about to buy the 2020 SH Honda 125 scooter with it's upgraded 4 valve engine. Ideal commuters..not meant for speed but still nippy engines
Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hope your SH125 goes well. 👍🏼
The Honda SH300i is worth considering if you’re thinking of a bigger scooter. Excellent build quality and performance. I bought one recently and I’m very impressed, even though I have a couple of larger motorcycles in the garage (Tiger 800 & Versys 650).
I recently picked up a lovely condition second-hand Honda Innova 125 for commuting, but maybe the PCX would be more suitable, especially with the fuel range and underseat storage.
I’ve finally decided to return to 2 wheels for my 3 mile commute to work after 30 years of using the car!
Interesting. I might consider a 300ish CC but it would mean doing my full license which currently I can't justify the money for.
Never say never. Did you consider the Forza 300? I've heard great things about it.
John Willis The SH300, & 125 are probably more sporty with their 16” wheels...which are quite large for a scooter, whereas the Forza would be better suited for longer distance. Quite pricey, but a very capable and well equipped bike.
I’ve just looked at the PCX at my Honda dealer and might just sell my Innova and buy a new one next year.
Yes i have a honda jazz and am 72 ,cheers.
Allen Partridge 😉.. Nice review John 👍
Fantastic review mate. Also have the pcx. Absolutely love it.
Thanks Mark. Really appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
I have the 2019 version in the USA and love it.
Good to hear. So many users of this great scoot around the world!
I have a Forza 125, I'ts awesome, cruises at 70/75 mph I had 82 mph out of her just to see what she can do. I highly recommend it. Great video Steve
Thanks mate. I did consider the Forza. Maybe when I've had the PCX for 3 years I'll consider a Forza 125.
forza is alot more expensive though, and most people would think your mad for spending big boy bike money on a 125. but i have heard its really good.
@@mr.g161 It is really good for me as I commute 40 miles a day and it's no effort at all, I like the PCX too but for me personally it was money well spent
@@garycowee8312 :) fair enough fella. im trying to get a pcx but as always cash is an issue.
"I'm never going to get a geared bike, I'll tell you that much" ..... Famous last words 😂
Yep. Got the bug 😂
Loved it, as I am on the look for a scooter when I return back to England from the Philippines, where I have a Honda Beat, think you made my mind up, cheers.
All the best.
Very good review and ride.
Cheers mate.
Nice review John. Greetings from Spain
Thanks so much. Hope it's warmer there than it is in the UK! 👍🏻
Great commentary John 👍🏽
Thanks Kamran 👍🏼
Hi John, you mentioned the Forza 125, i had one brand new for two years and had quite a lot of trouble with it ! - dead battery, complete electrical failure (harness fault), main roller bearing failure - all fixed under warranty i should add, lovely to ride - if you can depend on it , made in Italy - just saying !!
That's actually good to hear. My PCX had been sat from December until this week. Started first time. Check my fluids and tyres etc and it's back to commuting on it now it's not freezing. Loved my first ride this week.
So much better than sitting in the car and traffic!
Hi John the suzuki is great m8 you can cruise all day at 70 mph with the eco light on and its returning around 90 mpg also I've orderd the higher screen thanks tim
Great to hear. We should arrange a little ride out together now lockdown has eased a bit. Drop me an email - jrewillis at Gmail dot com 👍🏼
Video and audio were good John. Thanks for doing these reviews, very much appreciated, it's always good to hear another opinion. Would also be good to hear your thoughts on other accessories, if and when you get them. Top box, termoscud, heated grips, etc. Especially as we get towards winter!
Thanks Tom. I've got a few more videos to do. If it ever stops raining here in the UK! Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. 👍🏻
@@jrewillis Haha I know, I've been donning the waterproof over trousers!
You might find my new video interesting too - check it out here: ruclips.net/video/3NH6qxxavxA/видео.html
Nice video, cool ride 👍
Thanks dude 👍🏻
Hi John, enjoyed the video. I'm considering changing my ten-year-old 400cc Burgman for one of these as my commute is much like you described yours. Am envying the massive mpg (I get about 60-65) and it just makes more sense for the job if the extra power isn't needed or used. Like the colour and the screen looks a worthwhile addition. I'd probably go for a top box, too, which would add to its carrying capacity but also give it a bigger profile, which may make a difference to the respect some other vehicles treat it with.
