Nice to see another video from you! Enjoyed that one.
Thanks Keith! I’m trying to secure some more bikes to test but it’s hard to avoid the ‘we can lend you bikes if you say nice things about them’ trap which so many channels seem to fall in to. Might be trying some older ‘classics’ 400/4 for eg, not sure how it would go down but it would different :)
Hey Jon.....welcome back with a vid......I bought a 2012 PCX and had it for 10 years which I used for work......I had upgraded tall screen, shocks, pipe and a ton of bling attained when I was in Bali....I loved it and so did the wife around town and regretted selling it when I moved out of town...in Bali and a lot of eastern countries they are 150cc ....that extra 25 cc makes a difference.... keep a check on the belt and rollers .....cheers for the vid mate
Thanks as ever Adam, struggled a bit with the quality on this one but I’m determined to get some more content up shortly. It’s a great little thing and given the stroke appears the same I wonder if it’s just the barrel / piston that differs. Would be a nice little upgrade if so for those with full licenses.
Good review and agree with your points. I have a 2021 but it is basically the same as the 2024. After 6000km, the sticking fuel cover seems to have resolved itself but I definitely experienced it when the scoot was new. I installed a taller Puig screen and a Shad 33l topcase on mine. My only complaint is that the battery on the remote fobs seem to need to be replaced every 4 - 6 months. Could be some interference with the Honda MapIT tracker that came with mine here in Spain. Brilliant tracker and app though. Not sure why they don't sell it in other countries. After 6000 km, I can hit 110kph indicated but normally drive at 90 - 95 on dual carriageways. Otherwise it is a faultless urban bike and offers great value for the money.
Ah, thank you! I forgot to mention the fob battery, I had heard about it. Odd isn’t it? As mine has been mainly used round town this was the first dual carriageway run so it may still be a little tight. What impressed me most was how refined, stable and sweet handling it was. Nicer than the 350 ADV handling wise imho.
@@BikingChap After the initial breaking in period, it maxed out at 105 so it has definitely become slightly faster on the top end with a few more kms on the engine. As you noted, it is more lively at urban speeds than you would think for a 125.
@@macraemorse that’s useful to know, thank you. I’ve had CBFs and YBRs in the past and while they’re great for longer journey I think the scoots are so much better in town to avoid the endless gear changing.
Is there room under the seat for a helmet or no?
There is in my honda vision 110 2023.
Hi, it's very touch and go. My large, full faced Shoei doesn't fit but many open faced helmets fit fine. Can you take your helmet in to a dealer and see if it fits being buying?
@@BikingChap I mean could I guess. But is stupid designing a scooter that can't hold a full face.
I won't wear a half face. If I ever fall off Id like to keep my jaw.
I just bought my vision so I'm happy enough. Just dissappointed in Honda I guess if they havent designed the PCX to hold one.
@KrisVic91 fair point Chris, mine is tight but then I’ve got a head the size of a small planet. They’re a fair bit more punchy than the vision and it’s worth checking to see if your lid fits ok. Agreed re the open face lid.
Wow, never knew bikes had stop/start 🤯 Assuming you can class the X-ADV 750 as a scooter then I've proper fallen for Scooters. There's an R1250GS in my garage too, but the X-ADV is my goto bike. In fact I'll most likely hand back the GS when the PCP is up and stick with the Honda 😎 Thanks for the real world review.
I absolutely get that, the 125s are great around town, but do struggle over 50 or where you have bigger, longer hills where the 300 / 350s come in to their own. Then you have the ADV which many guys use for light touring in Europe, like an NC bit with better quality suspension / brakes. What’s not to like?
