Honda PCX 125cc Road Trip Around Europe

[@Ghia0010]

Great trip with the little PCX. I have a PCX150 and it's far more than just a scooter for the city. Travelling about 80-100Km/h for longer time (with a higher Givi shield) is no problem you even have some reserve it goes about 120Km/h.It's a really great little machine!

[@Manu-bo]

For me it's Pcx125 30.000 km /2year. Effectively with high Givi windshield, Thermoscud Tucano legs cover, handgrips, Givi tunnel bag EA105B , topcase, givi saddles bags EA101B, perfect to ride long time and far away!

[@furstyferret81]

Used the standard tyres, rear was getting bald so figured i would replace it on the way. Took me a about 1000 miles to actually find someone that sold a tyre to fit and when i changed it the fabric was showing! Very difficult to find a replacement so change before you go and take a good repair kit! Other than that its a good tourer, make sure you do Switzerland as its amazing!!

[@aggropimp]

Thank you so much for sharing!!!, so inspiring. A big salute from Chile.

[@jerrypopelka8829]

Great trip and tribute to Honda and 125 cc engines. Thanks much. I have a 1984 Honda Elite CH125 which runs like new. At 74, I ride it daily and always get 90 to 100 mpg. Wish I could afford PCX 125. Great video. Jerry-Central Florida

because of this video i went to switserland and austria for the first time on my bike this year, and more country's i thought the video was deleted :P, nice to see it again after my own trip

You've made the best advert for the pcx and all for little scooters!

Rain or shine. Just pack up and go. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for making this I got a pcx as my first bike and now im on a manual just because of this video and i love the music.

[@jpm1]

when i had that project i thought i wasn't normal ,and really thought i was somebody weird. but i'm glad to see i'm not alone in my case. this is awesome!

[@satans_pet_penguin]

I love that; a 3000m road trip on a scooter. Brilliant! I've just bought a pcx125 and it's the best purchase I've ever made. It's such a great little bike and really fun to ride.

[@crazy1901]

me too just bought it last week . love it

[@matteoclementi]

Did you ever done it?

[@Chris_Page]

Great adventure Im 50+ had to get one what A great scooter build Q, styling, handling, mpg/kmg, storage space, usb port on mine, love it love it love it

[@u163538]

Such beautiful images! You give me courage to travel with my 300cc scooter around Europe. You see I have several friends that make fun of me and tell me that I would be crazy if I dared to do this with a scooter. Keep traveling, my friend!

[@gatsiosdistillery4210]

fantastic video, thank you. I have a pcx 150 {2015}...... the best scooter i think

[@MrKarakalas]

Congratulations!!! Excellent road trip,with only 125 cc! Respect!

Wow, really nice clip! Makes me want to do a European tour on my cbf 125 sometime. :)

Awesome video to watch and pictures too were fantastic! Thank you for sharing with us all! PCX is on my list and most likely will own one within a week :)

[@honkerman74]

That was fun. The PCX is quite the little workhorse. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@VPB1970]

thanks for sharing. Amazing. I´d love to have the oportunity to do exactly the same trip in my Xenter 125. congrats.

[@gatorgreg1565]

Magnificent video - looks like a beautiful trip! I just bought a PCX and I agree it's a great little machine. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@Manu-bo]

Qui va piano va sano va lontano ! Bonne idée , c'est ce que j'aimerais faire aussi avec mon PCX ou mon Forza 300. Prendre le temps de traverser les paysages en ne roulant pas très vite. Je le ferais plutôt en été pour subir moins de pluie et moins de froid. Je le fais déjà tout l'année dans mon pays et je trouve cela très bien, sauf que mon pays est petit et peu ensoleillé. And i'm agree :"the little pcx never let me down!!! So cheap, simply, economic gas consumption, easy to maintaining and fixing...respect to Honda manufacturer !

[@matteoclementi]

En italienne: Chi va piano va sano e lontano. So awesome that we share even some way to say.