Completely agree. I can't see any need for a bigger scooter currently. I might swap to a Forza in a few years but for now the PCX is an ideal commuter and with the additions you and myself have done it makes it much more comfortable and practical. 👍🏻
John Willis got my PCX just over a week ago. 69 plate, white with Givi screen and heated grips, and I’ve added a top box. Loving it. Takes me no longer to get to and from work, enjoyable to ride, much easier to push around and costing me a lot less in fuel. Brilliant.
love the video Cant decide PCX125 or SH125 think it all about Leg room and seat position ,i need to sit on both but love the scooters
The PCX has plenty of room. But not much floor obviously. But it ride more like a motorbike because of it.
The SH is also a good bike. Either will be good.
Great video, looking at getting the italjet dragster after this lockdown is over as a toy (mid life crisis) lol
That's a cool looking scooter! Cool front end design! Thanks for commenting mate 👍
Much better performance than my innova 125 140 mpg and top speed 50
Good review , had bigger bikes for years but may have a job change next year and work via agencies to give me more flexibility when I work so considering a pcx at that point for the commute . Currently have a CB500X which is a great bike, so much so that I don't wish to go back to anything bigger now as it's plenty fast enough for my needs, also like the little groms and tnt but can see the practicality of a scooter from a storage point of view .
Be interesting to have a cost video , cost to buy, fuel cost, servicing cost, cost per mile etc
Not sure how exposed the bike is underneath but worth looking at giving it a coating of acf50 as bikes don't weather very well when ridden in all weather's, plenty of videos on that about, basically don't get it on any places where your hands and feet go and don't get it on the brakes and tyres
Yeah I used to ACF50 PCX - the bottom is completely covered which is awesome. Not much exposed to the elements. The exhaust was the only part that got a bit rusty.
Thanks for commenting. I’ll look into the video idea for the future 👍🏻
Good real world review.
Thanks mate 👍🏻
very good review sir,, and music kept low. (my pet hate) because I like to hear the motor in action.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it.
Im getting 2023 plate next week. Not many vids on the new release.
If it's anything like my one they will be brilliant. I miss mine now!
Honda NC750 DCT then seems like a perfect replacement when you pass your exam.
Yeah reckon I might go for one long term. I haven’t right now as they are expensive. I’m gonna put a video out soon about what I’ve been riding and how things have progressed.
@@jrewillis expensive if you want it new, used ones are available from just £2.5k with decent examples around £3.5-4.5k
Might have to have a look. Currently riding a 10 year old 650. So not bothered about age providing it’s looked after
Hope you inform us even better about your experiences with the PCX.
Is there anything in particular you'd like a video on?
@@jrewillis John, I'd be interested in maintenance, comfort on long rides, fuel economy in city traffic, your satisfactory about the product and how that has been built up, would you trade it in for an exact copy on a later point or would you rather have a larger scooter (from my perspective as a full license motor rider). I can go on......
Really helpful to know, thanks mate. I'll add those to my video list
thanks for this review John your right not many from the uk and owning it let's you review it better iv currently got a sinnis terrain but I'm thinking about selling it and buying a pcx as I do deliveroo and think it would be better for me
Thanks for the comment. The PCX is fantastic on fuel. Cheap to run and super reliable so far. I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.
Judging by the steady view from teh camera, the suspension must be comfortable
Yes. It's good. And it's no on a stabilizing mount. Just strapped to helmet.
here in Brazil it is sold in version 150cc
I do wonder why they make a 125/150 version across the world. Seems a waste of resources.
A nice video. I keep watching reviews of this bike and finances and availability permitting will get one in 2022. I would have been interesting to see how you look on the bike when seated being tall and probably reasonably a large shoe size. Possibly a side view in a shop window or give the camera to a friend/partner. Thank you.
I no longer have the scooter. But I’m 6ft 3 and size 12 feet. I didn’t have any issues fitting on it. Inside leg 33 inches.
