2021 Honda PCX 125 Lessons Learned Review | The Pros and cons

[@tethealey2955]

I've owned two of these the last one did 15k miles in a year of ownership I used it on motorways, A roads, duel carriageways everything, it was ridden infinitely more than my CBR600F, and CRF250L. Traded it for a NC750, I miss it so much it's imperative I get another. Great review thanks for the reminder of what I'm missing.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure!

[@splodge57]

I've been riding bikes for 50 years and for the last 5 also a Forza 300, best buy I ever made. I know a few people in their 70s who have the Forza 125, all think it is a brilliant scooter that helps keep them on two wheels. Well done Honda.

[@cloggsy1971]

I’m a real scooter convert; recently bought my 1st one; a BMW C400GT. In 20-odd years of riding & it’s a revelation. The only thing I’m not looking forward to is BMW’s servicing costs 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@perthsaint66]

I've just got this after my 5 year old PCX was unfortunately destroyed while awaiting MOT, I loved my old PCX but this is a cut above, it's absolutely beautiful to ride in every way, cannot wait to take it up north in the summer for a Highland jaunt

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cool!

[@bren106]

I've got the predecessor to the PCX, the Pantheon, and it just keeps going and going. It's 15 years old and due an MOT in the next week or so, I have no doubts about whether it will pass. In nearly four years of owning it it has needed a starter motor and that's all. I call it my Sherpa because of the amount of stuff I can get under the seat and in the top box.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Brilliant....

[@timmo3351]

I remember those, good to hear they last!

[@TheRausing1]

That’s dope. Many of these anti-scooter motorcycle elitists out there probably have significantly less actual saddle time than you. That’s what it’s all about.

[@TronciM]

The pantheon is a brilliant scooter. Especially because it's at the maximum CBT hp of just under 15hp

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

I’ve ridden motorcycles since 1967 and got a Vespa scooter as a third bike a few years ago. I love the light weight and carrying capacity. It has been a great commuter bike and grocery getter. Great fun and I find that I ride it more than I expected. Thanks Flyer.

[@kevinroberts2395]

I'm shocked that it will do 60mph. Looks like I could settle for that after I'm finished with the 'big' bikes. Awesome. Thanks for the review.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No problem 👍

[@joshnnik]

I started off with scooters back in the sixties, there wasn’t any weather protection on them then. This is simply great value though, similar money to an electric push bike but nearly 5x as fast and all that storage space. Great reviews Andy.

Back in '81 I got a Vespa 200. Big engine, lots of gears, and a huge windshield. It felt like I was in the very lap of luxury.

Great review and this bike is very well priced. A top of the range Raleigh e-bike will cost you £2800, so this machine offers superb value! I run a Honda Forza 350 which I'm very pleased with but the PCX is ideal for shorter runs and commuting .. you can see why Honda sell so many of them!

[@garyb7551]

I started riding on a PCX had it for 3years commuting to work and back ,what an awesome bike like you said cheap to run cheap tax and easy to work on.A bigger after market screen helped alot in the bad weather it was fun to ride and never let me down. After gaining riding experience i moved on to the Faorza 125 its a bit bigger in size but you can't through it about like a PCX. Cheers ride safe.

[@ronnierush9379]

Having brought a second-hand PCX myself to get back into riding bikes again I must say I totally agree with you. Eventually traded mine in for a bigger new bike and now I wish I had kept it as a town bike, fun brilliant little performer in the town traffic. P.S My PCX came with a Honda larger front screen that the previous owner had brought so it was better in the rain.

[@spdaltid]

I rented a PCX150 [ the new one is a 160+hybrid! woohoo ] recently for 2 weeks. Everything you say is true, the build and ride quality are truly superb. At a bit over six feet tall, I found the seating position a bit cramped. If I owned one I'd need to adjust the reach. The keyless ignition/remote is maybe good in an urban environment, but here on a tropical island a real security issue when you want to take a swim. Usually I loop my bike key through the pocket lanyard on my boardshorts... Not sure how the budgie smuggler riders get on either way!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice one Bob!

[@eminencegrise3872]

Buy a small Aquapac and 2m of thin rope. Attach the Aquapac to the one end with a bowline knot. On the other end, make a hangmans knot. Put the loop of the hangmans knot around your waist and tighten it. Put the key into the Aquapac and into your pocket. Works great for me, never lost or soaked a key.

[@TheThinker39]

Thanks for this excellent review. I appreciate your fearless enthusiasm. Too many reviewers feel compelled to not like anything and their reviews are fault-finding exercises, so nothing sounds very good. The "cons" you noted -- limited storage and wind protection -- are important for a prospective buyer to know about. But you did not allow them to stop you from loving an excellent bike.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It is a great bike….perfect town transport!

[@johnwilmott8063]

I was on the verge of buying one earlier this year. However the rear drum brake exposed chrome handlebar, and wiring put me off. Lo and behold, the 2025 version addresses both those issues. With a really nice 5 inch tft screen, Android connectivity and rear disc brake. 😀

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cool!