[@chrislj2890]

Fantastic tour and a great video! Personally I couldn't handle those mountain roads, but the pictures were awesome. Kudos to you sir.

[@furstyferret81]

I didnt keep track. Fuel cost was one of the cheapest parts of the trip, camping by Lake Geneva was like £30 a night!! I always wanted to do a trip like this but in my car it would be too expensive, even fully loaded i think the pcx was pulling over 100/mpg. Normally i get about 115/120 mpg.

[@furstyferret81]

I think it took me about 11 days doing about like 200 miles a day. I dont have any kind of blog but its worth looking up Andrew Charnley as he took his PCX half way round the world before it blew up and he had to continue on a bicycle!! He's on facebook and has a very good blog thats worth looking at.

[@sabeillard]

Great video and trip, mate! Absolutely marvellous! Just bought my new PCX 125, great scooter! Congrats from Oporto, Portugal, Sam

[@jboy1919]

125cc motorcycles are just awesome XD !!

[@leeandjude]

awesome road trip! really thinking about getting a scooter very soon. would love to do a europe trip like this, way better on a little bike than car

Fair Play Mate. Just got a PCX in black and your video was excellent. May bung mine on the ferry to Santander and head for Portugal or something! Thanks.

Nice video. I'm torn between the Honda PCX and a Vespa. But at nearly half the price & more features, I'm leaning towards the Honda.

[@ChickenRiceMushrooms]

Fantastic video. I've been thinking about getting a PCX 125, and was wondering if I would be able to do long trips on it. I have made up my mind after watching your video!

[@emptyyourmind9570]

Better the 150cc you can go trip a lot easier

[@ianjenkinson2444]

Top class video, great inspiration

[@drewbehr]

That's awesome man. Touring on a small bike you are doing it the hard way... earning every mile. Keep on!

[@krasky]

Why "the hard way". I think it's even more simple to go on a light bike: you're not in hurry, because you don't have the power to go very fast, therefore you can enjoy everything passing by. It's cheaper! It's more lightweight! Afterall I think it's more a journey than on a bigger bike.

[@ohwell2790]

He is doing it the easy way. Light, great mileage, fun, comfortable, very easy to ride , twist and go and can park anywhere. Nothing hard there.

This should serve as two fingers up to the guys who ride bigger bikes. Just cos it's called a scooter doesn't place limits on what you can do or where you can go.

[@knickerbockers2010]

respect for this, i am planing to do the same. some questions: what is daily km maximum you made and what was avarage speed ? is your pcx tuned ? any advices you can give me ?

[@OCANALDOMARKITO]

Fucking awesome bro God give us health Keep the hard way

[@Nerozz82]

Awesome rides! In wich period did you did that tour? It looks a bit snowy and almost always rainy...!

[@Mikolaj_u]

Great video! Got a question. You had quite a lot of stuff with you. Of all the gear you took, what would you say was the most useful (apart from obvious ones like tent, sleeping bag, money etc)? And what was the least useful and a waste of space?

[@furstyferret81]

The chain lock weighed about 2kg and i think i ditched it on like day 3. A good Europe satnav was essential for finding campsites and planning the next days ride. 12v plug attached to the battery to keep phone/satnav charged (the old pcx doesnt have one). Tall screen. Wish i took handlebar muffs, i removed them because i thought it would be so warm but i had plenty or snow and rain, wet gloves on a cold morning with 10 hours riding ahead is horrible.I think above all the rubber waterproof rainsuit i had saved me, i even slept in it a couple of nights, dont underestimate just how cold it can get even when the weather should be good. Do a small 300mile two day trial run and see what works before you go!

[@Mikolaj_u]

Thanks for reply! Will take a small disc lock rather then chain lock. Got tomtom maps on my phone so will take that rather then separate device. Got a tall screen already installed. Muffs is definitely a good idea; I've been commuting this winter and blimey hands can get really cold even with chunky gloves on. So just ordered pair online. Good idea with the trial run! I'll organise a weekend trip to a campsite in Wales after New Year. By the way, was the jerrycan helpful? When I went to Alps in a car several years ago, I saw plenty petrol stations scattered around.