Would recommend using cycle-ergo.com to see how this compares to other scooters/bikes
@@jrewillis thank you. Sad to hear about the accident. I was also interested to hear about the mod1 and 2 tests as I passed my “test” in 1979. What a joke that was compared to what is required now.
If I hadn’t done the voluntary and very valuable RAC/Acu training scheme prior to that I doubt I would have passed so easily.
Yeah I’m gonna look at IAM / ROSPA training in the summer. Never stop learning 👍🏻
Hi john just to say I had a suzuki burgman 200 last week as it was a offer I could not refuse hope your ok m8 hope to have a ride out soon thanks tim
Awesome. I'm tempted to do my direct access and switch up to a bigger scooter in a few years. Considering an MP3 three wheeler or the tricity too. Depends on what money is like lol. Stay safe mate.
Dont blame you m8 the yamaha is a good one and they say there are very stable and you can drive one on a car license to
Also the burgman 200 rides nice I'd say top speed about 80 mph and you can cruise at about 65mph _ 70 mph but at this time it's doing 88 mpg so it's very eco it's done only 6 thousands and it's a 2017 abs he let me have it for 1500 pounds thanks tim
Great looking scooter , would like the PCX150 but no-one sells them in the U.K , Just wish they'd release a 250 Model.
There wouldn't really be market for the 150 in the UK. CBT would only allow 125. I suppose a 250 could work but I'd just get the 300 Forza. Better spec and even more comfortable.
Hello John, what is the seating position on it? I had a xmax 250 and remember that it was quite horrible for my back and spine when I went thru bumpy roads. The main drawback of scooters is all the force when suspension is working goes into your back and not legs as opposed to motocycles.
It is a traditional scooter in that sense. But the suspension is good in my opinion. It's comfy on my 30-40 minute commute on some pretty bumpy roads.
Don't stop till you get to Bridge North.
Needs some serious resurfacing work atm!
im driving everyday to go my work total 50 km road trip.yeah now the weather is cold but im not like to drive car in traffic.(in istanbul)
I agree. I'd rather be colder than sit in massive city traffic. I have heated gloves. Brilliant!
@@jrewillis yeah nice choice,when i'm go to work by car,its take 1 hour 30 minute, now im going in 30 minute.only problem is this i need to go maintance every 2000 km otherwise the motorcycle will out of guarantee.what is your maintance periods in your country ? because im reaching quickly 2000 km
We have a 600 mile initial oil change and valve check then approx 2000 mile intervals.
So they seem slightly longer than you. But your country is no doubt hotter and more stressful on engines than the UK.
Safe riding dude!
@@jrewillis Thank you so much,i will upload my daily trip.i will tell you here.have a nice day
@@jrewillis this my road trip.yeah maybe long but this is how pcx save my time.ruclips.net/video/sfbyKlHq7Hg/видео.html
Great video, helped me a lot to look towards to/think of commuting to work/back home with a scooter :) How is riding on highway? Do you ride all year long? If yes, what equipment do you use for riding in winter? Thanks, big like from my side!
Highway speeds (60+) aren't really that comfortable but short blasts are fine. The screen helps. Along with handlebar muffs and decent gloves.
I ride from March - November in the UK. Basically until we get frost's and heavy rain.
I'd rather ride where possible. It's quicker and cheaper. I'll do a review of my ride gear in the next few days whilst we are in lockdown. Hopefully that'll help you.
Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. Hit the bell too. 👍🏻
@@jrewillis well, here in Czech republic, I don't actually remember a day when it was below 0°C :| I am thinking about getting a scooter, to ride to/from work (about 10kms on highway, 20km on 50mph limited road), as last months the traffic is getting worse and worse and city hall has raised up the prices for parking cars, daily parking now costs 300% in comparison with the period before :( So with the scooter I could save a lot of money on parking, fuel and maintenance :) Thinking of PCX-125 or Yamaha X-Max 125, in Czech republic we can drive such scooters with classic driver license you normally have for driving the car.
Thanks and stay safe!
It'll save a fortune. And time. Time is my main reason. It'll give me about 5hrs a week of free time back for me. My commute is about 12 miles (16km) but it's less than half the time on scooter than in a car.