[@iallso1]

You can quite easily fit a topbox in which to secure your helmet enabling the storage under the seat to accommodate jacket and pants, first aid kit and document wallet.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Very true - very practical machine this….

[@iallso1]

@@TheMissendenFlyer I do think that for predominantly city riding they are a great and fun bike to get around on. It handled going up some reasonably steep streets in the hill suburbs, but I also took it down the motorway, went to pull out from behind a HGV to overtake and with the headwind, I was actually slowed down and had to tuck back in. The return trip with the wind behind was 15kmph faster.

Placed an order for mine, should be with me at the end of February according to my local Honda dealer. Those two negatives mentions can be solved by usage of a top box and an extended windscreen which Honda sell or you can buy aftermarket parts. I've seen people mention that placing their helmet upside down sometimes helps with storing their helmet under the seat with some models.

Great machine though - enjoy your new ride!

Good to see you covering a few small capacity scooters. I'm a big fan, having ridden my son's Honda Forza 125 and Yamaha Nmax. I've also owned a couple of modern Vespa Scooters (200 and 300cc) and absolutely loved them. They make perfect sense for a lot of transport requirements and are immensely fun to ride. Although I'm in a 1200cc Triumph now, I would happily own another scooter. Ever considered reviewing one of the 300cc Vespa models?

The only downer I can see is them modern plastic midi & maxi styled scooters is all the plastic ,when you have to remove it .It’s a right pain .I have a similar one made by Malaguti with a Yamaha mirranelli engine in cost me £ 2,899 •00 about 21 years ago ,Even then it would do 75 mph down a slight incline on clock .with two valve 12•2 hp LC engine .I got it to use as a runabout & motorised shopping trolly ,as it had a massive under seat capacity ( 2 helmets ). Ideal for beer & drive thru burger runs .Of course time has moved on & the PCX is more up to date tech wise & much better fuel economy for its performance .I find these type of scooters very comfortable to the point where you can easily nod off asleep .It’s a Honda say no more ,it will run forever with regular oil changes.👍

[@timmo3351]

Each to their own with scooters, had a 100cc Peugeot years back, so much fun on the lanes of Devon, even rode it up the M5 when I moved to Bristol with all my possessions strapped to the back! Seriously thinking of a maxi scoot for when the office reopens 👍🏻

[@jrdnshws]

I’ve got a brand new 23 plate pcx which now has enough room for a full face helmet.

[@martinsalmeida321]

The storage space under the seat is not supposed to accommodate an action camera attached to a full-face helmet. One cannot complain about a feature that never was supposed to exist and that was never advertised. Regarding the front screen, there are two extra items that are recommended to acquire together with this scooter - a frontal full screen and a rear case. In my case, I also bought the warranty extension for an extra two year period. The main problem with two-wheel vehicles is the lack of technical competence of many local workshops, sometimes making your own safety a concern. I had a serious accident with my previous PCX-125 (in 2017) because of a problem I reported since day one and never solved - the front wheel wobbled if you touch the break, even slightly, when curving. In my view, there was an alignment problem between the front and rear wheel. The bike was more than once in an official Honda workshop and the problem was never solved. It was my first real accident in 40 years two-wheel driving. Regretful and avoidable.

I had a 2010 pcx which had old school headlamp bulbs, never once used high beam, swopped for a new 2017 pcx witch had an LED headlamp and it was rubbish, bordering on dangerous especially when cornering the beam pattern and spread was poor, loved the bike though great for nipping round town, loads of confidence in the wet with such a low centre of gravity

[@gerryattrickbiker]

Lucky old me! 60 years on two wheels only came to the pcx 2017 after hip replacement. Now have 2019 model. Absolute new lease of life, my wealthy mate swapped his street triple for a 125 forza and we are lucky enough to live at the southern end of the Derbyshire Dale's so 100 mile days out on the lovely A and B roads are the norm, priceless. My only gripe is with Honda uk is, my 2017 bike had notchy headstock bearings at 1 Yr old, done under warranty. Strangely my 2019 has the same problem on the two year service (both services done late due to covid delays) claim rejected, not happy

[@BikingChap]

Thanks for reviewing the PCX, I'm trying to choose between this and the NMAX. I prefer the look of the NMAX, the dash has far more information on it's less trendy but more readable LCD and the styling looks more modern. The NMAX also seems to be roomier for tall guys like me. The fact that Honda, unlike Yamaha, have chosen to fit a drum on the rear, so no rear ABS or linked braking at all, is disappointing, especially when in Thailand they choose to fit the bike with a disc. All that said I see quite a few reports of early engine wear (oil consumption) on the NMAX which may well be a deal breaker. In short the Honda engine in the NMAX chassis would be perfect! Thanks again.

