Totally agree with the Medley at number 1. Owned one for 6 months and travelled over 3,000 miles. MPG @ 120 and phenomenal reliability. Slim body makes it easy to filter and the lights are amazing. Local dealer is the icing on the cake. 2 year warranty and 12 months breakdown assistance. Why wouldn't you buy one. Love it. Beverly 400 next.

Bought the Medley 150 last year. Best purchase ever. The 125 would be more than sufficient as well I think, as these engines develop lots of torque at the rear wheel.

Having ridden honda scooters for years, I've got to say that the drum brake is brilliant on the back wheel. It's saved me a few times, where it tends to slide your back end instead of grabbing it. And this tendency to rely on the front disc can get you splattered. Also I got the conjoined brakes separated, Now I can use the back brake for slipping through traffick. Throttle and back brake only makes for no wobble, Got that tip from a police bike rider, try it.

It's easy to tune your disk brakes by changing the pads. There's nothing inherently superior about drum brakes except they used to cost the manufacturer less to produce than disc brakes. And in the old days the pad materials used to be more sensitive to water splashing so the drums could survive a puddle or two better than unshielded disc brakes. But the drums also hold water in longer once it's inside. But ever since materials have improved there's no real place for drum brakes on any motor vehicle. I guess they want to have upgrade talking points and put the drum brakes on the lower-priced models.

As someone who has owned Euro 5 versions of the Piaggio Medley and the Honda PCX I would like to add to your assessment of these scooters. The Medley has a slightly more informative display showing 2 trip meters ( 1 for the PCX) and also ambient air temperature. As you say the Medley produces 15BHP with a top speed of 70 MPH versus the PCX’s 12.5 BHP and 65 MPH. It also has a slightly greater amount of underseat storage although the PCX still has room for a full face helmet + room for gloves etc. The PCX however outshines the Medley in other ways, if looks are important the PCX wins hands down. It’s fuel consumption is at least 20% better than the Medley and is considerably lighter (about 30 Kg). I’m 5’7” and sitting on the PCX I can get my feet flat on the ground, on the Medley I could not achieve that level of control. The turning circle of the PCX is better and manoeuvring on a gravel driveway is far easier on the PCX. Likewise putting the bike on the centre stand is easier with the PCX. The PCX consistently outsells not only the Medley but all other scooters and powered two wheelers in the UK, I don’t think those consumers have got it wrong. One final point in my experience both bikes handle superbly and are ideal for the twisty A and B roads in my area.

Having said that if I were to go for a modern look it would be your first choice especially at that price. What did surprise me was the Suzuki for a no frills commuter its an excellent scooter. Maybe just maybe Im giving my age away. My favs price not to be considered is the Vespa and Lambretta.

I have a 125cc Medley 17 plate and 50200 miles the head gasket has just gone. Was hoping to get well over 60k as I maintain it better than most do. I am disappointed for this to happen. The scooter is in excellent condition so I will be dropping a second hand engine in it, but altogether it another £850 to £900 with labour etc. I also own the 21 plate Medley which has done 17k. I now wait to see if the 21 plate engine gets further than the 17 plate. I do over 20000 miles a year so wont be too long for an update.

It may be your top 10 but putting the SH125i at six is nonsense, it has more power than the PCX, ABS on both front and rear wheels unlike the PCX, has larger wheels that give better ride quality than the PCX. It has a flat floor and hook to carry a bag unlike the PCX which makes it easier to get on and off and is one of the best selling scooters in Europe. When I choose to buy a 125 scooter I looked at plenty but for me the one that stood head and shoulders above the others in features, build quality and practicality was the SH125i and personally I like the styling and the red colour I chose. If you are going to do these top 10 best scooters vids then maybe use a few people instead of the opinion of just one person that really means nothing.

I bought a new Piaggio Medley 125 in April 2021 and, following a very grim first 3-4 months, it's been great. The problem I had was that the engine warning light came on after about 100 miles on the clock. Contacted the dealer who said to bring it in, by which time the light was off. This happened intermittently for 3-4 months involving 3 returns to the dealer before the problem was eventually rectified (a software update issue or something). During this time, it has to be said I was pretty unhappy with it and the dealer. However, since the software issue was corrected, it has been excellent. The bike has terrific acceleration and will hit 70 mph at the drop of a hat. Storage is excellent and I now have a top box on order ready for the summer. The only other negative is that occasionally the glove box cover on the rear of the leg shield drops open during transit, a little unnerving when you're not expecting it and you have to get it back in place!