Great review m8 I had some time ago a sh 125 and it was a nice bike also i had last year sym 300 joymax and that was nice bike to and it was nice to see the area I know well like the rabbit run as I love to have a ride around there too I have been thinking shall I get one again ?? thanks again hope one day we could meet up for a ride out together tim
Thanks for the kind works Tim. Yes once all this is over should arrive a ride out if your still local. Keep in touch 👍
Great m8 I live in stourbridge m8 and my business is in neterton so after lock down yes m8 keep in touch love the vids
Also John the screen looks great to I also have a triumph thruxton 1200 and a kawasaki vn 900 and a 1930 ariel lg250 but one day I'd love another scooter like yours as I love the 125 cc honda they look great and practical bikes John thanks tim ps keep safe with this virus and when it's all over we can go out for a ride tim
As I said last year I had a sym joymax 300 and it was a nice bike I realy loved it john and the finish was very good the one day I finished work and I went to church stretton and over the clee hills and when I got back into kidderminster for a stop I noticed I lost my right hand foot rubber plate but that's all also I wired in a camera but when I sold it I lost a lot of money as it only had 2 thousand miles on it but looking back It would have been better to have kept it but honda makes good bikes John ok chat again soon tim
Hi john hope your okay with the virus and when it's over I will have a ride out together tim
Hi John, I have enjoyed watching your videos. I just bought a brand new pcx 125 today. Can I ask who you got your insurance with please?
I used various providers over the years. I used comparethemarket.com and then put in your details. It’ll give you a good idea of prices. Be honest. When it asks for license type if you are on CBT Then it’s provisional. Brilliant choice of scooter. Hope you enjoy it!
john wonder if you could share the link to where you got the phone holder you called gimmy or jimmy plz thanks bro
Here you go mate:

@@jrewillis thanks lot John good health mate 👍
great videos thanks! one question did you have to move the mirrors after fitting the screen to get full steering lock?
Good question. I haven't. The Honda screen has cut outs. Never had an issue with steering lock. Have to wiggle it through a fairly tight entrance to get it parked at night. No issues.
Hi John,
I’m wondering how protected your legs and feet are from the wind/elements?
Cheers
Marcus
I've got size 12 feet and I sit with me feet at the front of the footboards. my legs are never cold.
I wear decent boots, obviously if it's raining you'll need decent waterproof stuff but in light showers my legs aren't normally soaked. It's always my gloves that get soaked first.
Check out my second vlog where I commute into work. It'll probably show you a more realistic view of how I ride daily.
When it rains it feels like you're sitting in a puddle.
Damp pebbles are thing on a PCX
Should we buy pcx 125cc or 150cc?
Alot depends on your country and licensing requirements. In the UK we only get the 125cc as it allows us to ride it on a less advanced license. A 150cc would require a full license.
There will be very little between them in terms of speed, fuel etc.
Trying to find the best price for a new one.
If you are in the UK Fowler's of Bristol did a 0% HP offer with about £600 down and £55-60 pm - over 3 years - my local dealer matched that using Honda finance - it was easier to try and force it locally than travelling over 100 miles.
Can I just ask as you seem to be well equipped with stuff that you carry in the pcx....do you also carry a puncture repair kit? and have you ever had to repair at the roadside?
I carry a basic tool kit (screwdriver/small multisocket). I also carry a puncture repair kit (bung kit). But thankfully never really used them. Need to get a battery powered pump as if I repair the puncture I currently have no way to pump it up.
The good thing about the PCX is you can carry decent stuff with you.
40-60 seems a bit slow. this handle ok on bypasses? people are mad on those i find it helps to get upto speed quickly.
I haven't had an issue on dual carriageway journeys. Obviously it isn't going to overtake people. But it's fine for up to 60-65mph. It makes a massive difference if it's on a hill - it's much slower acceleration but on flat or downhill it's all fine.
The pcx isn't really made for speed anyway.
Am too thinking like you, getting a PCX and stay on the dct with a view to getting rid of the car. Let me know how you get on with the bike please
I am intending to see if it's possible to do without a car. I have just uploaded my commute. Episode 2 - give it a watch 👍🏻
John Willis ..... going to give the commute a watch and going to bike shop tomorrow to have a look
Hi John - I have the 2019 model red devil same as yours , where did you purchase the touring screen ? - I'm in Manchester UK
I got it from an eBay seller. I'm pretty sure they are a dealer. But it was about £30 cheaper than my local dealer...