[@jonpram1737]

I do love the PCX, though not ridden a 125 version I doubt it could be that much different to the 150 really. The build quality and reliability of these is amazing. You can often judge these kind of bikes by their second hand adverts. Unlike most large capacity bikes, scoots most commonly have to work for their breakfast and so it’s completely normal to see them 2 or 3 years old (usually whenever the warranty/finance ends) with more than a few dozen thousand Km’s and the PCX’s always stay looking great which I think says it all really. Deal breakers for me are primarily the under seat storage - it’s just too measly for no real reason - and being a tall fella there’s not a lot of knee room on them. I tried this and the adv150 a bunch but ended up with an nmax purely because more leg room, fits a man sized helmet. I would disagree with you Andy in that I think automatic shut off is a nuisance on a scooter not a boon lol, but to each their own! For me these things don’t actually burn enough fuel at idle for it to make any difference and you want the motor already running once you’ve filtered to the front, so I don’t really see the point, useless complexity in my book. But TC is good, as is finally getting rid of the drum at the back, and scooters always need keyless as little shits will try and steal them Overall good bike, but c’mon Honda… make it fit a proper full face helmet already

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for the feedback - fair points! You can of course turn off the idle stop feature and according to insurance companies keyless actually makes bikes more stealable!

[@jonpram1737]

@@TheMissendenFlyer can you turn it off-off or does it reset to on at every power off like an electronics device from the 80’s? Interesting on the keyless report though! Is that high tech crims hacking the thing or just being able to wheel it away easier? Bit of a shame as I hoped it might at least slow them down lol. Never had a bike with it, but I do have a car with it and fortunately learnt before it was too late that you can start the bloody thing if the key fob is in a room adjacent to the garage. Not sure if it’s a super powerful keyfob or just my garage walls are made of Papier-mâché. I notice on my wife’s newer car it does seem to only be able to start if the key fob is in the garage however. For example in her handbag on the counter next to the car… lol

Might pick one up for fun and maybe try doordash until it's paid for itself.

[@andrehenry7714]

lack of space for the big helmet = probably a sneaky tactic to get you to buy a top box.

I've never thought PCX has 125L engine option in Europe, we got 160L option only in asia (with the same price tag conversion).

[@harveywilde6781]

It's for compulsory with Europe's A1 motorcycle licence. Which meant that you could only drive motorcycles (or scooters) with 125cc or less engines. Technically Asia also once had the PCX 125 with their first generation.

In the city, we don’t really need a scooter like this in the Netherlands. We mostly use bicycles or go on foot or use public transport. The scooters that you find a lot are the electric and normal scooters that are restricted to 25km/h without helmet or 50 km/h ones (50cc)with helmet. You won’t see a lot of 125 or 250cc scooters in the Netherlands. There are more of the heavier scooters around.

Im towing with the idea of getting a 125 manual bike for my A1 test coming up. But I can only afford pcx or a manual.

[@CharloBagis]

I thought about getting a scooter all my life. After watching your review, I ordered a red Honda PCX 125 just like the one you have. Can't wait for it, it should be delivered in July 2022. If I may ask, could you suggest a good quality full face helmet?

I’m a fan of the HJC RPhA 11

[@flight879]

I have the 125cc pcx in srilanka and it's such a great bike, I have raced with 150cc clutch bikes like the Yamaha fz and have beat it without a sweat

Lol

Great Video! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure!

[@02bigkev]

I would love to ride a scooter, never had the opportunity, Thanks for showing. 👍

[@grantkokich6906]

Usual thorough review.

[@jamesyeoman2875]

I have a xl helmet no camera on it, and it fits under the seat no problem.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice one!

[@cyclist3969]

Self-cancelling indicators would be nice, Yamaha used them, the indicator will cancel after a certain distance of travel, is it a feature banned by EU regulations?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No, some motorcycles have self cancelling indicators (my BMW GS and Honda GoldWing both do)

[@muchasgracias6976]

Would love to see you review a 125 Super Cub, but somehow I don't think that would ever happen.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Why not??

[@cyclist3969]

SuperCub 125 does not work, good bike but physically too cramped for a rider of over 5 feet 3 inches, medium/large stature riders you will not be comfortable on a SuperCub, the Forza is the premium scooter, physically larger than a PCX, but the enhanced purchase price of Forza vs PCX is a matter for your consideration

[@GManWrites]

Good news for scooter riders in Canada🇨🇦 Yamaha are bringing the Yamaha SMax 300 here in 2022 😃

[@youtubintrotter]

How can I get the City Grip 2's you have on the front shipped to the U.S.? I can buy the rear here, but somehow they seem impossible to purchase from anywhere in the world! It makes no sense, it's insane! I am so frustrated!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don’t know I’m afraid- sorry!

[@babybambi8389]

Great review!!!

[@user-ck6kq8zl2i]

I would get one of these of an nmax to bob around on but I will always be a fair weather rider,so it would be parked up for 3 months over winter. On a motorcycle I could bump start it when I come to ride it...but with these stop start keyless auto bikes I dont think it would be that simple. And I couldn't be assed taking it apart just to get to the battery.