[@furstyferret81]

Never needed the petrol can, you can get 0.5lt ones on ebay just to be safe!

[@1991kylos]

furstyferret81 what mileage it has now? did you have any problems with this bike? what is the average and hyper eco consumption? :) thank you!

[@marcelobybike]

I loved your videos. One question: how do you attach the rear waterproof case to the PCX?

[@furstyferret81]

Just a net and straps on the passenger handles

[@Erik101]

Hey man, nice vid. thanks. Let me ask you, how you feel once you drive in winter, once road is wet, slippery on your Honda PCX 125 ? Can you handle it? Is that safe ?

[@furstyferret81]

City Grip tyre are very good, only thing I use now!

[@Erik101]

so even wet roads or slippery in winter is OK ?

[@furstyferret81]

Yeah I ride all year round, snow, ice and rain. So long as your careful it's fine.

[@Erik101]

Many thanks and a lot of luck :)

[@peropropadalo2958]

very very cool!!! ;)

[@m.k.piffaretti7238]

Awsome! Is your PCX modified? I mean you did mountain passes with it! How about topspeed of your PCX? Is it comfortable on highway (to travel around 150km)? Thanks and best regards from Switzerland

[@furstyferret81]

It was a little slow on the passes as i had her fully loaded but i still kept up with most traffic, best not to mess and tune with such a small engine because it performs just fine (mostly cursed about at like 55mph)! Having a rucksack on the back to lean on made it much more comfortable. The only problem i had was with the larger roads in France as they are only two lanes with some real bad drivers and its a boring trek to get the good stuff further south from the UK. I was doing a tank a day (maybe 140 miles) and could of happily done more but needed to get checked into a campsite before 6ish each night really. Crossing from France to Switzerland was like a new world, you live in one amazing, beautiful and friendly country! I will have another adventure that focuses on Switzerland soon, possibly starting with a ferry to Santander...but then Iceland and Norway are calling me.. . :)

[@khhietzing]

Wow, I wanna do this also! What tires did you use? Standard IRC or did you change your tires? Thank you for the video

[@user-ck6kq8zl2i]

I have a decent few cars and dont need to worry about finances too much. That said I still fancy one of these just for fun, but it doesn't square with most peoples reason for getting this sort of bike...I.e a cheap commuter. But I still want one even though it makes no sense atall for me to get one.

I know what you mean, I still want a Honda C90 just for the hell of it!

[@Sam-qf9wi]

furstyferret81 how did u charge the thing?

[@furstyferret81]

I added a 12v charger to the battery, cost a few quid. Also charged everything at campsites when i found sockets...at times i unplugged TV's, heaters, snack machines... :)

[@muzisann]

hey m8! I`m just about to purchase one of the PCX. What is your suggestions about this little machine? Max travel distance? Did you ever noticed any problems with the engine at long range? Average travel speed? Cheers your answers

[@furstyferret81]

Its a good little bike and i still have mine but I will be upgrading to a Honda S-Wing 125 next year as its just a better bike. The PCX was fine doing very long runs and mountain climbs even when loaded up with gear. Its never let me down but the center stand had cracked, this is a common problem and can kill the bike as the stand attachment is part of the engine case. When it cracks it can cause an oil leak!

[@ivor69uk]

Hi would you do it again?. Great vid and goes to show you dont need a big bike. 👍

[@kturkoglu]

Which cities did you stop by? Could you post a rough list/plan?

[@furstyferret81]

KT I actually had no plan as such just a satnav so each night i would zoom out on the the satnav and look for hills and mountains etc then just set it to avoid motorways. I generally headed for capitals and landmarks but sometimes i just loved getting lost, at about 6pm i would pull out the satnav to take me to the nearest campsite, wish they stayed open later so i could do more miles but they all seemed to close at like 6/7pm!