John Willis I have the same scoot but need a taller windscreen to minimise the buffering, what model screen is yours ? Great video too, thank you.
It's the official Honda touring screen. Any dealer should be able to get it in. I found it a bit cheaper than my local on eBay.
Did you think about getting a Ys125 yamaha, or other motorcycle? And if you didnt, why?
I did consider the YS125 and CB125F too. But I decided for commuting no gears was way easier!
What do think in regards to performance and practicality of a 20+ stone person??
How tall are you? And inside leg?
@@jrewillis when and viewed one today, brand new and great deal, having sat on both the pcx and forza for the price difference I can manage with the pcx. Order being placed on Saturday and counting down the days now
Awesome. Let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Insurance on these is expensive compared to other 125s due to then getting nicked all the time!
Depends where you are. I paid less that £300 fully comp in my second year. In London they’ll all be super expensive.
@@jrewillis The average 125 for me is £135 a year, however for the PCX its £350😳
Yeah likely is due to how many are stolen due to their use by couriers etc. Insurance is such a personal product - I only paid £20 a year more to go from my 125 to a 650cc bike.
They really aren't. It depends on your location and age. When I had one. I paid £212 a year.
Can i ask have you still got this..have you had any real problems,and how many mile have you done on it,I am seriously thinking about getting one ,so its basic research many thanks ,cheers pete from newark notts,
Had it up until December then sold it as I’m moving to a bigger bike as I couldn’t justify keeping both bikes.
I loved my PCX though. Did nearly 10k on it in 18 months and really found it easy to live with, plenty quick enough for town and super cheap to run.
Any other questions just ask.
@@jrewillis Thanks so much i will keep that in mind cheers again,PS great video.
Cheers Peter 👍🏻
Hi, I've been cycling for decades too and want to get a 125. At the moment it's either this or a Vespa. I'm new to the whole thing so this may sound silly but does having the cycling experience (I'm a bicycle courier- Deliveroo etc.) help in any way when you come to get insurance? Does it reduce it?
Cycling experience won't help with insurance but it will certainly make riding easier. Feels just more natural. I'd personally go honda. Likely more reliable. More up to date and just generally bullet proof reliability. No issues in the 12 months I've had mine.
John Willis cheers

It's a Givi one. Works well with my phone (One plus 7T) smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B010E68GIW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JN-IFbW4J5ANH
@@jrewillis thanks very much - i will check it out
Hi Ive got a geared bike on my CBT but want an auto. Cant decide between PCX, NMAX and SH125. SH125 has best spec - ABs front and back with traction control and a genuine step through. It just looks a bit crap. NMAX and PCX look good and now have ABS at least on the front (although rear drum on PCX) but you have to lift your leg over the centre. I really would like a PCX look with step through. Does that lifting the leg over the middle get on your tits atall? Or does it not bother you?
Tbh it's never been an issue. I think it makes the scooter feel much more like a normal motorcycle than a scooter. Plus it gives you a nice big fuel tank and unless it's pouring down the shape means you don't get that wet. The rear drum is perfect Imo. Low maintenance, you barely use the rear brake anyway. It's plenty up to the job.
I'd never go back to geared bikes for commuting now. It's so much easier and you can concentrate more on the people around you rather than gears etc.
Make a bit more audio effort and lose the music
Wich windshield do you have?
Official Honda touring screen 👍🏻
Holy hell dude :D cant belive someone pays 600 pounds for insurence.
600 is cheap. If you are under 25 in London chances are you’d be paying over £1500 a year easily.
Please lose the music
Yeah we live and learn. More recent content hasn’t got it!
i can barely hear something from the engine in this video, is it realy that quiet ? sry for my english xD
Yes it's super quiet. I'll try and do a closer sound in one of my next videos using my go pro 👍🏼
I can assure you that at about 45 mph the wind becomes louder than the engine.
Agreed. Wind noise overpowers almost anything above 40-50mph
