I bought an 2018 PCX125 with 1012 miles on it . I've since done over 13000 miles in 18 months on it. Never had any trouble, never gone wrong and I love it. I rode it on a 230 miles round trip and it was great. Would definitely recommend them.

I had a 1982 Honda C70 motorcycle for 10 years that only had 70cc engine, 6 hp, top speed of 50 mph. But even with that old technology, got 120 miles per gallon. 26" wheels made it much more controllable. Power was fine in town, but struggled on few hills in area. Peace

[@RedskullPro]

I used to ride a old 50cc called "Mobra 50", My dad had it from when he was young and it was a lot of fun! That one had 4hp!

[@alucardpat3619]

Yes it's not perfect but let me say the general opinion from Greek delivery guys, this scooter is hard worker, no mechanical problems after many km of work, but yes I agree with your points in general.

[@RedskullPro]

I see many of these as delivery scooters here as well! So they must be quite reliable since everyone uses them

[@MrBUNNYBASS]

Great video! I bought the same scouter few days ago and I agree 100% with you. In the end its value is more than fair compared to the quality this moto has.

[@RedskullPro]

Can't find anything better for that price! Enjoy your new bike!

[@Regantdarcy]

Very thorough review 👍🏼 I’m actually about to buy this exact scooter soon as a daily commuter around town here in NY.

[@RedskullPro]

It’s a great machine for intown riding! If you add a top box as well you can even do grocery shopping with it! Thanks for watching!

[@GAM5T]

Honda's PCX and Yamaha's Nmax are the most popular 125cc scooters in South Korea these days. PCX is especially known for it's durability and gas mileage while Nmax is known for better acceleration, but lower gas mileage and durability. Both are great scooters for everyday transportation. I've been riding my PCX for 2 years now, put about 53000km on it and I've never had to fix anything. I've only done maintenance every 3000km and it still runs great. Great bike for small~average height people. If you are tall though, better off with higher cc scooters or maybe manual bikes instead. Great for riding in busy traffic, lacking for high speed long distance ride (maybe 20km+). I usually only reach speed upto ~90km/h on dashboard because if you go over 90km/h, the whole scooter begins to vibrate. Oh and Yamaha's nmax has 2 channel ABS system, but Honda only offers front wheel ABS which is a bummer. 2 channel ABS system really makes a big difference

[@RedskullPro]

Wow, 50k km in 2 years! That’s impressive! Thanks for sharing!

[@Ellias31773]

What you said 100% true. I just bought it 2 weeks ago and it was a huge upgrade from my Honda Scoopy 2020 110cc. Really feel like a boss when I'm riding on it ❤

[@RedskullPro]

Right on! Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone!

[@hasanacar7882]

Hello friends I'm using the 125cc version of this bike. In Turkey, the 150cc version has not been brought for 5 years. only 125cc is sold... The 160cc version has never been imported. The worst part of the Turkish versions is that the rear brakes are drum brakes and there is only a 125cc version. good sides; Keyless start, 2.5 liters for 100 km (city), 2.0 liters for 100 km (long distance) Turkey price is currently 4,800 USD

Didn't expect a scooter review from you. This week i am planning of ordering Honda Vision 110 which fits my commuting needs. I looking also Honda SH mode but they are so similar I cannot justify the extra 500 euros...

[@RedskullPro]

I didn't expect one either :) But I figured it could be useful for someone that may be looking at this scooter. I ordered a Honda CB500X a coup,d of weeks ago...so I am getting that in a few days and trading in the scooter. I wonder if the Vision 110 gets even better gams milage than the pcx!

I have PCX for 3/4 years now and i have drove it in dark a lot, mostly becouse i used to worked as waiter and my shift was till midnight and so i agree that lights are not really good but with "longdistance lights" driving at night is just fine.

[@StefanSabo992]

Very good and realiable, I have de 2021 model, but if you scratch it, the color code (written inside the box) doesn’t help you. The Honda dealers don’t paint them, you have to order to the manufacturer the pieces which come already painted but are very very expensive (300-400-500€ / one piece).

[@RedskullPro]

I’ve seen so many that are all scratched up… I guess that explains why nobody is replacing the parts that get scratched! I didn’t know. Thanks for sharing!

@redskul. At 13.46 why did you throttle and brake at the same time? In CVT transmissions doing that will damage the clutch plates isn't it?

How stable is the handlebar with the top box on when riding high speed? Do you feel any wobbling or shaking on handlebar?

[@RedskullPro]

I haven't experienced any wobbling even with the top box fully loaded and riding around 90km/h

[@boyscrush123]

What about the quality of the body material? We are here in Indonesia to get a 160cc engine with a starting price of around 2000$, but the material is very bad, the material is getting downgraded, it has only been used for a year, many body panels are vibrating and loose rattle and many problems such as the waterpump on the seepage radiator and the engine is very vibrating when the iddle, I think the price here is very cheap because with 2000$ it has got complete features and a good design

[@DudePlays247]

I have a full license, and own a z900, and a mt09. Both are amazing but it doesn’t fail to impress me how good and fuel efficient this little scooter is, just ordered the new 2023 model in the new grey color scheme.

Great scooter and review! I have the same in gray/blue color. The vibration is mostly like from the plastic panel which is between the headlight and the windshield, thats were i found mine was vibrating from. For windshield i got the Ermax sport turing (53cm, product code: ST01T18-03) and its working good for me, i am 1.75 and i can feel the wind only on my head, but not at all on my chest. Also, for the headlight, maybe you need to adjust it. Im saying that because mine is lighting great veeeery far, even better than my car.I used to have other scooters and super motards and pcx's lights are superb in compare with everything else i had in the past. Try to adjust it, im sure you will like it much more. Stay safe and enjoy your ride!!

[@RedskullPro]

Hey, thanks for checking out the video and the suggestions! Since that video...well I traded the pcx in for a honda cb500x, and than I traded that one in for a Honda NT1100 dct :)

would this scooter be suitable for a tall person (6'5")?