I go about 52km/l to 75km/l (really good range)fully loaded. extra lights in the topbox, floodlight on the side. plenty fast 0-60km/t 115km/t on the top but I wouldent do that.

As owner of Yamaha N-Max i must agree with You. Cons: Same engine in R-125 has full 15BHP vs 12BHP in N-Max Storage underseat fit only one full helmet or two open helmets Poor wind/rain protection (knees, arms, shoulders and head) with standard size windscreen. And 6.5 litre tank can be bigger Pros: Amazing fuel economy in town ABS in standard Great handling in wind, rain (but i change tyres in mine to all season one) Suspension is firm but comfortable Very nimble but stable at slow speed - You can crawl for miles, without put feet on ground One of biggest leg room on 125cc bikes

@@70Dazky Not really - driving licence A1 only allows to 125cc max. So capacity is not a issue. No need heavier less efficient 155cc engine. Just silly decision of Yamaha to cut off power of this engine to 9 kW. Same 9kW engine is fitted to Xmax as well. Same engine is in R125 - but there Yamaha decide to unlock full 11kW... So they can do it. Honda or Aprillia has 11kW in their 125cc scooters. Power 11kw = 15BHP, 9kW = 12BHP

Actually the Medley will not get anywhere near 70 mph as it has an rpm restrictor at 111 kph indicated (103 GPS) so while it will accelerate faster than the PCX it will not have a higher top speed than around 63 mph max, which makes the PCX equal to it. So the only advantage of the Medley is the under seat storage, but the PCX is a better overall scooter with higher fuel efficiency, comfort and reliability. That is why a new Medley is heavily discounted while the PCX is not.

Do you keep up with available scooters in Philippines? Not many choices for 125cc “maxi” style with extended leg room as well as floorboard for transporting larger items. The new Burgman EX isn’t real powerful but checks those boxes. Owners rave about cruising seat comfort on long rides and no overheat issues. Now has silent start, 12” rear wheel and start stop tech. Without some upgrades like ABS but at 93K pesos the price is attractive. Any advice? Thanks for this nice video!

What would you recommend for longer commuting distances in between cities? When speeds around 55mph are needed to feel safe in traffic? I prrsonaly dont mind style of the medley but im little bit woried about weather protection.

The Aura is great when you buy it new but the reliabilty doesn't compare to a Yamaha or Honda. I did 17k on my Aura in 18 months, it started chewing belts on the regular no matter what parts I changed, at one point I did the clutch, variator and belt, 600 miles later, another one gone. The switch to turn the bike on was dodgy at times, batteries in the FOB would drain between 2 weeks and 6 months. The tyres are deadly in winter conditions, so throw another £120 on for a good set of rubber. The handlebars were slightly off centre which was annoying. A creak in the front end developed after 6 months which I never found a solution for. The fuel gauge stopped working after 12 months, had to rely on trip meter and fill up at 160 miles.The engine side of things, no real complaints, it's just everything else attached to it which is lacking in quality. I've since purchsed a 2023 ex demo PCX with 800 miles on. Wow, what a bike. A literal jetski on wheels. The quality difference is instantly noticable. I've not had the bike for long enough to compare any long term issues but first impressions fill me with confidence.

Your chioces of top ten are great.I ride a forza 125, not in your top ten as its more of maxi scooter. Looking at your top ten I think I would love to buy the aprila 125, but what puts me of is there isn't any ABS, yet they added track controle, doesnt make sense.They should have push it a little for the ABS .That siad I think I would still consider it, Should it get an update in the future to ABS.I would class it number 1 in the top ten of 2024 If it got the update to ABS alongside the track controle. just my opinion given its looks and specs. I am surprised you didnt include the all new ADV sym 125 has ABS track controle 15ltr fule tank cabaility of road on road fantastic looks its a all rounder number one contender as well

The thing that struck me as an obvious fault in your number one pick is that it has no windshield. I could understand that feature on the Vespa, for "style" reasons, but the Piaggio ought not be governed by that particular consideration. It's a feature of importance for any scooter actually being used for commuting.

Somewhere in the top 2/3 I’d insert the Yamaha BWs 125 Zuma. Front rack storage, floor board storage with hook, front pocket & USB outlet, full face large helmet + space underseat, rack for trunk and side pannier add-ons, light off-road capability. I shaved the seat down, so I could sit back and swapped the passenger pfoor pegs for some kuryakan hang down pegs, so my feet are more like a motorcycle’s geometry, so I can easily lift myself off the seat going over bumps. Definitely better quality than the Chinese knockoffs.
